Alternative Funding Strategy: Trans Siberia, 2005-6

To raise money so I could attend the Trans Siberian conference I was invited to join in 2005, I sold photos I had not yet taken via ebay.co.uk. I pledged to take two photo a day - one at 10am, the other at 4pm for the 10 day duration of the journey with my analogue camera. When I returned to the UK I sent single-edition, signed, rubber-stamped prints to the buyers along with a contact sheet and list of titles.

The series has since been turned into a limited edition set of 21 postcards, one copy of which is in the Franklin Furnace / MoMA Artist Book collection and has been included in an exhibition of 46 Artist Books currently on show in the library at Pratt, Brooklyn, and also online.
