Towards the end of every year since 2010 I have produced a small number of copies of a simple, spiral-bound A4 calendar featuring my own artwork, for distribution as a Christmas / New Year gift for close friends and family.
In 2019 it occurred to me that – calendars being essentially ephemeral objects – it might be worth putting together a book to record a few of them. It seemed like an interesting idea to pair the calendar image for each month (on the right) with a photograph taken by me during that particular month of that actual year (on the left): perhaps this might give some hint of how each month in each of five consecutive years did turn out for me, if only as captured in one photograph.
