INIMITABLE ROADHOUSE BLUES BY JAKE TERREY

Jake’s account of his trip across North and Central America was always going to be a visual endeavour, for the first (published) time he’s employed words as a means of articulating his experience. The outcome is no less deep, no less intense and no less beautiful than his inquisitive lens. If you are brave (and patient) enough to embark on its reading, you’ll be rewarded with the realisation that sometimes powerful pictures speak even louder when accompanied by a few (10) thousand words.

The Language of Love by Matilda Dods

There is a sweet and sticky awkwardness of falling in love that never truly leaves, even after the days of high school and asking your parents’ permission to go out with your boyfriend. Like an ice cream melting down your fingers, sugary trails to be licked off hands and wrists, leaving behind a sticky residue.
