"Where I went, what I saw" - my new Blurb book

[nksyoon]

I've just published a new book through Blurb - "Where I went, what I saw" - a collection of pictures taken during my travels over the past 5 years in places such as Istanbul, Cuba, Sicily, West Cork, Nicosia, Berlin and Cairo.

On the Blurb book preview page click on "FULLSCREEN" to get a larger view.

strng work Nick, you clearly have a keen eye for color, composition. lighting, and a certain intimacy.

Nick: beautiful work. The color, comp, framing is very well done.

Thanks for sharing.

Nick: I'm speechless. What a rich, well-seen, well-executed set of pictures! It embodies so much of what I hope for in my own work: part National Geographic, part Salgado, part Cartier-Bresson. I ordered your book immediately, because I find it is tremendously helpful to have a sign post pointing the road ahead to where I hope to wind up. Congratulations, and here's to your next project.

[Edit: just looked at the Blurb page again. Let me add: part Harry Callahan. Your use of color is supurb.]

wow, those are wonderful. the yellow-wall pix in cuba are particularly awesome.

Nick is doing what we all should do - print, frame, and self publish (even if just for ourselves) our photos.

These days of "online galleries", while handy, great, and useful, lack the tactile nature that a "real" photograph has...

Good Job Nick 🙂 Nice work 🙂

Cheers,
Dave

Excellent work!

Great work, and I agree with dcsang. We don't publish/print enough of our photos, you can't compare something on a computer screen to a nice print. I recently bought a bulk pack of 4x6 photo paper (300 sheets) and have been making a point of printing an image a day.

I rarely have anyone say "oh bring your computer so we can look at your photos" but when you have a book or even a stack of photos on the table, everyone can't resist picking them up and perusing.

Very nice, I like it a lot. Some images I actually recognize, too.

Fantastic book! Good job.

This being a rangefinder forum and the gear geek is in most of us, what gear did you use? 😀

 

[ishpop]

Nice work Nik, love the Cuba set particularly.

 

[HoodedOne]

Amazing piece of work Nik.
I really like the last image (piramide) A really original way to show something we all recognize in a instant.
