David Rathbone

In this episode of Biblioscapes In Discussion I am joined by David Rathbone to discuss his work and his recent book Big Water.

 
 
 
 

Growing up in Virginia Beach, Virginia, the Eastern Shore would show up like a mirage on the north horizon line across the Chesapeake Bay. Some days it was visible, others it was gone. A world away from the Navy bases and industrial shipyards of Virginia Beach and the greater Hampton Roads area, the distance seemed much greater than the 17 miles of water that separate the two areas.

 
 
 
 

We also discussed a selection of David’s favourite photobooks from his own bookshelf…

  • New Zealand Landscapes… Andris Apse

  • European Fields: The Landscape of Lower League Football… Hans van der Meer

  • Photographs… Rodney Smith

  • Architecture of Silence: Cistercian Abbeys of France… David Heald

  • Night Walk… Michael Kenna

You can see more of David’s work on his website and find him on Instagram.
