Recent acquisitions

- Trying to keep up with the general trend

The wind of photobooks, photomagazines and most of all self-publishing is blowing strong, we all know that. It is hard to resist, and every time a parcel knocks at my door hiding a treasure I feel happy as a child, eager to feel the consistency and the smell of the paper. I also want to thank all those who gave me the fruits of their labour as a gift, as there is hardly such a special thing as receiving a book from the hands of those who worked hard to make it real. Sometimes I receive one as a thank you for something I have written, for having tried to promote it maybe, and I always feel a disproportion in that, which inevitably makes me accept it with an embarrassed smile, often after having made some clumsy attempts to pay for it anyway.

Following is a list of titles I recently put my hands on, and more will come soon.

In my opinion, one should send you a photobook for every interesting post you write on your blog.

I haven't published mine but maybe one day...

Ciao e grazie.
