New Simon Roberts project

I’m a huge fan of Simon Roberts’s Motherland—it was my favorite photo book of 2007—so I was absolutely thrilled to read on Hipshots about Simon’s new project, We English, and the accompanying Web site and blog. I’m long overdue for a trip to England, and as I’m skint, the closest I’ll get to being there is reading a blog that makes use of the word whilst. Hats off to Simon for braving the high petrol prices (currently £1.10/liter, or approximately US$8.25/gallon) in a motor home, sponsorship or not.
