50 PLUS...
It's always a pleasure to see photographers in Wales overseeing production of their own photobooks.
One recent title is 50 PLUS... by David Collyer, co-designed by the photographer and Simon Robinson, and published through Robinson's Wirral-based Fistful of Books.
Originated as a project concept by the photographer when his 50th birthday was fast approaching, the book is described as...
"A look at men over the age of fifty, exploring how different we are from our fathers’ generation. Still bearing the hallmarks of youthful rebellion and tribal fashion.
These were the hippies, the mods and the punks that once elicited social concern and tuts of indignation from their elders". – Fistful of Books site

Keen to learn more on his approach to selecting the men featured, making the photographs, and producing the book, I asked David if he would take the time to record a conversation with me for Offline Journal. You can listen to the audio below.
