Wakaba Noda: Making a Map
Tuesday, March 25, 2008Farewell Books has just released their fifth publication: Making a Map by Japanese photographer Wakaba Noda. As they describe the project,
Trying to create a perfect place by assembling photographs of small wonders, Noda makes a map of a world not defined by geography, but by the possibilities that photography offers.

I was happy to find that the design of the publication is very simple and well considered, pairing photographs to great effect.
