Gorgeous! I want to see one in person, even though I probably can’t afford it.

Oh, and: the first of this edition has been spoken for, but there are three remaining. Send me an email if you want pricing info. Or I will consider trade for film, c-stands, camera gear, other photo farming equipment, plane tickets, etc etc.

Thanks, Manny.

I chose not to have any of the pictures face each other, so each has it’s own page. I did this b/c I wanted to let each picture have it’s own room to breathe and exist, so the viewer could approach them one at a time. But there was also the practical issue that I really wanted to use these albums and firstly, they are 50 pages, and I couldn’t afford to do a 100 print portfolio, and secondly, they have a heavy tissue between each page that would have ruined the diptych effect anyway.

You are right though: editing and layout is a huge part of this sort of work.

Graeme,

It looks fantastic.

Do any of the images face each other? I ask because this is always such a difficult aspect of making a sequence. Some times two photos are more than the sum of their parts, other times they distract from each other. I end up making selects just to complement a photo.

Thanks!
