This is about this tradition in Japan where women dive to hunt abalones (women and men seems not to be equal for cold under water)
Preparing to dive,

"The bird week"
We have a few photobooks of birds, so we’ve decided to do a bird week.
Of course we’ve already had bird books in the past…
- Ricardo Casés, Paolma al aire
- Rinko Kawauchi, Murmuration
and I’m sure there was a few other ones.
If you want to suggest us a bird photobook, let us know ! ( lvecten(at)gmail )
Enjoy your bird week !!!

Malick Sidibé, Chemises
Published 2008 by Gwinzegal & Steidl, bought during Offprint
This book had a special mention at the Paris Photo book prize. I think it’s quite impressive. I like the fact that they kept the spirit of the old files, with the old-fashioned hand writing.
And Sidibé’s work is great : warm, happy, sensitive.
