About the Book
A SHORT BOOK OF PERSONAL REFLECTIONS inspired by family photographs from the 1950s and 1960s — on time and place, home, other cultures, wonder, nature, memory.
A sense of place is essential. I had many. When I grew up I moved more than ten times, living in different homes in England and New Zealand. Sometimes we would be in a place for only a few weeks. Four months of my youth was spent at sea, five weeks each crossing, as we sailed the Atlantic and the Pacific.
Only a few years ago I discovered sixty boxes with Kodak transparencies that my father had made — hundreds of photographs recording our travels, and my life growing up in New Zealand and Europe. The images I found, most of which I had never seen, were like dots in my personal history. Forty years on, I begin to try and connect some of them. The lines meet in twenty-one small stories.
[Note: This is the softcover edition of WHERE THE BLUE OF DISTANCE BECOMES VISIBLE. A hardcover version is also available from the Blurb online bookstore: http://www.blurb.com/my/book/detail/806445]
