A Foreigner.

Here's a thing.
Back in the old days of 2012, and after struggling for months with photos from my Indian adventure, I managed to get together another little bookie. The shape, the paper and even the idea behind it were different. It was a super laborious pregnancy and delivery but it made it. Just about.
It's been a while since then and I admit I didn't let many people know about it. Why? That's just me I guess. But here's the thing. The book has been entered into the ever-expanding, insanely variegated and immensely absorbing iPL, the independent Photobook Library. And according to the lovely Larissa Leclair, all three of my paper offspring will feature in the upcoming "A Fair" exhibition. Lets all watch the iPL newsletter for more info, right? (I will).
Cheers guys.

A Sibling.

Following an uneasy gestation and difficult labor, a little sibling to the 256 Days project was born a few days ago. It's name is The Old World and from the outset it appears as a less bright twin. The shape, layout and genome are similar but under the skin it couldn't be more distinct. There's a much darker side to the young one. A soul grim and misty, in a subtle way.

The link is here once more, take a peek if you will.

In Print.

And now, for something completely different. A significant part of this blog, that is the photographic one, has been edited and made into a book. By me of course, there are no commissions, advances et al. Have a look at this preview if you please. Anybody can do that but this was my first time, and I reckon it doesn't look half bad.

* By the way, in case the point was missed, this is about a proper, printed, normal book. The preview shows the entire book and it can be bought (at cost price) from the same link. If anyone's interested of course.
