Colin Pantall's Book Is So Great



Did I get the first copy to land in the states? Maybe...
m
Colin Pantall's book "Sofa Portraits" arrived directly from Bath, England last week.
What comes to mind when leafing thru it? Oh...lots of things.
m
Handmade, hand stitched...my wife was charmed by the book qualities and how intimate of an object it was. Me...I didn't care about the book construction, it was the images that spoke to me.
m
Seeing the project collected like this, you really get taken into the inner life of this child, the spectrum of emotions and the thoughts within her head.
m
Watching these emotions is like watching a cloud darken and then erupt with rain: the changes are subtle and imperceptable, but at the end it all hits you...and in a big way.
m
If you want to learn the secrets of these images, the book is how you get them... and get to revisit them. See it HERE. Buy it HERE.
