Yeh, so I took my interest in photography to a very cool step, I think - I self-published a book with my favorite "artsy" photos through Blurb.com, "Passion = Truth: A photographic essay of life's truths". I gotta tell you...it was a lot of fun. You choose the layouts, fonts, book style and size, supply the text and photos and Blurb does everything else for you. My preview copy is due here after Thanksgiving and I'm keen to see if the quality is what was advertised. We're talking hard cover with book jacket and quality paper, baby. Based on comments from other users and from the examples I've seen online, I'm hoping to be very impressed. The book is great - what am I gonna say? Like I said, it's an "artsy" look at some of my travels and the pictures I took...I'm very happy with it and that's why I'm putting it out there for anyone to see.
Unfortunately, I can't afford to buy'm up and give'm away. But if you're interested, click on the Blurb badge to the right under Brett Favre's picture - it'll give you a preview of the book and tell you how you can order it. I think it's something like $39.95. Come on - it's worth it. That's expensive for a 52 page book...hmmm. Well that includes a $5 profit for me. What? Starving artist? You may wanna put together your own book - wedding, travel, recipes, photography, poety...the sky's the limit. Look for my review in a more recent post (receive my book copy 11/26). Remember, books make great gifts for the upcoming holiday season. And - reading is fundamental.
