In this innovative synthesis of words and images, the award-winning author of Open City and photography critic for The New York Times Magazine combines two of his great passions. One of Time's Top 10 Non-Fiction Books of the Year - One of Smithsonian.com's Ten Best Photography Books of the Year When it comes to Teju Cole, the unexpected is not unfamiliar: He's an acclaimed novelist, an influential essayist, and an internationally exhibited photographer. In Blind Spot, readers follow Cole's inimitable artistic vision into the visual realm as he continues to refine the voice, eye, and intellectual obsessions that earned him such acclaim for Open City. Here, journey through more than 150 of Cole's full-color original photos, each accompanied by his lyrical and evocative prose, forming a multimedia diary of years of near-constant travel: from a park in Berlin to a mountain range in Switzerland, a church exterior in Lagos to a parking lot in Brooklyn; landscapes and interiors, beautiful or quotidian, that inspire Cole's memories, fantasies, and introspections. Ships in Capri remind him of the work of writers from Homer to Edna O'Brien; a hotel room in Wannsee brings back a disturbing dream about a friend's death; a home in Tivoli evokes a transformative period of semi-blindness, after which "the photography changed. . . . The looking changed." As exquisitely wrought as the work of Anne Carson or Chris Marker, Blind Spot is a testament to the art of seeing by one of the most powerful and original voices in contemporary literature. Praise for Blind Spot "Common things are] made radiant by the quality of Cole's looking. . . . In this new, luminous book, Cole shows himself to be really one of the best at seeing."--The Guardian "This lyrical essay in photographs paired with texts explores the mysteries of the ordinary."--The New York Times Books Review (Editors' Choice) "Stunning . . . feels like the fulfillment of an intellectual project that has defined most of Cole's] career."--Slate "Dazzling . . . cerebral yet intimate . . . combines personal essay, history, biography, journalism, and photography into a seamless package, capturing human dignity and grace through careful, clear-eyed reverence."--Vice "An eclectically brilliant distillation of what photography can do, and why it remains an important art form."--San Francisco ChronicleBinding Type: Hardcover

Soo good!

Love this product! Im so greatful to have found this through Nina Pool (thank u Nina!) After trying multiple different face washes that left my sensitive skin feeling tight and irritated, im so glad to have tried this one. It's a gel like consistancy thats gentle, hydrating and leaves my face feeling softer and cleaner than any other product ive tried. Ive ordered this product many times. I hope they never discontinue this.

Best Facewash
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Favorite face wash ever. No harsh smells or 'chemically' feel. Creates a nice bit of suds and leaves your skin feeling soft and really clean. Compared to other face washes, it is not too expensive for a great product.

Great for oily skin & makeup removal
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great for oily skin & makeup removal. Because Iβm so oily, I usually wash my face twice to get all the oil & makeup off, but this is pretty good for 1 use, & also feels nice & clean without stripping & no fragrance at all.
