Much like Peter Beard and Bill Burke before, Grazda's journal entries and diaristic graphics, along with his image manipulation and conceptual positioning of his photographs and writings make this no mere photo notebook, but rather an indelible stamp, a graphic passport if you will, of people and places, frozen in time, but now alive with invigorating juxtapositions and dynamic sequencing, a filmic recap of a place and time long gone but still there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStarting in 1980, Grazda traveled to Hong Kong, Thailand, Burma, Vietnam, Laos, India, China, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. This was a time of change in Asia—globalization, wars, drugs, tourism, and religion remaking ethnic traditions and governments alike. Grazda's photos—with a few fictional and literary texts—serve as your passport to that long time ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47595711529196,"sku":"9781648230004","price":69.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781648230004-asia-calling.jpg?v=1777904336"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/edward-grazda.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
