{"product_id":"eye-of-the-beholder-9780792273790","title":"Eye Of The Beholder","description":"\u003cp\u003eJames Stanfield is  without question  one of a kind. He boasts Clint Eastwoods rugged good looks  but hes been to places no movie would ever send a star. Hes a natural diplomat  equally at home in an Appalachian farmhouse  a Bedouin tent  or a papal palace. Hes an adventurer  a raconteur  a perfectionist...and  more important by far  one of the worlds most outstanding  most respected photographers. This extraordinary record of more than three decades behind the lens celebrates a career that led the White House Photographers Association to name him Photographer of the Year in 1970  1977  1982  and 1988 -- just 4 of the over 40 major awards hes won. His work has taken him from the bottomlands of the Potomac River to the Himalayan heights  from Native American powwows to the incense-filled temples of India. He has traveled the globe to document the glittering allure of gold and the skittish  hidden world of rats. And  always  he has produced superlative images that capture the very essence of his subjects. Eye of the Beholder presents 120 examples of Stanfields finest work  along with his own account of how he created it. Youll accompany him as he makes friends with Vatican prelates and Chinese peasants; youll hear his inimitable stories of adventure and artistry  and  best of all  youll see through his keenly observant eye  famous among his colleagues for its ability to discern both the grandeur of the simplest of people and things  and the simple wonder with which the greatest art begins. As Stanfield would be the first to tell you  it has been a glorious and satisfying experience from start to finish  and in this extraordinary book  you have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to share the glory and the satisfaction alike. This is a man gifted as few men are -- and Eye of the Beholder is his generous present to the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279702614069,"sku":"ByrdShop_0792273796","price":30.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780792273790.jpg?v=1780607084","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/eye-of-the-beholder-9780792273790","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
