I'm learning more and more that photography can be a beautifully mindful practice, and it doesn't just end with making and then post-processing the photograph...
Great read Keith. A slowed down pace and mentality infuses everything once you get going, as you relate here. Looking back on my drift into retirement, I too slowed down but, again like you, upped my engagement with people and processes that supported me. The benefits to me and to my work have been considerable. And so pleased my tutorial guide inspired you to make some stab bound books. I’m going to look at accordion zines now! Keep it up 👍
Wow, so much to learn :) I didn't know the word leporello (though I might use it a lot now!) and I didn't know the work of Ulrich Wust. But now I do. Thanks, Jon, and glad you like them. I too am not completely satisfied with my leporellos but like everything they're a work in progress and I'm sure I'll get there. Wust's look amazing.....

Those books look beautifully crafted. I particularly love the leporello format, although I’ve yet to make a successful one myself. Do you know the photographs of Ulrich Wüst? https://www.collectionregard-english.com/exhibitions-in-the-collection-regard-2/archive-5/ulrich-wüst-berlin-leporellos/
