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!
NAMASTE: I bow to the divine within you.
When I encounter one of the 3 trillion trees (there are about 400 trees per person) on our planet, I usually begin by seeing them; their form, beauty and uniqueness draw my attention. My other senses may add to my appreciation. I may smell its flower, hear the rustle of the leaves in the wind, feel the texture of the bark and the strength of the tree trunk as I rest against it. As a photographer, intending to showcase a handful of them bathed in special light, I am beginning to understand that I must first get to know the tree with all my other senses, and only after I have understood it in its wholeness will I be
able to truly "see" it. Once my senses have had their fill, perhaps my intellect remembers the vital role they play in making our planet habitable from cleaning the air and water, cooling our environment and supporting ecosystems and biodiversity. They make oxygen, provide food
and shelter for us, and are the source of fossil fuels and medicines.
Their list of contributions to our well being is too long to enumerate. Consider for a moment the choice for an alien species between humans and trees in making this planet hospitable. Suffice it to say, that their importance in keeping us and our planet alive and healthy
is essential and incalculable. But after I sense these things and think these thoughts, what do I feel about a tree? They give us all they have and ask for nothing in return. I can never repay their kindness other than with wise stewardship. So I mostly feel a deep sense of gratitude. I appreciate and cherish them. Recognizing the divinity that permeates each one of them, and my feeling of belonging to something bigger than myself, I feel a sense of oneness with them. Each of these photographs is influenced by and infused with this sense of
wonderment and gratitude.
I simply bow my head and with folded hands say Namaste!
