It’s been six years since I wrapped up my BULLET project.

Over the years, I tried to get my book published. I talked to countless publishers, from boutique indie presses to major publishing houses, and bounced ideas off plenty of fellow photographers and friends. Everyone kept asking me to change something: cut the text, trim the photo count in half, split it up, or shrink the size, all to keep production costs down. Whatever their reasons were, one thing was clear to me from the start: for the sake of artistic integrity, BULLET has to stay whole. It simply couldn’t exist in any other form. It’s a work of art that I conceived, curated, and designed exactly as it is, and I see no good reason to compromise it, especially just to fit market demands.

Over the past year, I’ve been thinking about how to bring it to life, and I decided to self-fund and self-publish it. It will be available exclusively on my website, and I'll be handling everything myself.

And here’s the best part: I’m in no rush to sell 1000 copies or get it into bookstores. I don't have to recoup costs. My plan is to print just one copy a month and take my time selling it, giving the book the care and attention it deserves. BULLET is meant to be paged through and absorbed slowly; it wasn't made to be skimmed through quickly and forgotten on a shelf.

I don't care about the numbers.

I just want whoever flips through it to truly experience the content, little by little, and keep coming back to it.

I feel like now is the right time to launch the first print run and make it available to those who genuinely want it.

Talk soon,
