I Photo Central dealer Vintage Works, Ltd. has announced the publication of its first limited edition book, which is entitled: Marcus Doyle: Night Vision/Intimacies of an Unblinking Eye. Twenty-six photographs by Doyle will be reproduced in full color and will be accompanied by an essay by noted photography critic Matt Damsker.

The 32-page book will be offered in a special edition, which will be cloth hardbound (plus color dust jacket) and slip-cased and will come with an 8 x 10 inch signed photograph and be limited to only 100 copies (ISBN 0-9771415-1-9), for a starting list price of $500 U.S. (prices will go up $100/20 copies). A softbound edition, which is limited to 1,400 copies (ISBN 0-9771415-0-0), is list priced at $39.95 U.S. Both versions of the book will be available October 15, 2005.

Marcus Doyle will be signing copies during the show on Friday and Saturday nights from 5-8 p.m.

To quote Matt Damsker's essay: "The photographs of Marcus Doyle transform the familiar spaces and landscapes of the modern world into twilight zones--nearly surreal, almost alien, yet always recognizable for what they are…Doyle's large-format approach, with saturated colors that result from exposures as long as three hours, turns his unstaged tableaux into visions of exalted expectancy amidst man's tendency to trivialize.
