eMail comments from original "The Moon has been Eaten" owners:
"Visually stunning"
"I have looked at and read your book cover to cover. Wonderful piece of work. You have made the place come alive in a way the travel shows and brochures never did"
"What a wonderful book. When Juanita saw it she exclaimed "Oh wow", something she has NEVER said about any of the books I have written (and there have been quite a few. Of course, they are all math ….)"
"This morning I finally got the mailbox with your book. I have to say that the book is way much more impressive than I had thought"
"You go guy! I love the book"
"Wow, I love your book! So much work has gone into it – well done!"
"I just finished reading every word of your beautifully written book. It brought back wonderful memories of Suzanne's and my four days on the island last fall and provided a wonderful flavor of what a long-term stay would have been like."

These B&W images are the result of over a year on the most isolated island on the planet. Created as full-sized exhibition pieces, they can now be found in my book: The Moon has been Eaten, each accompanied by anecdote – original prints are sold with a copy of its book anecdote attached to the back.

Easter Island Project Book
One of the images in the collection was taken during a total eclipse of the moon, the Rapanui phrase for which is also the title of the book.

From the Flyleaf:
"Since the printing of The Moon has been Eaten in 2012 I have added a number of images to the 98 in the original Easter Island portfolio. Some were either overlooked at the time or left out for specific reasons. A couple were shot with the iPhone camera and wouldn’t hold up to the size goals I set for the project, and a few more were shot on return trips to Easter Island to deliver books, taking advantage of the opportunity to fill in some gaps. In the end, if viewed as an independent entity, it makes for a pretty eclectic collection of B&W images. It is meant as an addendum or supplement to the main volume and completes my B&W portrait of Easter Island."

from BayPhoto Books a work of art
* If ordering both books, choice of original print, 9.5 inches in the long direction on a 9x10.5 sheet, an image from either volume may be stipulated.
I use Bay Photo Books for the ultimate in quality photo-book printing, for which the word "book" is something of a misnomer.
They are high resolution fine art B&W prints done straight from my print files, with the same pigmented inks that I use on my display prints, on a double sided version of the same paper I print on, and then hard bound in embossed black linen. Even the jacket is quality printed and coated for protection.
