Preston Is My Paris - Routes 1.

'Routes 1'

Adam Murray

This is the first in a new 'Routes' series from PPP that features photography from small and large, town and cities explored using specific routes.

'Routes 1' began by plotting routes that I regularly take around Preston including my walk to work, trip to the park and the number 31 bus. These routes were then used to explore Paris.

Zineswap - Eric Van Der Weijde

Very Interesting. Check It Out.

Dutch artist Erik Van Der Weijde publishes small edition books and zines that are instantly recognizable through the careful craft and conceptual ideas inherent in each publication. Covering subjects as varied as modernist housing blocks to seemingly inconsequential trees, accidents to hand guns, each piece is imaginatively conceived within the inherent frame work of printed matter. Quite often underlying the visual beauty of the photographic project is the obscurity of a slightly darker and unexplained quality that is further concealed by the mundane subject matter. The intriguing power of Van Der Weijde’s work resides in this entwining amalgamation of the ordinary with the mysterious.

All of his printed matter can be viewed on the website www.4478ZINE.comwhich is dedicated to documenting, promoting and selling all of his publications.
