Books; Chris Killip Here Comes everybody.

Here comes everybody by Chris Killip

I bought this book last year after reading a review in the gaurdian here. The book was shot in Ireland and ranges from the Arran Islands, the west of Ireland to Dublin. I like the format, its very like a photo album one would find in somebody's house. The photos really invoke a sense of place. They are very atmospheric. From stone walls on the Arran Islands to the mists of Croagh Patrick, the rain, light shimmering on the Atlantic Ocean, the shop fronts on Tory Island and kids diving into the sea at the Forty foot in Dublin they all make me want to go home and go on a long tour, even a pilgrimage with a camera.

Its published by Thames and Hudson and the ISBN number is ISBN 979-0-500-54365-8.
