“I have been admitted to hospital. Please don’t worry, but call me when you can. Lots of love, D,P,O.” It was always how he signed off; shorthand for Dad, Pete, Opa. Tim J. Veling would soon learn his father had been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer with an estimated three months to live. The rug was suddenly pulled out from under his feet. D,P,O is a record of those last, precious months. The photographs are testament to not only the grief that father and son worked through together, but more importantly the love and admiration they shared; an account of the inevitable slowing of one life set to a backdrop of a new life and relationships thriving. Intensely moving in its unflinching intimacy and honesty, D,P,O reminds us that while death comes to us all, we must live in the present and treasure deeply the company of people we hold dear. For within those that remain, love and life endure.

About — We'e XYZ Books, a Lisbon based independent publishing house. We focus on publishing high-quality photography books, often featuring the works of contemporary photographers. XYZ Books was founded in 2013. The founders, Tiago Casanova and Pedro Guimarães, are themselves photographers and have used their expertise and passion to create a publishing house that is dedicated to showcasing the best of contemporary photography.

In addition to publishing books, we also organize exhibitions and other events related to photography. The publishing house has gained a reputation for producing visually stunning books that are carefully designed and produced to the highest standards.

We're much more than just a book publisher. Inside its premises, XYZ Books hosts five interdisciplinary and nonprofit projects, including a bookshop with a focus on photography, a publishing house, and a printing lab. The publishing house participates actively in international photobook fairs, photography festivals, and organizes workshops, exhibitions, and presentations.

One of the unique offerings of XYZ Books is its residencies entirely dedicated to photobook making. We believe photobooks are an important part of shaping the culture of photography, and we are committed to contributing to this cultural phenomenon by providing a collaborative and open space for artists and photographers to showcase their work.
