Books

This is a book about discovering your ancestors through the images they leave behind. My grandpa died when I was very young, but I am lucky he had a passion for photography as I can learn about his life through his eyes via his pictures. He created thousands of slides covering both work and pleasure, even better it was all in Kodachrome.

This book gathers the best of his photography work, across hundreds of images as yet unseen to the world, we gain a glimpse into the world of post-war architecture, as well as what it was like to travel the world in the era before mass-tourism. Through high quality scans we can see through my grandfather’s eyes via the lens of Kodak’s Kodachrome.
