Utterly Lazy and Inattentive: Martin Parr in Words and Pictures
Martin Parr & Wendy Jones

Martin Parr was one of the best-known documentary photographers of his generation. His passion for Photography had no boundaries, as it became evident in his own practice. But just as impressive as his immense photographic legacy and his very public persona is the work done behind the scenes.

Utterly Lazy and Inttentive: Martin Parrr in Words and Pictures is the definitive account of Martin’s life and a record of our changing world, a world that he documented relentlessly since childhood.

'It was a way for me to understand my progress as a photographer: to see what has changed, and what has stayed the same, both in my work and in the world. It has allowed me to see how everything is connected’ - Martin Parr

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Channel, Issue 13

This zine always resonates with me as it deals with climate and care. This particular issue I like as it hits on environmental social issues and speaks to an area where I grew up. There is multiple poems and stories in this issue that makes me feel nostalgic, longing for my younger days but also remind me of harder times for friends and residents in my area.

Channel also features poems and stories written in Irish as someone who is trying to go back and learn Irish now as an adult it is a great way to keep it interesting. The front cover of the issue is also by socially engaged artist Aaron Sunderland Carey from his exhibition Nach Cuma? Who Cares? which was about how environment shapes a person. I think the cover is very fitting for this issue. - Sarah

KIDS BOOK
L is for Look

Dedicated to the history of the children’s photobook, L is for Look brings together more than a hundred albums published in different countries. From its emergence—marked by the development in the 1930s of new teaching methods based on images rather than text—through to the present day, the children’s photobook has been invested in the realistic nature of photography.

Covering all the different categories of children’s literature, from ABC books to reinterpretations of traditional fairy tales, it accompanies the child in their process of development and emancipation and stimulates their creativity, all with a common goal in mind: to question and nurture their view of the world.
