A
Rockland Fall, A Chronicle of Digital Photography
Fantastic Realities Studio
Photobook, December 2007, 30 Full
color pages, Casewrap Hardbound Edition.
A very personal project from Kurt E. Griffith
and Fantastic Realities Studio.
From the introduction:
“ ...
I found myself being enthralled with the changing season
this year. And from early October to December, I found I had
something of a chronicle of the Fall. For the first time since
coming to Rockland county from Brooklyn in 2001, I truly observed
the changing season. There was a part of me telling me to take
a step back from a stressful personal and professional season
and take in more deeply the world around me...”

Kurt E. Griffith. Nanuet, December 2007.
Self-Published Photobook entirely produced and created by me,
begining with my own digital photography. What
started as almost an ADD-influenced, “ooooh, shiny” moment,
led into a meditation against the slings and
arrows of both outrageous and day-to-day fortune, which became
a body of work that was possibly worth sharing.
The images were captured with a Canon Powershot S100 Digital
Elph, a rather modest and relatively ancient 2 megapixel
camera by current standards
Images were processed in Adobe Photoshop CS2. Image processing was
done with a light hand, only color correction was applied with
some minimal sharpening and despeckleing.
The book was laid out and produced in Adobe InDesign CS2,
a truly superior page layout tool that allowed
me to very swiftly and professionally prepare this material.
The publishing site Lulu.com provided print and publishing services.
