One thought that the Doonster pointed me to regarding SoFoBoMo ( and I keep typing SoPoBoMo where I am thinking Photo, not Foto - I know, blame jet lag) is a thought by Colin at Photostream to develop the final output in a book format, but perhaps more in line with a book proposal format....

SoFoBoMo – 2008
While I was in China, I did see the notice that SoPoBoMo (aka Solo Photo Book Month) was formerly announced and launched. I see a lot of familiar names in the list of willing participants, including Anita Jesse, Guy Yates, Colin Jago, Paul Lester, Rosie Perera, Kjell Andersen, Matt Alofs, Martin Doonan and of course...

Folio versus a book
One of the items that Brooks Jensen and I discussed last month was my interest in self-publishing a private limited edition book. Brooks then mentioned what he is publishing, which he calls "Folios" and so I did a little research on his process. It is very interesting. There is no binding involved, in as all of...

Restarting the book project again
Okay, I am now back from my three trip and I am ready to start working on my privately published folio on the Bad Trip - Sad Trip series, which I guess you could also call a Monograph. I have also initiated a new catagory bucket (Books) on the side bar to help consolidate all of these posts for those... Continue Reading →

No dummy for this dummy
Intensions were good, but I found that I still needed to tweak a bunch more images before getting serious about printing the book dummy. So more tweaking and more printing. I think I better buy another 220ml of the Light-Light Black real soon. Meanwhile I have paper clipped the 8-1/2 x 11" prints together to simulate... Continue Reading →
My hand made book – step 4
No show on my order of Moab paper, so I started calling around to the local pro photo shops. That is one of the nice things about living near Los Angeles, you attact and keep some nice pro photo stores. In this case Calumet has their regional store in Orange County and they have recently increased... Continue Reading →
