Illustrated Boards. Condition: As New. First Edition Thus 1/2000. np (60pp), profusely illustrated in color and duotone. "In 1982, years after Viet Nam, I decided to give myself my own Southeast Asia experience. I wanted to make pictures in a place where I didn't know the rules, where I'd be off balance. Friends who had been there recommended Thailand; nice people, easy transportation, good food. Another friend told me that as long as I was going to Thailand I should go see the refugees coming out of Cambodia. He set me up with The International Rescue Committee, which was working at the Thai-Cambodian border". Published in 1987, "I Want to Take Picture" features black and white images which Burke shot during several trips through Southeast Asia in the early eighties, particularly focusing on the after-effects of the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia. A pristine copy of the 2007 first Twin Palms printing (whose 1987 first Nexus Press edition is cited on page 19 of Martin Parr and Gerry Badger's "The Photobook: A History Volume II", pages 40-41 of The Hasselblad Center's "The Open Book", and pages 258-259 of "The Book of 101 Books") that was limited to two thousand copies.

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. First edition thus (Twin Palms Publishers), first printing. Signed in black marker verso the front free endpaper by Burke, with his personal black 'Actual Signature' and red 'Bînh Fótò' stamps added. Hardcover. Photographically illustrated laminated paper-covered boards, no dust jacket as issued. Photographs and text by Bill Burke. Unpaginated with numerous four-color and black and white plates, designed by Burke (who also originally made the duotone and halftone separations) while in residency at Nexus Press in 1987. 15-1/4 x 11-1/2 inches. This first Twin Palms edition was limited to 2000 hardbound copies. New in publisher's shrink-wrap (slit open for signature). Since the early 1980s, Bill Burke has photographed extensively in Southeast Asia, focusing primarily in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. Burke's haunting and layered examination of the landscape and people is informed by the collective political and social conscience galvanized by the United States' lengthy occupation and annihilation of these regions before, during, and after the Vietnam War. His lifelong desire to connect personally and viscerally to the people he meets sets his work in an altogether separate category from most artists who photograph outside their circumscribed "experience." Neither overtly political nor proscriptive, Burke's work instead recognizes the personal is indeed political. Gone are the cultural stereotypes we have long seen in images of Southeast Asia. Instead we are able to experience the intensity of the individual through Bill Burke's idiosyncratic and careful observation. He obliterates the notion that the "documentary photograph" is a vehicle for "truth" and compellingly shows the viewer that it is always a form of personal or political propaganda. 'I Want to Take Picture' (originally published by Nexus Press in 1987) is a combination artist book and 'travelogue.' It is considered by many to be one of the very best, disturbing and important books in the history of photography. From Bill Burke (1987): "Each day, I was thinking about practicality, is my pass in order, how do I get there, who do I meet that will get me through. The philosophical thoughts came later. When I realized that I had access to the camps and could see the Khmer Rouge, it was like being able to see the Devil. It seamed to be an incredible opportunity." From an interview with Bill Burke by Willis Hartshorn (New York City, June 1987): "Hartshorn: 'Do you find it problematic that in a politically savage environment your pictures are often ambiguous as to who's good and who's bad?' Burke: 'I have no problem with ambiguity. Again, all the information is filtered, everything I know about it is secondhand. I know what the refugees at the border say and what books say. I heard how bad the Khmer Rouge were, and then as I read more I found out the other people had been bad too. The people who were victims at one time were victimizing others at another time. There are two sides, the information is slanted, and it's good that people understand that. . . I would like things to be spelled out clearly so I wouldn't have to think about it. But that's not the way it is. I can't say this is this and that is that. There is no indisputable truth.'" Signed by Author.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 60 pages. Published in 2008. New Reissued Edition of the photographer's classic. One of the greatest photography books of the 20th century. Limited Slipcased Edition of 100 numbered and signed copies. Precedes and should not be confused with the regular trade edition. They have the same ISBN. The Limited Edition is now scarce. A brilliant production by Bill Burke and Jack Woody: Oversize-volume format. The book weighs 4 pounds. Pictorial hard boards with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Bill Burke. The images were produced using the original halftone and duotone films made by the photographer. Black cloth slipcase. Stunning endpapers. Printed on pristine-white, thick uncoated stock paper to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Re-presents, in a Limited Edition format, Bill Burke's "I Want To Take Picture". An exact replica of the original. "In 1982, I decided to give myself my own Southeast Asia experience. I wanted to make pictures in a place where I didn't know the rules, where I'd be off balance. Friends who had been there recommended Thailand; nice people, easy transportation, good food. Another friend told me that as long as I was going to Thailand I should go see the refugees coming out of Cambodia. He set me up with The International Rescue Committee, which was working at the Thai-Cambodian border. Each day, I was thinking about practicality, is my pass in order, how do I get there, who do I meet that will get me through. The philosophical thoughts came later. When I realized that I had access to the camps and could see the Khmer Rouge, it was like being able to see The Devil. It seemed to be an incredible opportunity" (Bill Burke). "I Want To Take Picture" has a deceptive, child-like innocence (starting with the title), which is a ruse that belies the photographer's horror of staring at evil incarnate. The Khmer Rouge systematically killed 1.7 Million Cambodians, more than half the entire population, while, as is often said, the world "watched" helplessly. Bill Burke did not just watch, he took pictures. They deal a fatal blow to all of our preconceived notions about photography and objectivity, truth and beauty. An absolute "must-have" title for Bill Burke collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Slipcased Edition of 100 numbered and signed copies, indicated/numbered as such on the Front Limitation Page. It is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen-marker by Bill Burke. This title is a great photography book. This is one of few copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed copy thus. 60 plates. Bill Burke's "I Want To Take Picture" was selected as one of the greatest photography books in "The Photobook". One of the greatest photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy.
