Welcome to our 11th issue •
Happy Valentine’s month, and here are some of the books we love.
We have another diverse photobook edition for your enjoyment. We welcome Lodoe-Laura Haines-Wangda as a guest contributor who reviewed Zora Murff’s photobook, which was selected as the winner of the Independently Published category for the Lucie Foundation Photo Book Awards. Reviews include books from Bil Zelman, Cristiano Volk, Glen Wexler, Charalampos Kydonakis, Ben Brody, Ian Howorth, and Magda Biernat.
Many of our magazine’s team attended photo l.a. event this year and we provide a very broad overview of this Los Angeles photographic event, with a photobook spin, of course. Finally, the interview of photographer and book designer Caleb Cain Marcus is both intriguing and thought provoking.
Cheers & Enjoy
