the 2012 meta list
elementary calculus, with 13 14 ‘best of’ mentions, was the second highest ranked book on the 2012 meta list — the list of lists, compiled by QT luong, which tallies all the best of the year listings for each book.
i am very thankful to all who listed the book as a favorite and to all my friends, family and colleagues who have supported me, and this project, along the way.
it really was an incredible year for photo-books and there are a lot of great artists on the list.
Antonio M. Xoubanova, Casa de Campo
— really looking forward to checking this one out.

My Five Favourite Photobooks of 2012: #5 Lick Creek Line by Ron Jude
Lick Creek Line is an ambitious book. But its ambition is almost predictable at this point when you consider where we have arrived with the photobook in the last couple of years.
This book’s lyrical tone and poetic nature have become almost standard elements in “serious” photobook structure. This isn’t to say that Lick Creek Line has lost some of its surprise. In fact, what I liked most about Lick Creek Line is how Jude uses this poetic language in the transition of the images in order to deliver a subtle yet deft punch at the end.
a thougthful write-up on a great book.

*** 2012 ***
it’s been an amazing year – from the release of my first book, to the birth of my twins… 2012 will not be forgotten.
many thanks to all the folks who helped along the way, making this year such a success, and to all those who listed elementary calculus as one of their favorite books of the year…

— appropriate on this chilly december day with 40mph wind gusts…“Sometimes I think the land is flat because the winds have leveled it, they blow so constantly. In any case, a gale can grow in a field of corn that’s as hot as a draft from hell, and to receive it is one of the most dismaying experiences of this life, though the smart of the same wind in winter is more humiliating, and in that sense even worse.” - William H Gass from “In the Heart of the Heart of the Country”
a wonderful little christmas surprise - elementary calculus listed by lightbox as one of TIME magazine’s most loved photobooks of the year.
