You can get an education in photography by watching Paul Auster's 'SMOKE'.
That's why I've quoted some of the dialogue in my preface to SMALL TOWN INERTIA Vol 2
“You’ll never get it… if you don’t slow down my friend.”

#smalltowninertia2 I wish photographers valued their life experience as much as manufacturers of their tools.

All repect & love to Chris & to his loved ones.
Chris, your work & the work you made with EXIT had a huge impact upon my life.
You showed me what a photobook could be, something more than a stutus symbol or a coffee table book. Something deeper, something that cuts a line through time.
