Euan Ross has a very nice website and podcast about photographic books called Bibioscapes. If you are passionate about photographic books as I am, you should check it out.
Recently he interviewed my book-designer Darren Ciolli-Leach and myself about our decade-long partnership. I hope you enjoy it.
Here is the final instalment of the interview segments from my latest book.
It should give an insight into the realities of printing your own book. I often feel that if you know very little about what’s involved, it’s quite easy to have an opinion about it :-) But the truth is - it’s a risky business printing your own book as there is a considerable financial outlay, and no guarantee that it’s going to sell. Despite what you may feel about my work.
This is the 2nd last of the conversations I had with Sam Gregory of TheTogCast. Personally speaking, this is the part of the conversion that I felt was most important to me. The text on the left hand page is very dear to me. It sums up how we should abstract the landscape.
I hope you enjoy this entry.
I go to Japan every year, and it’s not just the photography or the landscapes that are part of the experience. The people, the weather, the cities, and of course the JR train line announcements are sorely missed.
If you’ve been to Japan, then these two videos (sound only) will take you right there! I promise! And if you haven’t been there - then the music announcements for the train lines may now make you wish to go! It’s a fun place to be :-)
TIP: press play on both. It gives a more authentic experience of being on the train line :-)
Thanks to Clive Maidement for sending these on to me.
A continuation of my walk though my latest book.
Going really minimal…..
