My book is now available for purchase!
The book, "the lawn was like a hay field", is a limited, first-edition, hand-made photography book recalling my life growing up in a small town in New Hampshire.
Each copy of this hand-crafted book has been designed and hand-sewn by me. All of the book's 72 pages of my photographs and writings are archival ink-jet-printed, so the images in the book are actually high-quality photographic prints; the images are not reproductions.
Currently available as a limited first-edition of 18, each book has been numbered and can be signed by the artist.
This project has been a long time in the making. It began about a year ago with selecting old photographs from my archive, making new ones in the town, writing my recollections, designing the layout of the book, studying how to make the books, practicing, sourcing tools, and the materials for the books themselves. Even launching the online-store has been an adventure.
