photo-eye | BLOG: Book of the Week: Selected by Blake Andrews

Harry Culy’s debut photobook puts this hypothesis to the test. Mirror City collects Culy’s b/w photographs shot upon his return to Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington), after ten years away.

He’d formed a sense of what it was to be a resident. He’d even made photographs of the city.
