"The Village" showcases the early photographic work of Bill Owens with Essays by Victoria Sheridan and Geir Jordahl. Owens unique photographic vision is best known from his book "Suburbia" published in 1973. This work was rooted in his Peace Corp experience in Jamaica from 1964-66. Mr. Owens received word of his acceptance to the Peace Corps one month after President Kennedy was assassinated. At the time he was teaching High School in San Jose, California. His tour in Jamaica was to represent our country as a schoolteacher in a country village. Before he left he purchased a $10 Leica Camera and taped up the shutter to make it operate. The village people moved him greatly and as he documented his experience he discovered his true passion and calling as a social documentary photographer. Owens has published many books over the decades. He has received a Guggenheim Fellowship (1976) and two NEA grants. "Suburbia" has been hailed globally as one of the most important photography books of the 20th century and has been in print for 40 years, however, Owens calls his Jamaica photographs the work of his heart.

Don't pass this one by
Color: Gunmetal Grey, Size: Rechargeable
This is the best wine opener we ever had...push button once...it goes in, pulls cork out, then reverses and drops cork in your hand...all with one push of the button. Long battery life between charges.

Effortless and Elegant Wine Opener!
Color: 7-in-1 Black, Size: Rechargeable Set
I absolutely love my CIRCLE JOY Rechargeable Wine Opener! From the moment I opened the box, I could tell it was well-made and stylish. The sleek design looks great on my kitchen counter, and it feels sturdy in my hand. The performance is amazing — it removes corks quickly and smoothly with just the press of a button. No more struggling with manual corkscrews or broken corks! The built-in rechargeable battery lasts a long time, and the charging base keeps everything neat and organized. It also comes with handy accessories like the foil cutter, which works perfectly every time. I’ve used it for several dinner parties, and my guests are always impressed by how effortless it is to open a bottle. If you enjoy wine and want to make your experience easier and more elegant, this electric wine opener is a must-have. It’s functional, beautiful, and makes a perfect gift for any wine lover! 🍷

Fabulous Product!
Color: 7-in-1 Black, Size: Rechargeable Set
This wine opener is fabulous! Foil cutter is sharp and works well. Easily removes the cork, then releases the cork from the corkscrew with a touch of a button. Also seals the wine which I have stored on its side in my wine refrigerator without any leaks. Charges quickly and I have opened many bottles of wine without needing to recharge it. Have had this item for a few months and if it continues to work this well, I will be amazed and very satisfied. Very reasonably priced as compared with similar products that I considered. Most of the other products cost more and did not do all of the functions that the Circle Joy does.
