rome - spotting gems
Illustrated book by Marcus Townend
In this series, the amateur photographer compiles photographs of small details such as doorbells, window frames, slits and holes in house walls, blinds and light switches in a picture book.
These are little gems that we often pass by without noticing.
They are often the result of an interplay between human craftsmanship (painting, carpentry, plastering, electrical work) and nature (erosion, lichens, algae, fungi).
