Blinded by accident the author read Mrs. Eustis' account of work with the blind in The Saturday Evening in 1927 learned he would have to go to Switzerland to get training and a dog and started on his road to independence. The first pupil of Jack Humphrey's the course of concentration principles of dog guidance and companionship tests and workouts led to a proving ground in the U.S. tours across the country and with college and a job proving possible with Buddy the first school for dogs and the blind in his home town Nashville Tenn. And from then on the pioneer years of the school which moved to Morristown N.J. the lecturing and travel the screening of the many candidates the sorties into ""high society"" for more money were always abetted by Buddy's terrific sense sensibility and sensitivity – and her omnipresent good behavior and often humor. Buddy was instrumental in getting hotels railroads and restaurants and just before she died airlines to accept her with her human charge; she more than made a new life and career for Frank for she made possible undreamed of worlds for those who would not be subjugated by their affliction. This is one more and a most appealing aspect of The Seeing Eye's history and a lively loving tribute to one man's very best friend. </p><p><strong>Insurance & handling is included free.

Seventy-eight fashion photographs combine eroticism violence surrealism and a sense of mystery. Passion glamour eroticism irony these are Rebecca Blake's obsessions document here in seventy-eight photographs that sear--and chill--with a dry-ice intensity. While issuing form the concerns and conventions of fashion photography Blake's work transcends that or any other genre sometimes achieving the character of the psychological portrait sometimes that of the cinematographic tableau. Always sumptuous--never more so that when they flirt with the violent the gritty the ambiguous these images are of a complexity that rewards and occasionally defies multiple viewings. Rebecca Blake was an acclaimed music video/commercial director and fashion photographer perhaps best known for her collaborations with music artist Prince. Born in Antwerp Belgium Blake came to the United States at a young age and her European roots are evident in her work and aesthetics. She attended the prestigious High School for Music and Art as a piano major before attending New York University where she earned her Bachelor’s Degree studying music and art history. After graduating college Blake quickly established a career as a successful commercial photographer working with some of the world’s most prestigious fashion and beauty brands: Estee Lauder Revlon Elizabeth Arden Yves St. Laurent and Clairol among others. In 1977 she was hired by director Irvin Kershner to work closely with both himself and actress Faye Dunaway as special photographic consultant on the feature film The Eyes of Laura Mars which starred Dunaway as a New York fashion photographer who has premonitions of murders. At the same time Blake was commissioned by Columbia Pictures to create a series of erotic photographs which were featured in the film alongside work by German fashion photographer Helmut Newton. Blake quickly moved into directing commercials for clients such as L’Oréal Pantene Revlon Shiseido Victoria’s Secret Guess Maybelline Citroen and Volkswagen. Over the course of her career Blake worked with an extensive list of the top models musicians and actors of our time: Angelina Jolie Claudia Schiffer Kate Moss Cindy Crawford Hallie Berry Jessica Lange Monica Bellucci John Travolta Christie Brinkley U2 Duran Duran Debbie Harry Sheena Easton Sheila E. Michael Bolton KISS George Benson Pattie La Belle Stephanie Seymour Lauren Hutton Paulina Porizkova Brooke Shields Grace Jones Vanessa Williams John Malkovich Kevin Kline Darryl Hall and Luis Miguel among others. Blake was a trailblazer in many ways being one of the handful of women who were able to break into the traditional “boy’s club†of advertising and music video production at a time when females were relegated to lesser roles. Blake’s photography is in the permanent collections of the International Center of Photography The Brooklyn Museum and The Mellon Collection of Surreal Art. Her work has been exhibited at The Rizzoli Gallery Nikon House The Hastings Gallery The Witkin Gallery and The Light Gallery among others.<br /> I. Quartet Books hardcover

1984D7171London / Melbourne / New York: Quartet Books 1984. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. Publisher's black cloth blindstamped lettering on upper board and spine; full-color photo-illustrated dust jacket; folio; unpaginated approx. pp. 150 with full-color photo-illustrations throughout. Inscribed to Elaine Kaufman 1929-2010 beloved restauranteur to NYC's stars and scoundrels on the half-title page "December 1984 / To Elaine / May all our dreams come true. / Glorya and Murray". Book is fine appearing new. Dust jacket faintly scratched and scuffed. An excellent copy. Elaborately staged fashion photography from the 1980s unironically capturing the decade's aesthetics "passion!" "glamour!" and profound silliness. It's a crying shame on Urban Outfitters that they haven't put up the dough to produce a second edition. Just saying. <br/><br/> Quartet Books hardcover
