It took fifteen years for a photographer to build the book I hoped I would one day see. A photography book where the photography is a piece of the overall pie, but comes in a form made for the masses and not just for fellow snappers. I’ve been saying this for the past decade, photography is more powerful now as a small part of a larger story than trying to be the story itself. So much of the work I see being published is rushed work, built for the audience and not for the author.
