Several of my books will be included in The Third Annual Zine & Self-Published PhotoBook Fair, hosted by The Camera Club of New York, organized by Lindsey Castillo, Rebecca O’Keefe, and Grant Willing . This art book fair strives to promulgate new and recent artist publications and to highlight contemporary photography in its printed form.

795 – Whitman, Marilyn and the Police Dogs 795 are the number of copies printed of Leaves of Grass on May 15, 1855 by Walt Whitman. He paid for and did much of the typesetting for the first edition himself. The book did not include the author’s name. Sales on the book were few but Whitman was not discouraged. Softcover, 9 x 6 inches, b&w, 100 pages. 2012
