Booking Good - Motion/Stillness

Well, my copy of Motion/Stillness arrived some time ago, and I've been meaning to write about it ever since.

Sadly, it arrived just in time for my mother to see it before she died. I'm glad she managed to see it, but, well, there you have the reason I haven't written about it before now.

I'm really impressed - the paper is lovely (I sprang for the premium paper, and it's well worth it), and the pictures reproduced very well. Like most of my work, it's subtle, but I think the themes come through clearly.



I recommend it, but then I'm biased. Why not check it out for yourself?

Motion/Stillness by Arwen O'Connor

Booked!

Well, one thing about not having an official job, I have time to finish some of the projects I've had lurking in the back of my head. It's nice to have a bit more space in there!

This is one of them - my first photo book.

Motion/Stillness by Arwen O'Connor

What do I say about it? It's photography-based, of course, and based on my (brief) time in Japan last year. As the lovely Xole pointed out, my work there focused on the contrast between movement and stillness - hence the title. It's a pretty book, I think - but then I'm biased.

Motion/Stillness is for sale on Blurb right now; or if you prefer a signed copy, I have two extra books arriving soon - comment or email if you'd like one of those, but get in quick!

Books everywhere.

The thing is, we should have enough shelf space for them all. But between the three of us (mainly M and I, I admit), they spill onto all available surfaces; even the minitramp.
