Join us for a very special book release party celebrating many of the neighborhood’s very own photographers!
Ditmas Park: A Visual Anthology is the first photographic documentation of our neighborhood in the 21st century. It is a candid reflection of Ditmas Park's diversity, beauty, and uniqueness. Ditmas Park: A Visual Anthology is also Taylor & Co. Books' first foray into publishing! And we are tremendously proud to be printing with Radix Media, a Black-led, worker-owned, union print shop in Brooklyn (you don't find a Radix just anywhere—they are indeed special and kin to us).
In 2024 Ashton Gooding proposed an idea for a photography club. This club, named In Good Company, would meet once a month to discuss photography books, photographers, techniques, and ideas. Over a year later and it has blossomed into a thriving group of artists—new friends from vastly different parts of the world brought together by a love of photography and the geography we share. Ditmas Park.
This full color anthology (with a fabulous die-cut "window" cover) features the photographic work of many of its regular members as well as a few special guests with connections to Ditmas Park. Our photographers include: Alexandra Georgette Koskiris (aka Ali), Andre Taylor, Andrew Elias Colarusso, Annie Del Hierro-Jost, Ashton Gooding, Bailey Quinlan, Barbara Victoria Niveyro, Charlie Lederer, Chris Voss, Diana Cruz, Dread Scott, Jálynn Castleman, Jamel Shabazz, Linda J. Eber, Michael Cancelleri Jr., Shiva Muthiah, and Walter K. Lew.
