Experiments & Outcomes: A Year on Film
Each book ships with a hand stitched and folded, 26 page booklet. A photo index and behind the scenes guide about film, cameras and lenses, light and exposure, the labs and scanners I used, the design process for the book and print process.

I drove 12,000
miles across the
Western US &
Canada. 

A trip to Hawaii, a flight to San Diego, winter in Eastern Oregon, summer in Arizona – exploring, discovering new places and taking pictures.

It was a year of deliberate practice, making mistakes and correcting them. Finding old cameras, learning how to use them or first, how to fix them.

Finally I learned about bookmaking — binding, printers, paper and ink. This book is the conclusion of many experiments.
