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!
Hiroshi Watanabe’s latest book of photographs highlights the artist’s early works as a young photographer in Japan, before moving to America and becoming a highly regarded fine art photographer. These images bear the raw, youthful energy of a young artist in his twenties, photographing his surroundings, his friends and moments both poignant and mundane. Some photos veer towards a surrealistic sensibility, occasionally playing with and skewing the genre of still-life photography. Many of the images in the book are everyday “snapshots”, intuitively-taken, without the careful planning and exquisite direction of his later work.
In the book’s essay, Kenji Takazawa writes, “The rich potential that snapshots possess has been flowing in the undercurrent of Watanabe’s work…As the Sun Sets on Me, it Rises on You, may be both a starting point and a departure from Watanabe’s origins and hometown.”
The 50 black and white photos in this soft bound book possess a melancholic mood while also conveying a restless spirit and an impulse to find artistic expression in daily life. As the essay describes, the images are “rough” compared to his previously published works and include accidental double exposures and overexposed film.
As the Sun Sets on Me, It Rises On You is published by Dark Spring Press, designed by Robert Gallerani and Andy Burgess, and includes an essay by Kenji Takazawa that was translated from Japanese by Hiroshi Watanabe.
The first printing of the first edition is limited to 250 copies in total, including 200 trade copies and 50 collectors editions.
The Limited Edition comes with one of three options of a signed and numbered gelatin silver print, printed by the artist.
