Why photo-eye?
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,
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 We make it easy for you to do this by providing a dual shopping cart system with separate checkouts.

Picturing the Invisible I/III

Harold Edgerton&#;Flash Revelations
&#;
&#;
In scientific photography striking designs invisible to the human eye are often recorded in the course of investigations.[1]
Helmut Gernsheim, c.
&#;
It was not an artist but the forskare Fran&#;ois Arago who first announced the invention of photography to the public, in Paris in , thus anticipating the close relationship that has linked science and photography ever since.[2]
Gilles Mora, c.
&#;
Harold Edgerton was above all, more than a photographer with purely artistic concerns, a researcher and a scientist in search of new modes to see and to perceive the world. His images should be understood as visual and scientific experiments, where the possible findings were not previously conceived.[3]

He was a teacher and mentor to generations of students. One of those students, Prof J. Kim Vandiver, went on to become the Center's founding director. As Doc Edgerton's TA, he put together a system that allowed him to take high-speed color schlieren photos, allowing us to see the unseen, such as the column of hot air rising from a candle, or the sonic boom of a bullet traveling at Mach 2. Our image gallery presents selected images from Edgerton's collection, images captured over the years with our color schlieren system, and recent high-speed images captured by students and staff. Additionally, we have high-speed video cameras and short-duration strobes capable of capturing events down to micros
