This Is Nowhere | Jeremy Koreski | Tofino, British Columbia (CAN) | By Lee Fleming

"The concept for This is Nowhere is actually the inverse of what the title might suggest. Places like the B.C. coast—remote, lightly populated and mostly roadless—have often been treated as 'nowhere' areas that don’t have much value beyond the resources can be taken out of them. But in reality, this is a place that’s full of life, has an amazing culture and history, and is absolutely priceless to protect. For myself, my family and many others here, this place is everything. So to me, this book is about deconstructing the idea of nowhere and demonstrating that places like this have a value that goes far beyond money." — Jeremy Koreski

We're glad to see Jeremy Koreski's recent Kickstarter for his photography project 'This Is Nowhere' was successfully funded. Due to go to print in August 2015, This Is Nowhere is a hardcover book of surf, outdoor and nature photos from the British Columbia coast. Born and raised in Tofino, a small town on the West Coast of Canada where Jeremy's father worked as a fisherman and oyster farmer meant he has been able to photograph one of the last unspoiled coasts in the world.

Jeremy's photography career spans over fifteen years having worked with international clients including Patagonia, Stussy, Ransom Holding Co., Adidas and National Geographic. The publication is as personal as it gets for Jeremy, featuring his favourite photographs from the British Columbia coast he explains "I’ve hoped to publish a collection of my work for a long time, but I didn’t want to put anything out unless it was something I was truly proud of".

Designed by Chris Allen, the 11” x 11” clothbound hardcover includes 144 pages and 100-plus photographs, printed on FSC-certified paper at Hemlock Printers in Burnaby, B.C., a carbon-neutral company whose portfolio includes Kinfolk Magazine and The Great Discontent. The book is divided into five sections: Air, Water, Earth, Fire and The Unknown and features introductions written by people Jeremy's learnt from and worked with over the years: my dad, Patrick Koreski, along with Noah Cohen, Keith Malloy and Malcolm Johnson. Furthermore, the foreword is written by Dr. Chris Darimont, Science Director of Raincoast Conservation Foundation and professor at the University of Victoria.

Kennedy Magazine | Issue Three | Athens (GRE) | By Lee Fleming

Yesterday saw the launch of Kennedy Magazine's latest issue at London's Tender Books on Cecil Court. A Biannual Journal of Curiosities, Advert free Kennedy Magazine was co-founded by Athens-based photographer Chris Kontos and graphic designer Angelo Pandelidis because the duo wanted to create "a journal about the people and places we love”.

Featured content includes Lawrence Weiner, Gary Panter, Chris Olberding of Gitman Vintage, Several;, Our Legacy, Nozaki, Jonathan Brown of Leadapron plus.

Easily recognisable by its striking British racing green, the magazine's aesthetic is overseen by David McFarline and Christopher Moorby of London-based Commission Studio. Kennedy magazine's charm goes beyond its consistent simplicity and good design, but more so its order of content which is both respectful and gives the title a modest sense of rhythm.

Foster Huntington | Home Is Where You Park It | (US) | By Lee Fleming

One of the most recent publications to be added to the IDMC° bookcase is Home Is Where You Park It, a photographic exploration from photographer and nomad Foster Huntington. After the first 2000 copies sold out immediately and proved immensely popular, Huntington released a much anticipated second edition of his photo series.

In 2011, Foster Huntington left his dream job designing for Ralph Lauren, packed up and drove out of New York City in a VW Vanagon in order to travel around North America. With eighty thousand miles on his camper, Huntington lives a self-contained and spontaneous life, covered in detail on his popular daily blog A Restless Transplant, a journal that documents fellow travellers and their campers of all shapes and sizes.

Under the #vanlife hashtag, Huntington uploads his shots to Instagram and gives a personal insight into the campers, people and stories that inspire him on a daily basis. Before long #vanlife grew into a photography project, funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign, that highlights his favourite camper vans, pickup trucks and the unpredictable delights of life. Designed by New York-based Doubleday & Cartwright, who are also responsible for the Victory Journal, Home Is Where You Park It is a 125-page photography book dedicated to life on the road, steeped in the ‘keep on Trucking’ nostalgia of the 1970s.
