Photographer Jessica Hines won an honorable mention in our global photography competition — and thus an opportunity to publish a photobook at Blurb.com. She took this as inspiration and teamed up with Elizabeth Avedon (the designer of many of Richard Avedon’s stunningly beautiful photography books, and his daughter-in-law) to publish this blockbuster of a book. It’s a remarkable photobook that conveys an important political message as well as the compelling story of a personal tragedy that confronts some difficult, universal truths. Brilliant combination of great photography, thoughtful text, and excellent book design. Highly recommended!
