Gabrielle McKone is a Wellington street photographer and she has put together in an appealing small hard-cover volume selected photographs from her daily visual diary from the past five years.
McKone told The Bookman that wherever she happens to be she takes her camera with her to capture whatever takes her fancy on any particular day. She then uploads it to her website at the end of the day. This book contains images from Wellington, Coromandel and some from Europe. The result is both appealing and charming.
Catch My Eye has been designed by Wellington designer Donna Cross and offset print and bound by Printlink in Wellington. The book has an rrp of $45 and is being sold by Unity Books in both Wellington and Auckland and various other indie booksellers.
First edition of 500 copies.
