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.

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!
"Kalabongó is a bold grouping of images, that pull together a masterful use of flash and color. The expert sequencing, takes us on a surreal adventure in a land of figures frozen in motion in hyperbolic, slices of time", Todd Hido
All the images are nocturnal because, in the words of the author, “the night is an accomplice of the light of freedom”. They were taken in San Basilio de Palenque, a town which was once pivotal in the struggle for freedom, and which now is largely obscured and unacknowledged.
Panchoaga, reveals a profound and moving story with graphic language that is both striking and visual. On a night in 1599, thirty people, women and enslaved men, fled from the houses that made up the walled city of Cartagena de Indias in their search for autonomy, territory, and freedom.
People still remember that the maroons “flew” over the land in times of struggle, confronting Spanish troops and defending the fugitive settlers, who for years inhabited mobile hamlets. In 1605, after confrontations with the Crown, they were granted a year of peace, a treaty considered the first of its kind in what is now Colombia.
The struggles waged by the maroons and that year of peace were the seed and the roots of what is now San Basilio de Palenque. Kalabongó (fireflies in the Palenquero language) travel through some of the stories of the oral history of both the distant and recent past in a narrative that mixes the everyday with the historical. The stories of the villagers, as well as the images that make up “Kalabongó”, remind us that the night is “the accomplice of the light of freedom”.
Jorge Panchoaga is a Colombian photographer known for his visual narrative that captures the cultural richness and history of Colombia.
His work reflects his commitment to his country’s identity and has gained national and international recognition.
