So I finished off the photobook for my body of work “It’s Allright Around Here, Isn’t It?”
Yes you read that right, after all this time (ahem……I wrote the intro to the book in July 2022) and seven different drafts, as well as numerous changes to the sequencing and cutting down of the images to feature, I have finally got around to getting the book done and I’ve self published it. If you’ve been following my work for a while then you may know what this is about but if not the general gist is that this body of work was featured in the Ffocws exhibition at Ffotogallery last year and although I had made a small print run zine a few years ago I thought maybe the series deserved a bit more of a substantial publication.
So here it is, the book is A5 square format with an introduction by Photographer David Mayne and contains 66 photograph's from the series as well as coming with a photo postcard signed by me. I’ve limited the print run to an edition of 100 and will post anywhere in the world for free.
"I want others to be able to see what I see; A record of this World in which we live but that which is influenced by magical realism. Everyday places and situations that can have things about them that appear both normal and abnormal, where memories flow like living organisms, surviving within the cracks of bricks and paving. It’s this desire to document the ordinary that has ultimately shown me that it is both important to capture what we see not just because it can be taken away in the blink of an eye but because there is a certain beauty in banality."
