To say that Jamie Baldridge is an imaginative genius is to state what will be obvious to anyone who views
The Everywhere Chronicles, though readers of the tale he wrote to accompany the photographs may
decide he is an escapee from the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. Using sumptuous colors and the most bizarre,
sometimes zany, often mystical imagery, Baldridge reveals a world he has miraculously imagined. He then
takes us on tour through the whimsical travelogue he has written to accompany his masterful photographs.
His guidebook may be a little mad, but his photographs are no collection of elaborate jests and spoofs.
They are the stuff of archetypes, and they transport us to mythic places of the mind, of memory, and of
histories not yet written.
In a natural evolution, 21ST Editions (a unique publisher known throughout the world for its mastery
of classic photographic processes such as platinum prints, hand-pulled photogravure and silver gelatin
photographs) has utilized color pigment ink printing for the first time with The Everywhere Chronicles.
This is due to the fact that we at 21ST Editions wish to stay true to the original and preferred medium of
the artist, who works exclusively in pigment ink and who personally printed and signed each photograph
himself. The result is our first color book, one that reflects our decade long commitment to creating the
finest photography books in existence, incorporating the widest range of original processes available.
