Fieryeyed Books

I was so pleased to wake up this morning to read that photographer Jenifer Altman is now a small, independent publisher of fine art books, Fieryeyed Books. Congratulations to Jen and all of her fans. The debut title features her exquisite photography and is called, “Little Italy” based on her travels. Just look at its pages, doesn’t it make you want to pack your bags and escape? And furthermore, doesn’t the word escape sound so very exciting on Monday morning? :) Well for just a few moments here, along with me, we can run away to Jen’s world and see what she sees. Bon voyage!

Little Italy

I love the words on Jenifer’s website… I feel exactly the same way.

“We believe in books. We believe in paper. We believe in film. We believe in the tangible. We believe in the design of the voyage. We believe in the world-altering power that is art. We believe in the alchemy of the photograph. We believe the image is as potent as the words. We believe the right book can change someone’s life. Forever.”

Amen to that, sister! And included with her photographs and inspiring words are a few delicious recipes to give the reader a chance to really take it all it – a trip to Italy wouldn’t be the same without something wonderful to eat now would it?

    I came across Jen’s work last week on a rainy Sunday in London and discovering her gorgeous portraits of children contributing to a happy relaxing day where I pottered around the house, fixing things dear to my heart…

    Yesterday was equally very relaxing….my 4 year-old is becoming a much better cook than I am :-)
