Softcover, designed by Cody Haltom and Bryan Schutmaat. First edition of 750 copies, includes a foldout poster.

Good Goddamn is a short photobook about a man named Kris from rural Texas and his last few days of freedom before going to prison. 

The second edition includes a letter by Kris, written from the state prison.

“Good Goddamn, published by Trespasser, tells a nominally simple story. Shot over a period of a few days in February 2017, in Leon County, Texas, Good Goddamn documents, in only twenty-seven photographs, the last few days of freedom of Schutmaat’s friend Kris before he went into prison. As this is a book of hints and half-lights, the spaces between the pictures being as important, so to speak, as the pictures themselves, we are not informed of the crime that led to Kris’s incarceration, nor the duration of the sentence. But the fact he was not in custody possibly suggests that the misdemeanour was not serious, although the psychological weight of the book perhaps points to the opposite.” (Gerry Badger from his review for 1000Words)
