RESURRECT DEAD ON PLANET JUPiTER

Buy This Book

I won’t bother trying to credit everyone involved, because I’d leave someone out and it would somehow get back to me and I’d get yelled at for leaving someone out, but basically:

Three years ago a bunch of artists, an ethnographer, some organizing forces and a lot of money went into Nicetown, Kensington, El Norte de Filadelfia and Strawberry Mansion. Three years later, they’ve left behind a bunch of murals and collected a lot of stories.

Those stories were put together with accompanying portrait photography by my old colleague from UPenn, Sabina Pierce. All of that was and into a book which was released today.

For me, the most exciting thing about all of this is my own mural photography, which is scattered throughout the pages of the book. From a piece of the cover and 2-page spreads, to the tiny bits that help build the visual narrative, my photos are there, with credit. While my work for the book was more utility than creative, it’s still neat to see it in there.

At only $15, the book is a steal. Order here.
