Description

Postcards Home is a record of a period of personal upheaval; of the endings and beginnings of very important relationships; of illnesses and deaths and births. All of the works in this book were taken with an iPhone, and most were immediately sent to someone he cared about, or were shared within his broader social network. Henry Jacobson is a photographer and filmmaker based in New York and Los Angeles. His still photography has been published and exhibited internationally. He curated his first major exhibition at CPW, to critical acclaim, and has given many lectures and interviews on the evolution of photography through the use of smartphones and social networks.
