Day 10 – The Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, 2014

December 10, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

Today on the Grand Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar (the original photobook themed, internet based, advent calendar), Jim takes us through a book we saw in dummy form sometime ago and have been excited about ever since. It’s Alexandra Lethbridge’s ‘The Meteorite Hunter’… A lot of photo projects attempt to look for something different in the everyday, it seems like a common theme, but not many explore it in such a fascinating and well executed manner as Ally Lethbridge’s ‘The Meteorite Hunter’, […]

Day 8 – The Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, 2014

December 8, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

Way back in March 2014, Jon Tonks came over from out West to give a talk for us in Brighton about Empire – a huge, ranging project that took book form in an imprint from Dewi Lewis. Jim Stephenson picked it out as one of his favourites… From 2007 onwards Jon Tonks travelled over 60,00 miles around the Atlantic Ocean to visit some of the most remote remaining outposts of the British Empire, spending at least a month on Ascension Island, […]

Day 7 – The Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, 2014

December 7, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

It’s the end of the first week of the Advent Calendar and so far we’ve seen, coming out from behind the doors, some great photobooks that have been highlights for our team this year. Today, Joe Conway chooses a publisher, rather than a single book, in Cafe Royal Books. I first encountered Café Royal after treating myself to one of their books during a series of talks at the Cheltenham Literature festival in 2013. The publication was made up of images from a […]

Day 6 – The Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, 2014

December 6, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

Another day and the Grand Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar rolls on with our regular writer Alexander Norton taking us through Paul Graham’s ‘Does Yellow Run Forever’… The colour yellow has a host of connotations. These are not obvious by any means. Yellow cooperates with gold and gold implies a kind of value. So when considering the question ‘Does Yellow Run Forever?’ we are posed an incredibly in depth answer in return. Paul Graham’s practice has always made us work for the meaning and […]

Day 5 – The Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, 2014

December 5, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

Another day and the Grand Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar rolls on with Jim Stephenson choosing a long-time favourite he finally picked up in book form at Offprint in November. Joachim Schmid’s ‘X Marks the Spot’… Joachim Schmid has been self-publishing before everyone was self-publishing, initially himself and then subsequently through print-on-demand services. Since the early 80’s he’s published somewhere between 100 and 150 books. Or at least a number higher than we had time to count. A lot. A lot of […]

Day 4 – The Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, 2014

December 4, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

Day 4 of the Gran Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar and one of our guest writers, Alex Norton takes us through one of his pick’s from earlier this year. Sam Laughlin’s ‘Frameworks’ from The Velvet Cell… The structures we use to house ourselves have been formed for centuries. We cannot survive without a structure, for what? To place our things in, rest our heads or prevent us from getting wet. A space we live in is undeniably important and can dominate and […]

Day 3 – The Miniclick Photobook Advent Calendar, 2014

December 3, 2014 by Jim Stephenson

Day 3 of our Grand Photobook Advent Calendar and Nicoletta Barbata takes us through one of her favourite book’s of the year… When I think about Photographs Rendered in Play-Doh I think of a great tiny book which well represents what photography is about and what we love about photography at Miniclick. Photography should arouse curiosity, should whet your appetite to know more. It can be communicate in hundreds of different ways. If it’s done with a sense of fun, then […]

Christoph Soeder’s “Clear Cut” is just that. A topographical study of men getting their haircuts in a small barbers in Newport South Wales. image courtesy of A Fine Beginning We were first made aware of Christoph’s book during a visit to Brighton he made with Newport University to talk to a number of practitioners (including Jim and Jack from Miniclick) about their work. This project really stuck in our minds and the book just adds to it even more. The […]
