Rachael Talibart

In this episode of Biblioscapes In Discussion I am delighted to welcome back Rachael Talibart to discuss Tides and Tempests.

The rhythm of the tides, tethered to the waxing and waning of the moon, shapes our very sense of time. It also, literally, carves the wild edges of the land on which we live. If land is our realm, then the ocean is nibbling at our boundaries; its twice daily incursions sluice, whittle, sometimes even flail our habitat away. The tides make coastal photography exciting because the land changes dramatically every day, twice a day, and you can never be sure what the thing you photographed at low tide one day will look like the next, when the sea whisks up its sorcerer’s cloak once more, to reveal some new magic.

We also discussed a selection of Rachael’s favourite photobooks…

• Gathering Time… Simon Baxter

• Shoreline Book… David Southern

• American Geography… Matt Black

• sun, water, being… Bryant Austin

• The Day May Break… Nick Brandt
