Miss Bertie at Blurb

Adriana asked me if she could have a book of the Miss Bertie bendy images, so now that the Redbubble free shipping offer is on, I thought I’d show it off to everyone.

I’ve bought two of Adrian Donoghue’s books from blurb, and been very happy with them, the free shipping will save a great deal!

    Great collection of images, Mel :)
    This reminds me of “Gay Paris” at the turn of the [20th] century – “la belle époque”. I wish you the very best with this recent project.

    Great work, Mel. How good is Blurb! I made a book of South American photography. South American Sojourn They are such good quality.
    Love the way you set it out, looks really good.

    Thanks Anthony, I’m very happy with the results, considering the images are straight out of the camera!
