Heading home over the sea after a successful 10 days on the road making work & a family road trip.
The photos are always in 4 different places.
Camera card, MacBook, an external drive and when connected online also.
After 3000 miles of driving and 30 miles of walking, I’m a little bit worn out :)

A few more tea toned Cyanotypes that I made a while back - the beginnings of a new project that was put on hold but I’m hoping to start again soon.

As with every stage of the book design process, it’s all about conversation and collaboration. Marc and I chose a dark grey Brillianta cloth that contrasts and complements the Swiss-bound cover shades and the case lining—tones that echo those found in Marc’s work.
Details are very important to the design and construction of a photobook.
For The Edge of Ruin and the Swiss binding cloth, myself and designer @wayneford.co.uk chose a Wicotex Brillianta cloth from Winter & Company, whom have been making materials since 1892.

For me it's all about collaboration in photobook making and self publishing
Marc and I liked the Materica sheet so much, we used two further shades in the books production. Pitch for the case lining. And Ardesia for the Swiss-binding cover.
Like many of my books, the locations in The Edge of Ruin are researched in detail for the book.
