Juan, interesting idea! I ordered a copy to see what the product looks like, feels like… I followed your blog during your expedition, and am glad to see a few images from that time.
We have been able to travel quite a bit. Once the covid-19 shutdowns forced cancellation of our plans for this year, I settled in to do a few blurb books of photos from our travels. Then our house was flooded (27” water throughout) and I have spent the last 8 weeks working on recovery. At this point there is little more i can do other than wait for contractor estimates so I can see whether or not the house can be saved, and was about to start back to work on my blurb projects. I had been working with a notion of one “chapter” per destination, 4-6 pages, 10-15, sometimes 20 images per chapter. Your zine approach has me thinking of alternatives… Stan > On Jul 12, 2020, at 12:14 PM, Juan Buhler <[email protected]> wrote: > >> What did you plan to do with the 50 copies you had printed if you hadn't > thought >> about selling them? > > This is an excellent question!
