I’ve been a book person most of my life. I love books. Even whilst I was completing my Photography Degree I was working part-time in a book shop (in Muswell Hill), and afterwards, when I was struggling to get started as a Photographer, I was sidetracked, and spent 15 years working as a Bookseller, in … [Read more…]
