High Winds / Low Lands

8-page Zine Print, ed. of 10 · Ottawa


Words

High Winds, Low Lands is a film-photo zine made from the saddle of a bicycle in the Netherlands.

The Netherlands is a country built around the bicycle, so I shot it from one.

From that vantage point, the land lives up to its name: it's low, flat, and endlessly worked over by wind off the North Sea.

The images below are a few I kept for the zine.

Shot on 35mm, Kodak Gold 200.
