"Bliss"

"Bliss" by Martin Parr, is a book of "Postcards" about (in general terms) the "Bliss" of family / love / couples.

His introduction is so in touch with my own personal project, that I'm going to paraphrase the shitznitz out of it later - when I OCR it...

The images are cheesy, stereotypical, and on a contextual level, almost like cheap East European Porn in many of their "Setups" - One can almost imagine the story.... "Olga was practicing her flugelhorn when a dashing young chap knocked on her door......"
The images themselves are not by Martin Parr, rather he is a collector of this form of Art. His appreciation is similar to mine, and his sense of humour akin to mine too.

I've ordered "Boring Postcards" by him, to further explore...
