Before talking about this new photo book series, can you tell us how you started your journey in publishing and when you decided to found Agenzia NFC?

According to an artist Irina Blok: "I am a designer based in San Francisco, and I love to doodle during my spare time. I hear many words that amuse me during the day, not sure why, but they are just too funny. Perhaps it's a combination of being easily amused and having English as a second language.
