Summary:
The Rural Studio Bonus Album, another touristic type postcard style that
normally could have been bought in the 1950′s and 60′s. This is a
booklet, where there are 10 cards stapled in a book. The normal sized
card is on the right hand side of the book, and next to the large image is
the same image sideways and small with a perforation dividing the two.
One can rip out the normal sized card, and use it.. save the “stubb”
(small sideways image) for one’s personal memory of one’s trip.. and write
on the back who you wrote the postcard to.
The contents of this postcard set is 10 images, plus 10 small images.
They are all photographs of Auburn University’s Rural Studio program,based in Newbern Alabama (where Cynthia went to school in 2002/03). There is a detailed description of the site including designers and builders,along with cryptic directions.

The Indie Photobook Library is TWO!

This past weekend, the Indie Photobook Library celebrated its 2nd Anniversary. Thank you to all the photographers/artists/bookmakers that have made the collection what it is today! I’d also like to thank Advisory Board members Darius Himes, Andy Adams, Shane Lavalette, and Gabe Reed and all the venues that have welcomed the iPL. In the last two years, the collection has grown to almost 1000 books. The iPL continues to promote and showcase the books in the collection through international pop-up and feature-length exhibitions, articles, conferences, guest lectures, and also preserves them as a non-circulating public library. Having a specific collection dedicated to this contemporary movement in publishing allows for the development of future discourse on trends in self-publishing, the ability to reflect on and compare books in the collection, and for scholarly research to be conducted years, decades, and centuries to come. I am looking forward to continuing the iPL mission.

Cheers,
Larissa Leclair
