"In Bothos Werkstatt"
Still lifes and portraits made in the art conservator workshop; a peculiar place full of history, craft and emotion at the crossroad of time lines where old objects meet modern techniques.
70 black and white photographs mainly made with the large format camera. .
This is Version 7 of the book and it is the last and ultimate one. I don´t think there will be another one.
I am very satisfied with this. At least the colour is what I wanted to have without any cast or any default. Lucky me. I just hope for the following prints to reach this quality.
A last caveat, this is a german version. It doesn´t matter anyway since I reduced the text to a minimum: the introduction and the last page, plus some information about the art pieces here and there.
I set the price to the minimum and I recommend the hardcover version this time. You can find it at blurb.

Allow two weeks for delivery to Europe. A last note for my german friends: let me know if you are interested, perhaps could we buy a bulk and spare on taxes.
Fine prints on traditional silver gelatine baryt paper are available on demand.
This was an ad.

Though I would say that the book improved with the new Version [V7].
Here is the fine print: More images but also more room between the images. A better sequencing. I got rid of these silly titles and there are no titles at all. Someone said to me: let your reader free to imagine what he/she wants to. I also supressed some redundant images and add a few unpublished ones. I got a better control of my colour profiles. I rescan the feathers, because for this image, the image detail is at the pixel level, even for a 24MB tiff and doing so I managed to suppress this noisy moiré.
Well, the one page introduction text is in german.
