I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink

We went on a field trip to the printing press with our editorial team, setting off at 1 in the morning to catch them working through the night to get all of the newspapers, magazines and comics out for the following morning. The space was immense: a huge warehouse full of vats of ink, huge rolls of paper, and rickety stairways. We saw the paper being rushed through vast machines and emerging as fully-formed publications, and watched the ink being applied to metal plates in cyan, magenta, yellow and black; I was amazed at how physical so much of the process still was, with any computers in sight looking as if they'd been there since the early 90s.

Neither warm nor cold

The words of his mouth were smoother than butter

The Mays is an anthology of writing and images by students at Cambridge and Oxford that's been running for years, so I submitted two pictures that I took at the end of last summer for this year's edition and they made it into the book. The book itself is a really nice object, and the spacing and ordering of the poetry and prose on each page seems to have been considered just as much as the layout of the images. I was excited to be published in an actual book, as well as for the garden party where drinks and strawberries were served at 11 in the morning.
