JOACHIM FROESE on Radio National: You may be interested to hear photographer Joachim Forese's interview from Radio National's program 'The Book Show'. A big reader since childhood, he shared that passion with his mother, Brigitte. There was always lively discussion about writing and ideas in the family home, often with reference to Brigitte's well stocked bookshelves. But in 2006, events forced him to start thinking very differently about his mother's books. When Brigitte Froese was diagnosed with cancer, he began to photograph her library as a way of preserving her memory. Click to download the interview.
