Thanks for mentioning Darkrooms Magazine, Susanne. Seeing even more of your project is great. I am stunned by the choice of the cover. Couldn't think of a better fit for this project. Well done.

Beautiful story to tell and the shot you made for the cover is amazing. You made it a bit 3D without even thinking about it. Very beautiful!❤️❤️

Excellent. I tried to share as little as possible of the story, but you gotta have to write something.

Thanks so much for your order. Can’t wait to hear what you think!

I really like the idea. I am also triggered by abandoned houses but there's a sensation of longing on your work. I agree with others about the choice of the cover. Great work, Susanne :)

Very very cool. I’d love a copy. Anthologies are the best and zines are all parts fabulous!!

I created a zine recently on women, bikes and liberation as part of a women’s bike ride event that was cancelled due to weather. And so the zine sits in my hard drive with only one copy printed and stitched. I feel inspired to do something with it! Really fun to make. Thanks for the lift by sharing this project.

Thank you, Nichola! I have a couple of zines (handmade) I just made for myself. I think it is a great exercise and a lot of fun. Even if you are not selling it, you could always share it and write about your experience… PS: there are four zines left in case you would like a copy!

This looks really wonderful Susanne, and such an interesting idea for a project. I look forward to receiving my copy of the zine 🙂

what a wonderful project Susanne. I have ordered mine copy and can’t wait to experience something I can physically hold and spend time with it. While a computer screen and various platforms are great to be exposed to different photographers, I find a print belongs on the wall and a photo book should be held..This current work looks great! Thank you
