This is the deluxe coffee table edition. It contains over 40 Holga 120 S photographs and 10 Zero 2000 pinhole photographs. All pictures have been taken by the author and developed at home. The popular trend in the photographic press and industry is to declare the death of film photography. Unless the photographer uses digital their work is not worth the time of day. Starting out as a set of frank discussions between colleagues over wine and steak during a trying winter, this book looks at the options that are open to the artistic photographer and why film is still a viable option for many photographers who don't want to be left behind in the race to go digital. The Death of Photography uses photographs from the plastic Holga Toy Camera and the Zero 2000 pinhole camera to demonstrate what can be achieved using film, home processing and low tech cameras.

While traveling abroad it can be difficult to break away from the packaged view of the country presented by the mainstream tour companies. This is due to a number of factors but is mainly an illusion of danger propagated by the package tour companies to line their own pockets further. Tunisia is one of the safest Arab nations in the world, as far as the foreign traveler is concerned, with an extremely low crime rate. The foreign tourist can break away from the guides and travel away from the herd using local transport such as taxis, buses and trains. The pictures shown in this book represent what I found when I broke away from the official guides and the mainstream tourist destinations to get a feel for the real Tunisian people and their country.
