SDA2 Volume II. (Patreon)

When we were putting together the latest issue of Nodal Points,  we sorted through a few dozen images from photographer Robin Ryan for her feature article; I can't really say what criteria I used when choosing which ones made the final layout, but for every image I used there were three more that I had to cut for space.

While I'm happy with what we used, it just didn't sit right with me that the rest of the photos - scanned from the original negatives and slides taken in the 1970s - were just going to be filed away in my archives never seeing the light of day. 

So last year I put together the second volume of our Archive Editions series -a shared archival project designed to decentralize rare ephemera with the hopes of it surviving past any single owner. 

You can purchase a copy here: Sacred Debris Archives Edition II - Robin Ryan. 

About the book:

Presented with the goal of ensuring that these one of a kind snapshots outlive a single collector, SDAE2 continues our series of "shared archival" book projects.
