New Book(s)! - Haphazard Anthropology

[SimonSawSunlight]

I finally got around to putting together a new book. And because it turned out kind of big and rather expensive, I thought I'd add a smaller, reduced "pocket" version (64 frames instead of ~100 in the "big" version). They are both a little more sophisticated and imo "richer" than my previous try "reciprocities": I now have photos on every page, not just one per double page, and they are supposed to "work" together on one or another level. It is subdivided in four geographical (not chronological) chapters: berlin, léman (lake geneva area), london and vancouver. Those who bought the recoprocities book might find that I used 4 or 5 pictures again as they just made sense in the sets they're in, but there's also quite a few frames in there that I have never shown to anyone before.

If any of you should decide to support me by buying one or two, my profit is about 10-12€ per copy sold and I promise to spend it all on my photography.

(the previews show the complete book, both come in "matt premium" paper, which I find to be nicer than the glossy one).

thanks for having a look.

I frankly like the 'in short' version more
Good job,Simon.

Really nice work Simon. I agree with your thoughts of it being more sophisticated, I think the whole thing holds together really well as book. I prefer the longer version and will order a copy shortly

Cheers Chris

I liked them both, and I liked the London sections the most.

Simon, what a great selection you've done. It's overflowing with material, internal correspondences, and intellectual pleasure.

It looks like something that has to be seen in print, and needs to be explored multiple times to be deciphered.

Sometimes you seem to put all your cards on the table, sometimes you slide into a more cryptical zone - that's where your work shines.

Everyone here on RFF should have a look!
