Jitu The Fisherman And the Return to the Mountain of Nundulungu James Stephenson Editor Mike Warlow
Jitu The Fisherman is a wonderful collection of timeless photography from James Stephenson’s twenty year spiritual journey through Africa, exploring the heart of this incredible land. His words and images take the reader into the world of shamanism, of storytelling, mythology and magic as he travels with Jitu, a local witch doctor and fisherman; his journey uncovers the folklore of the ocean and ends at the sacred mountain Nundulungu, where he and the Hadzabe Bushmen visited before, that became the foundation for his writing.

The Moscow Metro was staged by Stalin as a heroic national event. Pompous palaces were built by hundreds of thousands of workers for the “biggest metro of the world”. The aim was to make a statement about the efficiency of the USSR to the West. At the same time, the architecture was supposed to serve as a symbol of power and strength for the citizens. This unique photo documentation of the Moscow Metro by Ralph Richter, one of the most renowned architectural photographers, was created in 1989 with personal permission from Mikhail Gorbachev. With immensely long exposure times the photographer was able to capture the buildings in fascinating brilliance in their actual state at the time. Presented here is an exclusive edition, strictly limited to 499 copies, which are numbered and signed.
