The Indian Photobook

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

Though I haven’t quite left the country yet, I’m mired in the daily life of rural Tamil Nadu and probably won’t find the opportunity to photograph it. So let’s not waste any time, I posted the India photos. Most of it is from travel I did in April, and February.

They’re fun and, along with my older photos, give a good indication of how the aging process is coming along.

Mirror Box

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

I proudly announce the completion of my fifth title, which goes by the title “Mirror Box”.

I’d truly like to give a synopsis of the book, some tiny inkling of its subject, a person or placing in time, but whenever I’m asked, I can’t pin down an answer I’m happy with. So, here is:

The Menu

The Mirror Box Welcome Page

Mirror Box Sample Pages

My usual handiwork is visible in the text, maybe it can fixed in the printout. I am pleased with the welcome page though. The graphic is quite spooky.

Details: The book took me seven weeks to write, and the work was done entirely in Auroville, India. Its 199 pages long (for some reason I couldn’t squeak out the extra page). The book is humorous, but contains elements of horror and spiritual linguistics.

More news to come, but I think another book is enough for now.
