CITYLAB - PHOTOGRAPHY 2012
I was fortunate to have been included in this fine body of work put together by Citylab and to select my own favourite images for inclusion.
"We asked some of our curators, artists, friends and collaborators to choose their favorites from 2012. The selection was hard, the photographs in this edition are true gems, unique moments, compositions and stories that deserve to last."
