Botanical Photos in the book "Sarraceniaceae of North America"

Cover of the book

Redfern Natural History recently licensed a few of my Darlingtonia californica photographs for use in the book Sarraceniaceae of North America, including the cover photo. Redfern has used a few of my botanical photos in earlier works but this is the first time they have put one on the cover of one of their books.

Check it out on the Redfern Natural History website: Sarraceniaceae of North America by Stewart McPherson and Donald Schnell.

If you'd like to see more Darlingtonia images, I've put together a gallery of Darlingtonia californica photos made over the past few years.

Pictures from an Exhibition - "Macau: Work in Progress" Event Video

So this is a video not pictures and the event was a book launch not an exhibition but still, I think I can justify the title: The event did rather resemble an exhibition (with loads of printed photographs lining the walls) and this video is composed primarily of individual still photos sewn together...

On December 6th, David Hartung officially launched his book "Macau: Work in Progress" at the Macau Military Club. I've had the honor and privilege of hanging about Macau while David made many of the images in his book, which has made it all the more exciting to see the work printed in this monograph of sorts.

I'm terrible at socializing at this sort of social occasion so decided to make a time-lapse video of the book launch instead (it was that or drink all the wine). Three cameras, a couple bags of lenses, 20+ CF cards and 270GB of raw data, and here are the results:

Making of the Photo Book "Macau: Work in Progress"

David Hartung invited me to visit his printer for the first day printing his photo book "Macau: Work in Progress" last month in Hong Kong. I first came to Asia to work with David at Destination Macau magazine where he photographed most of the material for this book so I knew that the images would be interesting. What I didn't fully anticipate was how visually compelling the factory itself would be - for video.
