Together with Paul Kranzler, I traveled to the small remote town of Green Bank, WV and spent several weeks with astrophysicists, bear hunters and electromagnetic hypersensitives to tell the story of this place called "The Quiet Zone". Our book, THE DRAKE EQUATION ,  published by Fountain Books Berlin , is available as a Special Edition with the choice…

Im excited to dust the blog off after several months to share my newest book Cubic Feet/Sec.  Documenting 34 years in the Grand Canyon. CFS will be released in April in the Fotohof edition and as always in the past it will be available in pre-order with a special edition print.          …

This is the most comprehensive collection to date of Bert Danckaerts ongoing series of found-urban/still-life/stages. (See Simple Present Beijing). Though maybe not immediately apparent, Berts work draws simultaneously on the history of color-field painting, mass culture, globalization, the ready-made object and documentary photography. Seems like a-lot to cram into one sentence, especially when the work…

I was surprised to see I haven't posted about this book yet, its almost embarrassing. BRUT is not only beautiful and the special editions well worth the money, Paul is one of my best friends. Paul is not afraid of getting up-close and personal, its just that usually he is up-close and personal to others;…

I got to hang out with Birgitta and most of the POC crew last week in Normandy and along with lots of poker and big meals, we pushed alot of interesting projects back and forth across the table. AND Birgitta signed the books and prints for the edition we just did together. The Garden is…

Just in time for the holidays, we just made a new Special Edition book/print with Birgitta Lund and her latest book The Garden.  The book has just been listed by the Wall Street Journal as a hot tip for the holidays, so this one with a print can only be better!

Julia Borissova sent me her book which is getting a lot of attention lately ie. here, and here, and can be seen at several festivals this year such as Le Bal (too late), or Kassel (coming up in October) as it has been, rightfully so, nominated for the Fotobook Festival, 2013. It is a combination of…

Jet lagged, it seems fitting that I pick up my copy of Lena Grass' book Nachtigall (trans: Nightingail). Made in cities all around europe, these are random, beautiful images of surrealistic, fleeting moments and events certainly made by the somnambulist, wandering with one eye wide open and the other still sleeping, kind of how I…

This is number 1 of hopefully many more publications and projects by the LAB guys and gals. Last summer I got invited to the absolutely beautiful area of Italy near Polignano,  in cooperation with the Foundazione Maria Rossi Onlus. The LAB group has started a series called "Southern Photography" as a platform to document the…

Meaning "troop" in greek, Petros Efstathiadis' new series Lohos is a reaction to the troubles and trials in modern day Greece, specifically those of the middle class finding themselves in the role of protester and, in some eyes, terrorists. This is a post-card leporello from the small publishing imprint of Ghost, a Portuguese publisher run…

sorry, cant find the key combo to get my spanish "enye" in place in Ari(n)o... I am a couple days late, which isn't anything new lately as the Buffet has been so quiet, but I have had this book on my table for awhile and I know there was a signing in Arles on last…

Anyone have a copy of this book that they would want to swap or sell? Thanks, Andrew

In case you miss the big yellow arrow, I just want to share a new link on the BUFFET. My personal collection of books and special edition books has been depleted long ago, therefor the massive slowing down of the posts. BUT, what I have learned is that a-lot of people read the Buffet who…

I have been trying to keep away from my computer more and more, the results can been seen in the Buffet posts becoming less frequent... One person who would understand is Doug. Doug lives an isolated life in San Jose Bay, BC, Canada. The Dutch photographer Karianne Bueno has begun an intensive story about Doug…

Birgitta Lund, the danish photographer who spends her time between NY and Copenhagen just sent me her beautiful new book "The Garden". The images are made in the famous old amusement park Tivoli Gardens in the center of Copenhagen. This is by no means a documentary work about Tivoli or its history. In fact the…

With summer approaching, but snow still on the ground outside my window, this "One Swimming Pool" from Elisabeth Tonnard is at least a step in the right direction. "This book is a portable swimming pool that can be put on a bookshelf. It is based on Ed Ruscha’s book Nine Swimming Pools and a Broken Glass from which…

The first one, "Diary of a Field Worker" was also a small print run of 100 and is out of stock. Where "Diary of a Field Worker" is a more conceptual design in its mimicking of a photo-album with the images mounted…

This is the newest artist book from Matej Sitar. It is a beautifully produced box set of 3 individual books which trace his road trip through America. It is an exercise in seeing and editing as each book attempts to tell the story of the trip but each in it's own edit sequence. Several images,…
