TPI is not really sure what we think about the immanent merger between photoeye photography and amazon but it is definately a sign of the times.
Photoeye is a web based photographic book publishing house and distribution company who have agreed to intergrate their site with amazon’s. Customers will be able to buy a variety of stock carried by amazon through the photoeye website.
Somewhat optimistically, the open letter to their customers announcing the merger also suggests that:
“you may still opt to purchase a particular title from photoeye directly even though the same book is available through amazon at a less expensive price”.
The only constant may be change but we think that it is a little sad to see photoeye diluted as they had been photographic specialists since 1979. Good luck to all involved.
