A decade ago, I found four photographs of a woman in a junk shop. She stared out from the fading prints. Some had notes on the back, she spoke to me. Her name was Bibsie.

Over the years that followed, a remarkable history emerged — a love story between Bibsie and Brian, spanning decades, continents, highs and lows. A story told through the kind of archival images most people discard, sequenced to reveal a narrative we all recognise and have always known.

My Darling Brian is the first volume of In Amber, a series of photographic novellas told entirely through found imagery. Each book offers a story that has been repeated by storytellers for centuries — and invites you to bring it to life through your own imagination.
