It has come: Ethiopia Footsteps in Dust and Gold. The monumental photobook that I made together with Jos van Beurden. It has lasted long: an exercise in patience. Publishing houses in the USA and Ethiopia were enthusiastic. They promised a lot but made us wait. The book was finally not published by them, but by Stichting Kunstboek of our southern neighbors in Belgium. The long wait has also yielded something: an even stronger connection with the country, between the makers, and with the book. Extra travels with new photographs and information. We have kept working, spending much attention to the composition and design. And then at once the moment has come! And the book now is lying here in front of me and elsewhere in my home boxes filled with this wonderful product. We proudly present: Ethiopia Footsteps in Dust and Gold. It has been made in slow-motion, harmony and love.
I am super-proud!
