„I think of a photograph as a receiver of sensations. Sensations are intangible. I try to organise them through the act of photography.“ Tom Wood (via wayneford)

Done
Done with stitching! Today I brought the booklets back to the printer for trimming, next the bookbinder will join the two parts so there will be 100 copies of „Pelikan“. I have to pay the bookbinder by the hour so I cannot yet announce a final price. When I return from Texas on December 21 everything should be ready to be signed, numbered and shipped, so stay tuned.
Stitching
Sore fingers this weekend – hand stitching 200 booklets for my upcoming „Pelikan“ publication. I am doing roughly 20 copies per hour, about 60 left to go.
Folding
Folding tonight … in the picture it doesn’t appear to be such a lot but it took me almost three hours (with some much needed breaks to stretch my back).
4 more pictures from Japan
I am busy with the final stages of the production of my upcoming „Pelikan“-booklet and also with preparing for our travel to Texas next week, so I am not making much progress with the edit of my pictures from Japan. Still don’t really have a grasp on this work, but here a four images that I like.
Final test
Assembling some test copies of my upcoming self-published „Pelikan“-booklet – didn’t expect stitching 250 gsm paper to be that hard!
Preparing for winter

„To me it is no mystery that we can only photograph effectively what we are truly interested in or – maybe more importantly – are grappling with. Often unconsciously. Otherwise the photographs are merely about an idea or a concept – that stuff eventually falls flat for me – there must be something more, some emotional hook for it to really work for me“.
