Back in early June, The Online Photographer, in conjunction with the Nelson Atkins Museum, ran another book sale. If you recall, a couple of months ago, I picked up a bit omnibus history-of-photography style book from a similar sale, so when this one went down, I jumped on it…
Forewarned is forearmed, the video is long…
Continue reading “Unboxing ToP’s Four Photobook Book Sale”These three, cute little books came from a Kickstarter the folks at Hoxton ran a couple of months ago. The goal of the project is to support the
hundreds of projects by great photographers that don’t make it into book form because the subject is not considered serious enough, or the photographer doesn’t have the funds, or heaven forbid, the work is not considered arty enough.
We want to change that.
I’m down to change that too, in whatever way I, as a collector (I guess) of photobooks can, so I jumped in and received 3 Collector’s Editions a couple of weeks ago…

Galaxy kickstartered this groovy little project planner back in November 2015 and it was successfully funded as of 1 December… Better late than never!
To their credit, they sent me a 10% off coupon for the 2017 version (this one has calendar pages through June 2017) and a 20% off coupon for anything in their store (which I can’t find at time of writing), and they did have a good-enough excuse (though they didn’t really need one: all we backers could do was complain), but it’s still 7 months late.

If it’s not Eid, it must be the last day of Ramadan (at time of writing, I don’t know yet, and won’t for awhile). And if it’s the last day of Ramadan, I need an action plan for the next 11 months, to try and make sure I don’t slip into the same hard hearted, selfish, snack food devouring person that I was when Ramadan began… Continue reading “Ramadan wrap up: what can I do?”
