... in September 2009, Martin Parr sent his Berlin Art Forum VIP pass to Joachim Schmid, because he couldn't get to the event himself. Joachim Schmid is also a well-known photographer, who specialises in making collections from other people's photographs. Anyway, Joachim visited the Forum and decided to take some photos in the spirit of Martin Parr - for that day Joachim became Martin. Joachim subsequently invited Martin to be Joachim Schmid. In response, Martin trawled through the 'Martin Parr WE ♥ U' group here on flickr. Martin looked for representative “Parr-like” images and then wrote to all the selected photographers and invited them to participate in this little project, in exchange for a copy of the resulting book. The two sets of images are now published on the pages of the blurb book 'Joachim Schmid is Martin Parr · Martin Parr is Joachim Schmid'. My image, above, was selected by Martin to appear in the book (wow!), which arrived in the post today (21 December 2009), signed by both Martin and Joachim. What a superb solstice surprise! ... thanks Martin ...
