Issue No. 49 includes 'Through the Eye of the Pinhole - an experiment in looking' by Philip Gross. The article was submitted partly in response to the previous edition on Word and Image, but also by way of initiating perhaps a series of reflections by authors of recent publications, considering what they have learned from the making of the work - things that might feed into their own and other people's teaching practice; a kind of creative/ pedagogic 'Afterword'.

I Spy Pinhole Eye, by Philip Gross with photographs by Simon Denison, is published by Cinnamon Press this Autumn.
