I know Jason Eskenazi's "Wonderland" project has popped up in discussion a few times here on RFF, and those of you that own the book know what a treasure it is. Jason is well on his way with his follow-up project, entitled "The Black Garden". Now, I don't necessarily believe in crowd-funding in its current state, but I do believe in Eskenazi as a photographer who works outside of the box and delivers amazing photography. Check it out, even if it's just to watch the video.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Also I agree with the above poster, the "mock-up" book with his choice of pictures for the kickstarter project so far looks very promising.
I have nothing but the highest respect for Eskenazi.
(And make sure to check out the "gift" for pledging 30 dollars: that has got to be a first on kickstarter....)

Greetings, Ljós

What exactly 'The Black Garden' means? Apart from the fact that it 'sounds' deep and brooding and cool...
 
a read of de Waal's book of similar title and the words of Eskkenazi himself (follow the link) might hint at the project title origins.
 
That was inspiring, I was ready to buy Wonderland but he's not shipping until September. Hmmm maybe Title Nation instead?

I discovered him and Wonderland by fluke when I was browsing Lightstalkers, and bought Wonderland on faith more or less (that the chat wasn't just his friends pushing the book). It's an outstanding book.
