IT’S BACK.

Five years after its first edition—and several reprints later—we’re delighted to present a second edition.

How can you tell it apart from the first? We thought it would be more enjoyable to leave a small surprise. The coloured papers remain in similar tones, but they’re different this time. And if you spot a pink head and tail band, you’ll know you’re holding the second edition. Even if you already own the first, this new version may well find its way onto your shelf.

Our heartfelt thanks to all the readers, collectors, and bookshops whose continued enthusiasm made this reprint possible, together with @deannadikeman.

For those discovering the book for the first time, here’s a gentle reminder:

“This book presents 27 years of Deanna Dikeman photographing her parents waving goodbye as she left their home after a visit. Just as she was driving away, Dikeman invariably pointed her camera at her parents. What started with a candid snapshot in 1991 turned into a ritual over the years. The book chronicles their farewells as seasons change and years go by, separating black and white photographs from colour photographs. Leaving and Waving — which was originally part of a larger body of work entitled Relative Moments — is a heartfelt exploration of family, the passage of time and the sadness of leaving. “
