#photobooksunday As a huge VU fan there was no chance I wasn't picking up Adam Ritchie's Velvet Underground 1965-66. A great time capsule of one of the great bands, in not THE great band. Published by the ever-wonderful @caferoyalbooks 🦉
NYC! I'll be signing copies of 𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘰, published by @brownowlpress this 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟱/𝟴 @ 𝟱𝗽𝗺 at the @icp Photobook Fest.
Find me at the Hartford table and come say hi! 🤍
We will have lots of other books by an amazing line up of artists & @hartfordphotomfa alums, as well as 4 other signings throughout the weekend (Andrew @andrewdmcclees and I are sharing the Fri 5pm slot).
I'll also have free rock zines and a couple of dummies up my sleeve that I would be happy to share in complete silence.
See you there 🤍
i’m doing a signing Friday @ 5pm @icp during photobook fest, selling my last few artist copies of “Wanderlust” published on @brownowlpress at the @hartfordphotomfa . This is the only way left to get copies of this out of print zine.
#photobooksunday Fashion Magazine: Austin, Texas by Lise Sarfati (@lise_sarfati ). Cool shortlived concept of fashion focused books (or thick advert-free magazines) that gave primary creative control to the photographer. Lise Sarfati is probably my favourite portrait photographer, captures the subjects so tenderly. Everything feels like it's the beat after the reveal, the moment after the sting. Very poignant, but very stylish also.
my new zine is OUT with @brownowlpress !

in lieu of a statement, I am leaving this poem here:
After great pain, a formal feeling comes –
The Nerves sit ceremonious, like Tombs –
The stiff Heart questions ‘was it He, that bore,’
And ‘Yesterday, or Centuries before’?
The Feet, mechanical, go round –
A Wooden way
Of Ground, or Air, or Ought –
Regardless grown,
A Quartz contentment, like a stone –
This is the Hour of Lead –
Remembered, if outlived,
As Freezing persons, recollect the Snow –
First – Chill – then Stupor – then the letting go
Emily Dickinson
#photobooksunday Paris by Robert Frank (Steidl) sometimes you have to pull out the classics. Robert Frank was my entry to photography and photobooks, visiting Barcelona in 2005 as a student and seeing a retrospective of his work. The Americans is, obviously, incredible but I'm often drawn to this, a slightly gentler, less abrasive work.
