tree of codes

…as jonathan began to carve out his story, we started doing our production homework and literally got turned down by every printer we approached – their stock line being “the book you want to make just cannot be made”…

an amazing looking book by author ‘jonathan safran foer’, the cover design is by mister gray318 and the rest by the equally talented ‘sara de bondt’

to be honest, in general, i find his books difficult to read however beautifully they are always made, this one looks even more difficult than usual… but then deliberately so, i really look forward to getting my hands on this one… then not reading it, great stuff…

see also my previous (and related) post on a similar production involving a re-issued book from raymond queneau, tip via ‘maarten@VBAT’ many thanks…

update: there is also a microsite with more info and images

the isles

promo for the ‘little comets’ shot on a canon 5D and reinforcing all of the typical clichés about how ‘grim & urban’ the UK is, but it’s still home to me though…

pictures taken with a detached lens

i’d not heard of this technique before: free lensing

…take your DSLR in one hand. Unscrew the lens with the other. Tilt the lens away from the camera body-maybe even flip the optics backwards. And take photos that you never imagined you could without expensive upgrades…
