Hi
I took the plunge and published my first book. It is so much easier nowadays and does not require a lot of investment, except time of course.
Street Stripes is a collection of images of road markings in Bacup (a small Lancashire town, where I live) and Amsterdam. It looks better than it sounds, honest!
After many days of rain the weather had temporarily cleared and I had to get out of the house. I did not have any preconceived ideas or plans about what to shoot. To my surprise, and delight, I found my subject within a few yards of the back door. Trying to observe my environment afresh I also looked down, at what was under my feet, and there they were: lines. The multitude of lines painted on the road, curves created by the curb stones, lines created by different kinds of tarmac, shapes created by the drying of the surface. After that first shot I knew that there was a good series of pictures to be made.
The Preview option allows you to the first 10 pages or so. What do you think of the design? The images? Thanks for looking.
