Childhood Narratives Book
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.

Congratulations! Your work is amazing & the book looks amazing. Secret place (poem and image) was a favourite for me and still is.

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.
Deborah Parkin replied

Deborah Parkin replied
Thank you so much Erin – that is really kind of you :)
Jacek Walczak
Congrats Deborah on you book… this is a great achievement for any photographer…. how long did it take you?
Deborah Parkin replied
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
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 replied
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
Hi Deb… yes Thank you very much… I saw the preview… very cool…
Deborah Parkin replied
thank you so much Jacek :)
Douzy
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!

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 replied
lol David – but no need – your work speaks for itself in it’s own brilliance :)
Paul Tupman
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… :-)
