The Floozie in the Jacuzzi image book finally published

Many years ago back in the mid 70's I started taking photos of the streets of Birmingham, first with a Zenith EM and later a Pentax ME Super.  I knew they might come in handy one day (NOT!).  Finally after 5 or 6 months of planning my collection of images of Birmingham has just been published. I thought it appropriate that the profits go to Helping Hands of Birmingham, a charity which helps the genuine homeless of our city.  It is A4 size with a 350 gsm gloss laminated cover and 40 high quality images on 170 gsm silk paper. Shots are of the city taken during day and night spanning from the Lucas Motorsports event in the mid 80’s right up to present day. The cost is £10 + £2.72 postage, all profits to Helping Hands (shameless spamming).

I'm only sad that a lot that I took back in the 70's weren't good enough to print and the negatives have long gone. I spent time in 2016 replicating those 1970's shots to show how things had changed.  They look almost acceptable on the scans, but printing was not possible to a good standard

Anyway, if you know anyone who might be interested in one of the books, I would be grateful for your support in letting them know ... as the more I can sell, the more  can be done for the genuine homeless of the city of Birmingham

Might be worth letting everyone know where they can get a copy, Jon. I assume it's direct from yourself, or have you got them on Amazon?

Go on, be a rascal and let us have a sneaky peak at a couple of images from within!

Thanks Korky, they are available from me directly, I send them out 2nd class signed for in reinforced envelopes, paypal is the best method for payment

Having sold nearly all of the 50 books I had printed, one of the local artist venues asked me to do a small exhibition and a book launch!  It's not until September at the Gunmakers Arms in Birmingham City, so it will be a fairly retrospective book launch
