A Weekend of Photobooks in San Francisco incl a Photobook Club Meetup

This past weekend saw Gallery Carte Blanche in San Francisco team up with Darius Himes and Larissa Leclair of the Indie Photobook Library to create a great event for photobook and photography enthusiasts.

A Photobook Club Meetup in San Fran

Alongside workshops and talks was a Photobook Club meeting that took place on Saturday along with a panel event on photobooks. There is a great write up of the event and specifically the panel discussion written by Michael Silva on his blog here. You can also see a heap of images form the opening, discussion, meetup and more by heading to the Gallery Carte Blanche Facebook page or to the Indie Photobook Library’s gallery for the event – fill yer boots!
