my first book

i just finished the first run of my first book. 64 pages, 57 images. it's only about 4" x 5" in an edition of 22. what makes it not an instant classic selling for 600USD each is that entirely copy paper.

the idea is an old idea, i originally got it from t-bikedreams who did the same thing -- only he made a few hundred. i got one of the final ones it still sits on my book shelf. i just gave him one of the draft dummies.

i'm bringing it with me to paris as a promo item if i run up enough courage to talk with a publisher or gallery owner. i spent the entire month editing for a reasonable flow; printed a dozen images onto fiber based 8x10" paper.

then again paris may only be for wine and pastries.

t-bikedreams, though still hanging about icp, is said to be a very up and coming photographer of bicycle culture.
