"Having difficulty identifying a particular species of bird through her spotting scope, Carol E. Richards took a photograph through the lens to assist with her research. The resulting picture turned out to be far more than a tool for verification. It had a mood and visual content the artist was drawn to, and led to the creation of a series of beautiful, dream-like vignettes. 'Unlike some photographs of wildlife that are clear and provide answers', says Richards, 'these soft visuals raise questions. It was a surprising discovery; as I spied on these birds, I could see their charm and individuality' " (Publisher's blurb) . Not everyone loves cats or dogs. But you're not human if you do not love birds. An absolute "must-have" title for Carol E. Richards and bird lovers/collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition, indicated/numbered as such in pencil on the Back Limitation Page. It comes with an original color print that is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on verso by Carol E. Richards. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: The remaining copies from the publisher command $100. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. 12 color plates, 1 original print.
