Re: PESO 2011 - 110 - GDG
Thanks for the comments! Yesterday, I attended the workshop reunion annual party. This is a gathering of photographers who've taken workshops with Brigitte Carnochan (http://www.brigittecarnochan.com/) over the years ... I participated in one of her exhibition workshops (the Foto Nova 19 show in 2009). Attendees usually bring some of their current work to share. Since I hadn't made many prints of the Communicating series yet, I decided to try an idea I've been toying with ... I printed 11 very small images onto heavy paper about 3x4 inches in size (with big borders!) and tipped them into a pocket-sized Moleskine fan-fold note pad. Communicating was written on the cover and the prints were presented on the table with an 8x magnifying loupe to allow viewing them in detail. My hope was that the small size and loupe invltes an intimacy and closeness with the photos that draws a viewer into the series in a way that exhibition sized prints in a folio or gallery generally does not. Overall, I think the concept is a smashing success. I got so many complimentary comments, both on the photos and on the presentation, I think I gained three hat sizes. Temporarily, of course. ;-) Now that I see how well it worked with the viewers, I'll figure out a better way to make these little books ... as a prototype of the idea, it was successful, but tipping in small prints is tedious and the standard binding of the Moleskine note pad limits how many prints can be included in a set too much. I'd like to do more of these with about 20 to 30 images, but there has to be a way to produce them in small numbers and to a higher quality standard that is more efficient.

I'm a Moleskine junkie myself--having the daily planner, various themed journals, and the Cahier series in all sizes and colors--, and your idea, Godfrey, sounds lovely. I've actually been thinking about doing something with their Japanese album notebook--and various others. Moleskine is now doing *custom notebooks*. Maybe they could create one to spec for your needs, Godfrey. Also, digital notebooks are now available, and I just downloaded a Moleskine app for my iPhone 4.

That's the issue: even cutting out half the paper, tipping in 11 prints on Epson Enhanced Matte paper fills the cover binding completely. What I'd need is about double that binding thickness in the same page size for a set of 20, given a tipping in printing assembly. But I have some other ideas.
