Remix PDF

iPad screen grabs of Remix. Photo from Byron Wolfe's Everyday.

I recently asked some publishers if I could use screen grabs of their digital photobooks in a slideshow. The idea was to make a remix edit, placing the books in new and different contexts beside each other. Creative editing for me, and a way to promote some digital books. Instead of making a slideshow I decided that making a PDF was better. Look at your own pace or as a slideshow. It's also the way I edit/showcase some of my own projects.

Thanks to the publishers/artists who agreed. Titles included:

Shameless self-promotion - my PDF books

From top to bottom "Garden", "Walks", "Pontiac Street View" and "Trash In Grass".

This blog isn't supposed to be about my own work at all, but as I've made a couple of PDF books I might as well tell about them. 

In 2011 I created the first PDF book called "Garden". It was a small series and a PDF was a playful way of presenting them. The PDF's has become a way to edit, structure and make sense of the photos I shoot, and also a way to present them in a different context than on the website or in book form. 

They are very basic and are in no way meant to be compared to some of the other carefully crafted apps and ebooks presented on this blog.

So far there are four books:

Garden, 2011 (updated 2012)

Trash In Grass, 2011

Walks, 2012

Pontiac Street View, 2012

They are optimized for the iPad with iBooks and are avalilable for free download here.
