Books

by Aaron Springer  

Hello, my name is Aaron, and I am a bibliophile. I inherited my love of books from my parents. If I am not wandering through bookstores, reading on the train, or sleeping, then chances are I am making books. I combine art, poetry, and graphic design with various bookbinding techniques to create one-of-a-kind or imited edition objects. This gallery contains a few samples.

Snapshots is a random collection of photographs contained on Aaron Springer’s computer on Mother’s Day, May 14, 2006.

The photographs exemplify a diverse range of subject matter: from aerials looking out the window of a Seattle bound airplane to an abstract floral composition shot through the bathroom window of a New York diner; from Aaron’s beloved Canadian Rockies to American Southwest deserts; from self-portraits to images of family and friends.

The collection offers a glimpse of how the photographer sees his world—raw, gritty, sublime.

This book was composed on a Mac and printed on an Epson with archival inks and paper.
