Two thick-paged sketchbooks from L Cornelissen & Son joined together.
Kept while on a Journey to India in 2006.

This book contains my first explorations into black and white portrait photography. It took me a long time to learn how to discern what I was after, and perhaps even longer to learn how to achieve it deliberately. I began to write short paragraphs describing the subjects. They created an unusual tension between text and image.
