Description: Recycling Reality by Nicky Almasy An ill-fated sojourn through Tijuana, Mexico, on the way to New York City results in a sharp turn towards Asia and a rollercoaster journey through the world of photojournalism. Nicky Almasy recounts his fascinating story, including a decade in China documenting Shanghais jazz scene, exploring the malaria-stricken hinterlands of Cambodia and accompanying renowned Hungarian musician Both Miklos on his travels through Asia. Recycling Reality explores the pleasures and the pitfalls of frenetically trying to capture the world through a camera lens, and the debilitating effect of travelling 150,000 km annually, while telling a myrad stories of culture, art and heritage across East Asia. The book also examines whether travel is the ultimate escape or an invitation to burn-out, and whether it is possible to detach ourselves from our own past. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Review "Take a serious dose of wanderlust, mix in an obsessive curiosity about life, sprinkle it all with masses of talent, and you have Nicky Almasys life. From Cartel-controlled Mexico, Britpop London, and a couple of decades roaming Asia, Recycling Reality captures multiple unique times and places, always seen with Almasys hyper-observant eye." - Paul French, author of Midnight in Peking"A stunning meditation on the photojournalist life on the road by a fellow photography superstar." - Christopher Makos, Andy Warhols personal photographer"Almasy eloquently and insightfully captures life behind the lens - from gangsters at the Mexico borderlands to vampire-fearing medics in Southeast Asia to the explosive energy of Shanghai during a fascinating and pivotal moment in its unique history. An engrossing read." - Ned Kelly, Editor, Thats Shanghai"Mesmerising. I love great stories of survival and travel, no matter what tragedies and adventures are encountered along the way. Recycling Reality is ultimately an uplifting book: it is deeply thoughtful, and moves in part like a fairytale, but the authority and passion with which Nicky Almasy speaks is unmistakable. A quite exceptional, infectious book." - Keith Hockton, Author, publisher, podcaster"Nicky Almasy is truly a gifted photojournalist, videographer and writer. His life has been a series of adventures, from New York to Shanghai to Kuala Lumpur and many other cities in between. The experiences he has had, living and working in these cities are well-documented in this interesting book. It is well worth reading." - Dato Eustace Anthony Nonis, Author and historian"This honest and very personal account of a life lived to the full should be essential reading for anyone considering leaving the rat-race to do the same. It is not all a bed of roses, but what other alternative can there possibly be?" - Chris Stowers, author of Bugis Nights Details ISBN9888769693 Author Nicky Almasy Pages 274 Publisher Earnshaw Books Ltd Year 2023 ISBN-13 9789888769698 Format Paperback Publication Date 2023-01-17 Imprint Earnshaw Books Ltd Subtitle A Photojournalists Journey Series Reality Series Number 1 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
