”Ariel Kessler, who I graduated with from The Massachusetts College of Art & Design, approached me (in the Summer of 2010) about making her series, Hour of lead, into a book. I was stoked from the get-go about doing this book with her. I was excited not only because I liked the project idea, but also because I thought the narrative book form would be well suited for it because the project is about a conversation through photographic images. A couple of months later, after a little mail, texting, email and Facebook chat exchange, here we have it. A sweet little handmade book with a sweet story.
The series itself is a dialogue created by Ariel, combining her own silver gelatin prints and her late father's Kodachrome color slides. Having just a little memory of him, she created this narrative of images not only to gain insight into his world, but to also show the effect of losing him.”
