Francesco Saverio Colella – ‘Foto Casti’
I picked up Francesco Saverio Colella’s ‘Foto Casti‘ to sort of fill out the shopping cart on publisher Skinnerboox website when I bought Paolo Zerbini’s Tagada. I was a bit intrigued by the premise, and the price was right…
Paolo Zerbini – ‘Tagada’
Tagada collects Paolo Zerbini’s photographs of various carnivals and fairs in rural Italy, made on film in the 2010s.

Glen Luchford – ‘Roseland’
tl;dr: I regret purchasing Glen Luchford’s Roseland. This feeling is a first for me, I think. The photography would be interesting and potentially of historical interest, but it’s entirely ruined by very poor layout and printing decisions. If you want to continue on, please feel free…. If they come out with a repaired edition—perhaps one …
