An Extra Long December
This month for Choosing & Losing a seed planted in my mind during December that drove the direction of the themes and content of the issue.
That seed was the song ‘A Long December’ by the Counting Crows.
You can read more about how and why that manifested in the zine but for now I wanted to publish some of the images that were not used.
The process of putting it together led me to digging out some old photographs as well as producing new work, all restricted by the need to stay local during the current pandemic situation.
Some of these are unedited and little rough around the edges but will hopefully give you an insight into the selection process combined with some of the words that inspired these selections.
Is it bin day?
Cycles of life
The world spins
Volcanoes erupt
Earth is formed
Rivers flow
Earth is eroded

I love these John – great change in tone and style from the first zine. In particular I like the purple/lilac-y cloud explosion/formation. Reminds me of Trent Parke’s latest work – which is called The Crimson Line, just released in December, but it’s clear you obvs beat him to it as that shot is from your travels I suspect, so actually, he reminds me of you!!! But less of him anyway….looking forward to the next instalment!
