Read and Erase Photo Glossary

Posted on by

I intended to include this list in the

photographs that appear in Read and Erase are:

You might notice a few of the titles
repeat; some photos appear in multiple panels, while some titles
refer to different photos in a series. Also, I didn’t have
high-resolution versions of many photos, but one advantage of
risograph printing is that it somewhat obscures the pixilation of a low-res
image – to, I think, really interesting effect in the case of
photographs.
