Book of the Week: A Pick by Colin Pantall

We Make the Path by Walking by Paul Gaffney

This week's Book of the Week selection come from writer and photographer Colin Pantall who picked We Make the Path by Walking self published by Paul Gaffney.

"This is a book of quiet landscapes but they emerge from a more complex place; Gaffney's relationship with the land, with photography and with himself.

"The title is perfect. It's a book of paths made by walking. In this case the walking is by Gaffney's feet and is both meditative and obsessive. He walked over 3,500 kilometers to make the pictures in the book, which ends up being a mapping of the land he walked upon, the mindset he walked with and, because mapping is such an integral part of photography, a social history of photography." -- Colin Pantall
