The Thousands

Seen one DIY zine, seen them all, right? Nopes! Heading in a direction far removed from stereotyped trends like lo-fi xeroxed jobs, chicks with tits and Champs Rubys, ex-singer Patrick Ruggles shows us his sensitive side with the self-release of his photozine, Embolism.

Uncovering a unique selection of photographic work collected over the course of the past years, Embolism’s stark black and white images are raw, breathtaking and honest. Seldom will you see a varying range of subject matter and concepts work so fluently in one photographic release and Embolism captures texture, people, landscape and other moments that will politely flirt with your idea of light and shadow.

True to the core and keeping it real, Embolism silently captivates and moves the audience beyond what you expect from your everyday DIY photo zine. At only 10 bucks, it’s worth it just for the old school coil binding.
