<p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><font size="2">Some of you may have come across this already via Twitter, but I wanted to share my upcoming photobook project, <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/632375787/klara-and-the-bomb" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: rgb(220, 161, 13);">Klara and the Bomb</span></a>, in the event that it might be of interest to some. Through the lens of the life and work of Klara von Neumann, the book charts connecting threads between the invention of modern computers, the history of nuclear weapons development in the United States, women programmers, military photography and nuclear colonialism. The book combines archival research and historical images with my own fieldwork photographs, texts and interviews.</font></p>

The book is £35 (including UK postage, postage outside the UK is extra) and is available for pre-order here:</font></p>
