Our FIRST Photobook Mini Fair was such a success! Thank you so much to all who came and engaged in the interviews, bought books, and simply enjoyed the day!
(first image credit to Laura Wexler, taken from her point of view while speaking😀) If you want to re-watch or missed an interview, they will be posted on our website soon!
Nadine Nelson's Harvest Mandala event was such a moving moment. It started with amazing food, and ended with everyone sprinkling the labyrinth pathway with wild flower seeds that will sprout in the spring! Need a minute of reflection? Come on over- you are invited to walk the stone labyrinth in our back yard. 🕊️
***ARE YOU or someone you know creating a photobook soon? Let us know! We are thinking of making this annual!***
