The stories they carry

Field notes, letters, and the occasional small miracle from the road.

Some of the stories behind the pictures — and a few sent to us by the people who bought them.

The lighthouse keeper of Henningsvær

We took the ferry to Henningsvær to photograph the harbour and ended up spending three days with the man who still tends its light by hand. He has posted a card to his sister every Sunday for thirty-one years. Our “Cities in Fog” No. 2 is the view from his window.

Why we print on 350gsm recycled paper

We tested nine papers before we found it: recycled fibre, uncoated, 350gsm — heavy enough to feel like an object, soft enough to take fountain-pen ink without bleeding. It costs more and prints slower. We think you can feel the difference before you read a word.
