Book Synopsis Since moving to New York City in 2012, Belfast-born visual artist Jonathan David Smyth has been photographing reflections of himself. Shot completely with his camera phone, this ongoing series of self-portraits combines issues of identity, displacement, belonging, and impermanence. As Smyth says, I make photographs to prove I am here. My work is cathartic, but I want other people to relate to what I am presenting. Just One More is a work of moments; it is a visual diary of my life in New York City, and these photographs are the mappings of where I have been. The pictures already I am just stepping into them. Featuring fifty plates accompanied with handwritten captions, this monograph also includes a critical essay by the executive director of Photographic Center Northwest, Michelle Dunn Marsh, and a conversation between Jonathan David Smyth and photographer Dana Stirling. Review Quotes Smyth has been exploring unanswerable questions from the past for the majority of his life, which, though painful, has provided rich terrain for his visual pursuits. --Michelle Dunn Marsh, Executive Director, Photographic Center Northwest I am imagining people taking [this] book and using it as a tour guide, and going back to the streets [Smyth] photographed in. --Dana Stirling, Float Photo Magazine ...I dont consider them absolute self-portraits. I see them more as photographs I am stepping into. --Jonathan David Smyth About the Author Jonathan David Smyth is an artist who works with photography, video, performance, and incorporated text.
