a brief departure from the typical posts here...

while i try not to include my personal work in subtilitas, readers may have noticed content has been a little sparse here lately, largely due to a few large projects wrapping up. one of which is a book i’ve been involved with through the cactus store, which was just released this week.

xerophile is a compendium of desert plant and habitat photography three years in the making. a selection of over five hundred photographs of arguably the rarest and most bizarre plants on earth, photographed in their remote natural habitats over the past 80 years by a global cadre of obsessed cactus aficionados made up of both the amateur and the professional—from phd. botanist to banker, art teacher to cancer researcher. aside from the field photography, we’ve also included several interviews with the explorer's themselves, who’s stories only add to the mystique of their images. 

posts should begin to be more regular next week. thanks as always for reading.

The Strange Wonders of the Cactus, the Plant of Our Times

By Carolyn Kormann

“ But perhaps it’s fitting that cactuses and succulents are today’s botanical vogue. They represent what people crave and aspire to, as climate change advances and democratic institutions retreat: they can survive the harshest weather and the bleakest landscapes. They are both irreverent and dignified. They are strong and resilient, and will endure for centuries, even millennia. “
