Description: Grusväg' (gravel road) is not a book about gravel roads, but about it on the side. About what is revealed during a walk, in the movement forward. About what is behind the crest, which can not be foreseen in advance. The idea for the book emerged during a daily walk along a gravel road with the family dog Frasse. It was in June 2019. Throughout the summer, we followed new road sections, mainly in Västergötland, but in the following years also in Bohuslän, Småland and Skåne.00Jan writes:0"I got the inspiration from some early photos taken with a borrowed Rolleiflex. Bright, light, and with a long grayscale. They were made in my first darkroom ? in Grandma?s attic. The year must have been 1971. The magnifier was a Uniprint with a simple glass holder. The Leonar paper. Soft as velvet. Silver rich.0I wanted to relive that feeling."
Notes: Chiefly illustrated.
