It started as our pandemic project in August 2020, as we were looking at his very first black and white film negative files and started scanning. After that, we had to stop working on this project due to shooting of the documentary Dear Memories, and then work on his book The Way It Was with Steidl last year. But we came back to the project and decided to do a book, or a series of books, gathering together some of his early work.
