Summary: 4am and 15 degrees. pitch black.
crawl into ice covered coveralls.
no one talks. heads ache.
grass, frozen, cracks underfoot.
ignition, take off, headlights, cold breath, stale engine heat.
pines trees in a pine tree farm.
a soft needle bed. cold breath.
try not to sweat. get close.
don’t sweat don’t move. don’t sweat don’t move. nod off.
there is a moment. a moment.
and another one. the pines sway.
eyes peel. snow flakes touch the ground.
covered. cold.
light breaks silver streaks. you wait.
then it sounds.
the first shot.

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
Founder, Indie Photobook Library
