Monocotyledon Photo Books For Sale

‘Monocotyledon’ was one of the first funny words I learned. 

This book is not so much about ‘monocotyledons’ but is dedicated to those wonderful childhood memories. 

It explores the different ways an idea can be etched photographically. 

It’s a play with simple historical and modern photographic techniques observing the temporality and permanence of the image. 

Just like memories some remain imprinted for ever whilst others simply fade over time.
