“I’m convinced that to look back like this, while always in part an act of grief, is first and foremost a celebration. The past, humming with the attention we give it, repays us in kind – by reminding us of how far we’ve come. Now, and perhaps for a while yet, this will be our challenge, to take solace in memory.”

Los Angeles, May 2020
During lockdown in London (having printed Mexico and replotted our issues dedicated to Greece and Wales) I found myself desperate to create. It wasn’t about making the lockdown time count, more about finding ways to slow down, look back and seek beauty – and to offer a platform to some of the creatives who have been so generous with their time and talent over the years. And so the team and I began work on Lodestars Anthology Postcards – a 144 page photo book featuring archival work from across the world, paired with musings on life, travel and the wonders of photography.
