Originally published as an educational booklet in 1926, Freak Trees is a humorous collection of candid photography featuring (mostly) local examples of beloved freak trees. I decided to repackage it as a contemporary photo book that would elevate the content and appeal to adults interested in both nature and photography. Housing the beloved freak trees in a linen clothbound cover with foil stamped text and embedded photo adds a level of reverence and sophistication, and the interior pages provide each photo with enough space for appreciation. Prize winning photos are featured at larger scale and bleed off the fore-edge, making them feel more immersive; while Honorable Mentions and Trees Not Eligible are smaller and aligned to the outer margin.
