Sometime mid 2014 Queensland University Press approached me with a request to use a photograph of mine that designer Sandy Cull had found on my Flickr feed, for the cover of an upcoming publication ‘The Ash Burner’ by Kari Gislason. This was a new gig for me and working through the release process was a healthy learning curve and possibly an exasperating on for the publishers. The reality of having a well respected designer in the person of Sandy Cull and Q.U.P. having the confidence in the image to carry the book to its conclusion and, in a nice way, validated what I do on a day to day basis.
