I had an opportunity to drop into Santa Monica on Saturday and partake a brief visit of PhotoLA, making some connections with publishers, galleriest and meet up with some photobook photographers, including Raymond Meeks, Susan Burnstine, Hiroshi Watanabe and an opportunity to meet Stu Levy as well as Kirk Pedersen who was also representing his new publishing house, Zero+ Publishing, located here in Southern California.
Suffice to say, two hours was not enough time to see everything carefully. Bummer, but at least I made it again this year. I did a quick cruise through D.A.P. and Nazraeli Press, where I met up with Stu Levy, whose recent photobook published by Nazraeli Press appears very interesting. I did notice that Markus Schaden and his Koln bookshop was missing this year, a sad lose to this event, as he usually provides a broad international photobook flair.
I am now looking forward to spending some time with Kirk Pedersen’s two books, both of which are large hardcover books and dense with content, which I will share more about later this year.
Final note, PhotoLA provided a photobook discussion on Friday which I was unable to attend, so if anyone was present and would like to leave a comment to this post with some thoughts about this event, I would appreciate it very much.
