In this B&H Event Space video, photographer David J. Carol takes you on a guided tour of his new book, NO PLAN B. Shot exclusively with analog cameras and black-and-white film, and spanning the 1990s to the present, Carol’s images are the culmination of his many road trips to such far-flung locations as the Arctic Ocean, post-Soviet Russia, the streets of Istanbul, and the Mojave Desert. His often surreal vision mixes mystery and irony with a unique humor, ranging from deadpan to slapstick. During his presentation, Carol shares many anecdotes—from a little-known tip about the dangers of static for film photographers shooting in Artic conditions to personal insights such as this: “The longer I stare through this viewfinder when something’s not moving, the more interesting I can make it.” The video ends with a short synopsis of Carol’s publication process, from the photographic print through production, to behind-the-scenes at the printer, offering viewers a rare peek into the world of publishing a photographic book.
