It's nice when someone comes to buy a book at work & instead of my automatic retail robot I actually learn something, or have an insightful conversation about the pros & cons of say... Douglas Coupland. On Saturday a man came in wanting to order the new Edwin Smith book & unfortunately I couldn't get hold of it for him, but I cursed myself for having not heard of Smith sooner, especially (embarrassingly) not only having studied photography for two years but also done one project focusing solely on architecture photography. Working in large format, his compositions are very much those of the larger scale & I can't imagine how fantastic it would be to see them life size rather than screen size... (images from Google)
Can I also say hello to Sarah (I think that's the right person, Sarah of Dischohecho if it wasn't you, please let me know!) who I met today in Berkley Square on my lunch break who professed to be a reader of this blog. She was intriguingly taking photos of berries & I was disappointingly dressed for the shit weather & lugging heavy boxes around a humid shop... Oh well. It's nice to remember (most) people on the internet are real & lovely.
Mondays, Mondays
these are pretty cool, i especially love the first one i imagine it would be incredible on a larger scale!
ReplyDeletealso i sent you an email about contributing to your zine but knowing me i probably sent it to the wrong address!
Yes, sorry! That's was me and I meant to leave a comment saying so but completely forgot.
ReplyDeleteI hope I wasn't too weird at you, I probably didn't make much sense in my sleep-deprived state!
Nice to meet you though :)
Sarah
