Phil Underdown: Trapper’s Lament
April 4th, 2011
Phil Underdown, a photographer from Upstate New York (who was my curator’s choice for last years’ Hey, Hot Shot! competition, and who also received an Honorable Mention at the 2010 Photography Book Now competition), just sent me some photographs of his dummy for the series Trapper’s Lament. He made the book using MagCloud (HP Indigo press print-on-demand technology) to print the signatures, and then bound them by hand in a fairly straight forward binding, using inkjet canvas on the hardcover. It is a brilliant use of old and new technologies to self-publish. Bravo, Phil!
