Salix Polaris
By Anka Sielska
$24 — Purchase Book
Selected as a Best Book of 2014, photo-eye's Melanie McWhorter describes Salix Polaris like this: "The images in this sweet little book, which fits so neatly in the palm of my hand, document an arduous trip with Polish scientists to the Polish Polar Station. The title comes from the name of a polar willow that is showcased in the book. It is the only book on my list whose description uses the word dendrologists. I could love it just for that, but all the other qualities — size, printing and design — make it a wonderful piece to hold and possess."
2016 Michael Kenna Wall Calendar
By Michael Kenna
$25 — Purchase Calendar
Now in its 20th year, the Michael Kenna Wall Calendar is a yearly tradition from Nazreali Press — and also a tradition for many photo-eye customers. Featuring 13 images total and printed at an oversized 14x18 inches, Kenna's black & white images are printed here with the same care as his monographs, using "Daido black" ink on uncoated natural Japanese paper. We often hear that customers hang on to the old calendars to leaf through again and again. The 2016 calendar includes images from across the globe, Japan to New Mexico, New Zealand to Switzerland.
Camera Era
By Barbara Levine and Martin Venezky
$25 — Purchase Book
Selected as a Best Book of 2014, Andy Adams describes Camera Era as: "A photography book about the act of photography. Curator Barbara Levine is one of our most vocal champions of the vernacular picture and the images she collects — 'Vernacular photography, anonymous art, found ephemera' — tell us more about ourselves than we think. Camera Era is a smartly designed gem that fits in the palm of your hand or your back pocket. Digital media makes it easier than ever to express ourselves but the urge to document our lives isn’t new. The impulse to selfie — I photograph, therefore I am — may be as old as humankind."
