Summary: In 2008, the New York Athletic Club Rugby Team won the coveted Rugby Super League Championship.

During this historic season, Daniel D’Ottavio followed the team’s home games at Travers Island, photographing the action on the field and on the sidelines with only a handheld medium format camera.

The result is no ordinary sports photography. If you seek out rugby photography, you will find many images that depict the game as we – the spectators, the outsiders – see it. Instead, Daniel’s images show us the game as the players see and experience it.

The limited edition book presents 34 tritone images printed on uncoated paper, and bound in a printed cloth drop-spine hardcover with screen printed spine detail.

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
