Happy Birthday, Tim Carpenter, PDA founder. We miss you everyday!

First printing of 'To Photograph Is to Learn How to Die: An Essay with Digressions' by @timcarpenter sold out immediately. Happy to announce that this 4.25 x 7 inch, 288 page book-length essay about photography’s unique ability to ease the ache of human mortality is Back in Stock. Thanks, @the.ice.plant⁠ ⁠ Alec Soth @littlebrownmushroom writes: I don't know anybody who believes in photography more than Tim Carpenter. His book-length essay draws widely from literature, music, and philosophy, but it's in service of his passionate sermon on photographs and their ability to elevate our experience of the world.⁠ ⁠ Drawing on the writings of Wallace Stevens, Marilynne Robinson and other poets, artists, musicians and thinkers, Carpenter argues passionately—in one main essay and a series of lively digressions—that photography is unique among the arts in its capacity for easing the fundamental ache of our mortality; for managing the breach that separates the self from all that is not the self; for enriching one’s sense of freedom and personhood; and for cultivating meaning in an otherwise meaningless reality.⁠ ⁠ Printed in three colors that reflect the various “voices” of the book, the text design follows several channels of thought, inviting various approaches to reading.⁠ ⁠ Read. more via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ #timcarpenter #timcarpenterbook #photobookjousting #photographersphotographer #tophotographistolearnhowtodie https://www.instagram.com/p/CpVcwJ_O1A2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
