Artist Feature #125
With Work From: Sam Gulliver & James Parker
SO is going to be at the ICP Photobook Fest May 8-10th, so if you’re in NYC come out and see us, I’d love to meet you in person! We’ll have some special fair exclusive goodies if you’re looking to buy some books, and Sam Gulliver and James Parker will be here today doing signings from 12-7 p.m.
Since I know most of you aren’t in NYC though, I wanted to make one of our special offers for Photobook Fest available for everyone! Through Sunday, if you buy 3 books you get a print of your choice of one of my images. If you buy 5 books you get the whole 3 print set. Just mention the print you want in the order notes at checkout.
Sam Gulliver – From his Three Rings series – @_sam_gulliver_ – samgulliver.com
Three Rings is Sam Gulliver’s documentary project focusing on three dirt racetracks in Western Michigan during the 2023 season. This work is available as a 100 page hardcover monograph, measuring 7.75 x 9.25″ and featuring 97 plates and a spot glossed cover.
James Parker – From his Up Here I Am Weightless series – @jamesparker_– james-parker.com
Up Here I Am Weightless is James Parker’s typological exploration of the stillness and light of the morning and evening sky. This work is available as a 76 page hardcover Swiss bound monograph, measuring 5.75 x 9.25″ and featuring 68 plates and a spot glossed cover. A visual reflection on solitude and tranquility, the book invites you to find weightlessness in the simple act of observing the atmosphere and aircraft it contains.

The photo with the three black smoke clouds really stands out to me. It's just one of those bizarrely interesting scenes that makes you wonder.
Nice work all the way around. I hope to make it to the ICP on Sunday.
