The explosive growth in photography book publishing has presented photo-eye with an interesting challenge along with what we think is an exciting opportunity.
How can we continue to offer an ever-increasing inventory of photography books, keep those books continuously in stock and compete with the online deep discounters on price and shipping? The answer is that we can shift much our fullfillment to the web's most efficient book operation, Amazon.com.
Now we are happy to offer you Amazon's discounts on books which are almost always in stock from either Amazon directly or Amazon Marketplace. We can also provide you with the same shipping options that Amazon provides, including on qualified orders, free shipping.
It's important to understand that you will still be supporting photo-eye if you order from Amazon or Amazon Marketplace through photoeye.com. We make it easy for you to do this by providing a dual shopping cart system with separate checkouts.
However, you may still opt to purchase a particular title from photo-eye directly even though the same book is available through Amazon at a less expensive price.
Book publishing is not a perfect industry. Though all books are imperfect in some subtle way, we want to be as accurate as possible on our website if we know that there is a problem with a particular book. Imperfections range from a rubbed dustjacket, a small tear in the dustjacket, or a corner of the book being bumped. No fundamental flaw should be part of an imperfect book's condition. E-mail us our call 505.988.5152 should you have questions prior to ordering a particular imperfect book.
Place your order now and we'll send you the item when it arrives.
You will not be charged until your order ships.
An additional change will be added to the standard handling charge for this item as it is a foreign publication and shipping expenses from foreign countries is extremely expensive or it requires a larger, more expensive box or it requires extra care in handling. Thank you for understanding!
According to a recent study, ‘stress’ is the word most commonly used by today’s forty-somethings. What is this stress about? What do we want?
Current Condition consists of four photo novels examining generation x. According to many studies, the word ‘stress’ has been much-used by this age group, and I want to examine what this stress is about. Through four different novels—summer, fall, winter and spring—I wish to compare my generation to the previous one, the Baby Boomers, and also look at the coming one.
Those who came before us took part in a political and social revolution, and amongst the young ones today we find environmentalists such as Greta Thunberg. My theory is that Generation X somehow failed to keep up the fight. Our generation never dared to take a stand on important political issues and we somehow felt as if everything had already been done.
Using these themes, the novels reflect humorously on certain questions, such as what has our generation done to help each other? Is it true that we never dared to be political, hiding our opinions in quotation marks when we wanted to say something? Did political engagement skip a generation?
They also reflect on how women after forty are considered in our society. Why are there so many men represented in ancient sculptures while there are so few women? And how can one change the fact that male artists are called artists while female always have their gender mentioned?
And finally, being middle-aged inevitably calls for an evaluation of one’s work. Two of the photo novels look at how artists work with this feeling that everything has already been made? How is it to work as an artist when one is no longer ‘upcoming’? And how do Generation X artists relate to the new political art scene?”
