"""The word 'comprehensive' might suggest a definite account or an objective overview, but in Nick Waplington's world – photographic or otherwise – there are innumerable detours and digressions. Looking at his work made over the past four decades it's clear that this book isn't a formal retrospective, rather it is an open ended conversation across time, a visual record of the unexpected pleasures of life and a desire to capture them."" – Matthew Higgs, Director, White Columns, New York"
