Special announcement! Finally... a book is coming! For 15 years, throughout 16 countries, I have visually documented the ritual and festival of Carnival, focusing on traditional, folkloric, and community celebrations.
Now I’m proud to announce that prestigious photography book publisher GOST has selected my project We the Spirits for publication November 2023, in conjunction with a major exhibition in Ulm, Germany.
Here’s the thing: in the photo book world today, a publisher will not commit to a project without the funding in place. In this marketplace, artists are expected to bear a significant portion of the printing costs themselves.
Please help make this book a reality by pre-purchasing your copy (or copies), signed by me. I’m already at 32% of the goal with about 30 days to go!
It’s an incredible opportunity. The publisher will bring my work to the highest level, printing at the very best quality in Italy, and placing the book in international distribution, so you can get your book shipped locally (US / Europe / UK).
If you're inspired to contribute, there are other rewards available, including limited-edition prints, a portrait session, a live presentation of this work by me, and even a trip with me to Carnival 2024!
More details at the link. Please pre-purchase this book, share this email with a friend who may be interested, and become a part of the We the Spirits community today.
