Ah, the smell of ink in the morning...!

Snaps from a recent print job. Not 'nice' pictures as such, but there's nice pictures in the pictures, if you get what I mean...!

Steve,
Must be fun to follow a book being born. Do you do only the printing part or are you involved in layout design as well as the binding?
I assume that you also get a chance to meet the photographer.

Hi Haim,

Yeah, I did (and do) the design and layout and often, as in this case, the majority of the production required - so the hi-res scanning and retouching of the images for instance...

Yes, the on-press bit is enjoyable and nice to see things finally come into existence after what sometimes can be a very long journey, although it can often be a stressy week as well - in this case I was still designing the cover and a limited special edition on the laptop whilst the pages were on press ! - that wall is actually holding me up as I hadn't slept for about 36 hours !

I'm actually a photojournalist myself (well, not so much these days!) so I've been fortunate to mostly work with friends and colleagues from the business, a couple of which have been my photographic heroes, so has been a real honour in a few cases....It becomes an intense working relationship - these things are often like giving birth for the photographer concerned, seriously !

So, right now, I'm having a bit of chill time and don't want to see or hear about another photography book, ever again....!!

Best, Steve

Steve,

Here is a recent photography book of Chicago by Michael Wolf which I like a lot. His work, in large and small scales, was exhibited at Columbia College which helped sponsor the book.

The end of a day

Grossmünster

"Red rain is coming down" took this last night!

Haim - Thanks for the link.

Interesting work. I knew some of his Hong Kong work, but had never seen the Chicago work...I like it myself too - I agree with the statement in the text, it really is Bladrunner - Rear Window ! I originally studied and practised for a while in Architecture, so along with the editorial aspect to the images I naturally relate to the architectural aspect - especially Chicago !

His special editions look nice also - always a nice thing to do. Although many publishers are cutting back in their general portfolio, with thought many are still (and increasing) special editions - they often fund the standard print run !

Thanks again, Steve.

Should be in Owners Pix, but I cannot find it!

A Bee and A Bug. Taken in my garden this afternoon.

Ruby Falls, Chattanooga, TN. Taken with a Sony compact DSC-W1. I prefer the picture as it is, on its side.

Taken just over a week ago in Crete on the way to the Samarian Gorge.

Dear Julian,

My similar one was ruined by camera shake!

Thanks for posting!
