Trying to Find the Ocean at Indie Photobook Library

Trying to Find the Ocean now resides in the extensive collection at Indie Photobook Library in Washington D.C.. IPL’s website offers thorough information on a diverse array of independently published photobooks, while also touring their collection to venues nationally, making the books tangible to the public at large. I’m happy to be in their mix.

“Trying to Find the Ocean” available at Les Recontres Arles Photographie

Thanks so much to all those who purchased my book in the first month of its release. There will be 20 signed copies available in Arles, France next week at Les Recontres d’Arles photography exposition. Sincere gratitude goes to L’Ascenseur Végétal book store for featuring Trying to Find the Ocean at their table. I wish I could be there. What a festival!
