    My life is very exciting currently. Last week my new photo book was printed. After four years of work, finally I get closer to showing my photos to public.

    The whole project is fully financed by myself, all journeys, all models, book printing, etc. It's a huge investment and I am doing it, because this is what drives me.

    I spent the two printing days at the printing house. Huge printing machine and really amazing how this works. It's somewhat different from the printers you know from the office.

    You can watch a 80 seconds clip I made while the book was printed:

    Now, the sheets are at the bookbinders. They need around 6 weeks until they will be finished.

    And if you are interested in buying a copy, I am shipping world-wide: https://www.simonbolz.com/sublim…

    • My first job was for a newspaper, and many people here deal in Big Print, so perhaps our conception of printers is not as wee as you might assume...detritus
