Alexandra Catiere’s Behind the Glass is more of an event, than a book. It’s not something to casually flip through. In fact, you can’t casually flip through it, or if you do, you’ll miss half of the images and all of the story. It’s one of the more unique book designs I’ve seen.

Rosalind Fox Solomon – ‘Liberty Theater’
Rosalind Fox Solomon is one of my favorite photographers. Her ability to move between various communities, her access to people from all manner of backgrounds, and her ability to get open, honest expressions and gestures is incredible. I have two of her previous books with Mack, THEM (2014) and Got to Go (2016), so when I heard […]
Todd Hido – ‘Homing In’
Homing In is Todd Hido’s second B-Sides Box Set, featuring outtakes (and some also-rans) from his “file labelled Orphans & Misfits,” all printed on baseball card-sized cardstock and housed in an archival box.
Todd Hido – ‘Bright Black World’
Bright Black World is Todd Hido’s response to Climate Change and the creeping blackness in our social and political landscape.

Konica SRG-3200 – one roll “review”
Konica hasn’t made film (or branded it) in a decade. The 100′ of Konica Pro 160 I shot through a couple of years ago expired in 2009, and from what I’ve gathered, they stopped producing SRG-3200 a decade before that. There was no date on the single roll of 120 that came in an Ollie’s […]
Ed Templeton – “Loose Shingles”
“Loose Shingles” is a B-Sides Box Set of outtakes, alternate takes, and other otherwise unpublished images from Ed Templeton’s archive. The B-Sides Box Sets are interesting things, sort of a cross between a portfolio of prints and a box of baseball cards. I’ve lumped them in to my “Photobook” category, but they’re really not books […]
Ed Templeton – “Hairdos of Defiance”
Back in High School, and for some time thereafter, off and on, I sported a sort of abbreviated version of Liberty Spikes, colored in a shade of purply-red called “Bodacious Burgundy.” The effect was somewhat subtle, alternating between preppy and mildly punk, just enough to get occasional looks of curiosity or disdain, but not enough […]
