BRAVO 20

Kudos from RP

I was happily surprised to see that the Capitals book was reviewed in this month's Réponses Photo (August). It's featured alongside Koudelka's "Invasion Prague 68" and Alec Soth's third edition of his celebrated "Sleeping by the Mississipi". It's astonishing that alongside these luminaries, RP's Jean-Christophe Béchet gives my little booklet very high marks indeed: 5/5 for quality of printing, 5/5 for layout and 5/5 for value for money! "Personal note" has been scored a 4 out of 5 but I'm not sure what it means. 

JCB is very generous in his assessment: "... a surprising little square book in a nice slipcase ... a lightning trip full of poetry and softness. 27 capitals, 27 pictures, 27 euro! A nice idea ..." I am suprised, though, that he doesn't recognise the signature of a swing-lens camera. Probably it's the quality of the printing and scans that lured him into the false idea that these are XPan pictures. 

Wow, needless to say I am very happy with this review.
