I have finally done a book on my Childhood Narrative images – thanks to a push from college – i am really excited about it :)
I would like to say a special thanks to Marin Derksema for giving me his blessing on publishing his poem ‘Secret Place’ to go along with the image of the same name – thanks Martin you are a star :)

Great move, Deborah. I had a look at the preview and this is an important book about childhood, created by an important photographer and a beautiful human being. Love what you have written in the introduction. It makes me feel so good you used the poem. Thanks for that.

No home should be without one, getting lost in your book sounds wonderful. It’s sensational that your creativity has made a complete volume Deb, I hope there’s more.

Congrats Deborah on you book… this is a great achievement for any photographer…. how long did it take you?
Deborah Parkin in reply to ECGardner’s comment, 6 months ago
Thank you so much Erin – that is really kind of you :)
Deborah Parkin in reply to Jacek Walczak’s comment, 6 months ago
Thank you Jacek – the book took me about a week to do – not because it was difficult it was just a labour of love and i just kept changing it until i felt it was right.
Jacek Walczak, 6 months ago
how about the image…. to collect the images, did that took a week too… or how long did you collect the image for it?
Deborah Parkin in reply to Jacek Walczak’s comment, 6 months ago
Hi Jacek – the project (childhood narratives) took about a year to do – these are what i consider some of the best images. So i suppose you could say that from the idea to the images being put into a book it took a year. Is that what you mean?
Jacek Walczak, 6 months ago
Hi Deb… yes Thank you very much… I saw the preview… very cool…
Deborah Parkin in reply to Jacek Walczak’s comment, 6 months ago
thank you so much Jacek :)

Excellent Deborah!! Your photos have always belonged in a book :)) Glad to see them come alive this way. Must be a great sense of achievement too, congrats!
David Parkin, 6 months ago
Next time you have a book published will you please put D Parkin instead of Deborah Parkin on the cover so I can brag to family and friends that I’m the clever one.
Although on 2nd thoughts, they’ll look at it and say . . . “nah, yer not that good”. lol
Deborah Parkin in reply to David Parkin’s comment, 6 months ago
lol David – but no need – your work speaks for itself in it’s own brilliance :)
Paul Tupman, 6 months ago
Wow, Deb.. thta’s great news.. I wish you all the best with this. I’m sure it will fly out of the door as it looks awesome and I can well imagine getting lost in all the imagery. The first of many I hope!
I just put together something myself recently as a suprise gift, but on a different site. The quality was brilliant and I couldn’t wait to show it around. I hope that you get the same satisfaction from yours… :-)
