Future of photobook creation
I’m still in Japan stocking up on material for a few weeks worth of blogposts so things will remain slow at eyecurious for a few more days. In the meantime, check out the three-part Future of Photobooks Discussion that is being hosted on the Livebooks Resolve blog. I am moderating one of the 3 strands [...]

Review: Steven B. Smith, The Weather and a Place to Live
I wrote about Steven B Smith’s series, The Weather and a Place to Live, in passing recently, but I’ve now got my hands on a copy of the book, which won the Center for Documentary Studies / Honickman First Book Prize in Photography in 2005, and have had the chance to have a more in-depth look.
Some things I bought this year
I’ve seen quite a few end of year lists popping up over the last week. There are the best books of 2009 lists, the more eclectic lists of “stuff I liked this year“, the lists of books acquired in 2009 and many more. I think you need to be a breakfast-lunch-and-dinner kind of consumer of [...]

Review: Andrew Phelps, Not Niigata
As soon as I heard the name of Andrew Phelps’s latest book I was intrigued. Niigata is not the most obvious prefecture in Japan for a foreign photographer to choose as a photographic subject (Tokyo’s magnetic pull certainly doesn’t seem to be weakening). I was all the more interested as Niigata is an area of some [...]

Some more fuel on the photo-book fire
The debate about the future of photo-books is not exactly new, but it’s not dying down either. I’m not sure where this particular strand of the debate started, but in recent days Jörg posted a few provocative thoughts over at Conscientious, which are feeding into a “crowd-sourced” blog post that has been set up by [...]

bookshop M
One of the discoveries that I made at Paris Photo this year was the Japanese bookseller, bookshop M, situated right at the entrance of the fair. There is so much work to see on the walls that I sometimes find it difficult to find the time to spend with all of the books that are on [...]

Louis Porter: One Hundred Flowers
One of the nice discoveries I made during Paris Photo was a fellow blogger’s foray into publications. Laurence Vecten who blogs at LOZ has just published her first photo-book of Australian photographer Louis Porter’s series One hundred flowers. Porter photographed the floral displays that were brought in to beautify Beijing in the run-up to the [...]
The Aftermath Project
I recently received a copy of War is Only Half the Story, Volume II, a publication by The Aftermath Project run by the photographer Sara Terry. The Aftermath Project is a non-profit organization that aims to tell “the other half of the story of conflict” through [...]

Review: From Back Home (book and exhibition)
“The land between Klarälven River and the chestnut tree at Ekallén is full of little hard memories of sad and lonely times, but there is also a streak of warm confidence that runs all the way up to Älgsjövallen, a place of fairy tales and inquisitive moose.”
Anders Petersen
From Back Home is a collaboration between two [...]
