Zine 1: The Wedding Present

hand/stone double exposure
Inspired by the zines of Dishwasher Pete, I have always aspired to have own zine about work. I have written stories, sketched illustrations and taken countless pictures for my zine, but never bothered to assemble it. Until now.

The first zine is a web version of a photo album I made as a wedding present for Fred and Wolff. It documents one of the first projects I worked on with TUSI, building a drylaid retaining wall alongside a driveway during a very harsh winter. The photo album is much longer and full of corny jokes, most of which have been tastefully removed.

This double-exposure hand image was the TUSI web banner for a long time, and inspired our existing banner.
