The Mothman's Photographer Book

Spurred by the realization that the 9/11 attacks were accurately predicted - in 1967 - by a friend who was seeing Mothman, Seattle photographer Andrew Colvin began documenting his experiences growing up in Mound, WV. Colvin produced a 33-hr. reality series called "The Mothman's Photographer," featuring interviews with 50 paranormal witnesses and experts, including celebrated ufologist John Keel. Colvin was interviewed for over 30 hrs. on the conspiracy talk show "The Grassy Knoll," becoming their most popular guest. Colvin produced 1250 pages of notes and transcripts, and several thousand photographs. This photo book features almost 300 of Colvin's recent images, as well as older artworks containing eerie, synchronistic overtones and symbolisms. There are brief descriptions of all the photos, an artist's statement, and a forward by Dave Scott, curator for the Cincinnati Gallery of Conceptual Art. Colvin's images dramatically illustrate his theory that birdmen such as Mothman, Garuda, and Thunderbird are actually archetypal, crime-fighting "superheroes" from the collective unconscious, sending dreams, visions, and psychic messages to ordinary humans.Read More
