4th Annual Book Fair: Philadelphia

This month is crazy, not only for the weather, but for all the news arriving to the studio about our photozines. This time, “Natureza, Luz, Homem” from Carlos Cancela was selected to participate at the 4th Annual Book Fair in Philadelphia.

The Indie Photobook Library, in charge of this selection says: Selected from the permanent collection of the Indie Photobook Library by MICA photo students Emily Mason, Cameron Vaughan, and Brandon Eddy, these photobooks focus on zines, the curated group photobook, a look into interior mundane life, and the altered image.

New "feel" to the website

We made some changes to the website, for better, we hope. The big news is the introduction of a close up of Ludolf Backhuysen painting "Schiffe in Gefahr vor einer felsigen Küste" (something like: Dutch Ships in Distress off a Rocky Coast  from 1661 (1667(?)). The original painting is on the National Gallery of Art in Washington and you can read more things about Ludolf here.
There is another nice picture on the Rijks Museum, and you can have a look here.
