OT ThePasingShow book

[David J Brooks]

Been a while since i posted an up date for those interested. We did
not get a whole lot done on the book over August as many members where
away and thus contributions were slow to come in as in profile write
ups and out take pictures things like that. However those of us on the
committee put the book together and got most of the wording for the
intro acknowledgments and index and things like that, our own Mark
Roberts got a nod.:-)

As i mentioned a few months ago its a tough process and i truly
understand what Mark, Doug Scott and Bill go through. Its been a hard
grind some tough decisions had to be made resulting in bruised egos
but they were short lived and we are all carrying on. I'm missing
today's meeting. baby sitting, but the other members of the team are
putting the final touches on it, rear cover shot to decide and some
bios to proof and finalize. Thats about it. The ,members are invited
to the publishers house to view the book in Blurb Wright and make
final comments. I personally did not want to do this but was out
voted. They can also be our final spelling and grammar checkers, Gawd
forbid they ask me.:-). The team has an experienced writer and a
designer/ tech manual writer so we a re in good hand that way. I'll
post the link when its out so you can have a look at our work. Number
II might be easier.

OT TPS book update

[David J Brooks]

Phew, an update on the TPS book project for those that are interested.:-)

Make in March our small club (12) decided to do a Blurb book. We
formed a small committee of which i am part of. Its now almost mid
June and it seems like nothing has been accomplished but it really
has. It took us a while to decide on a number of things format, paper
layout etc but now we are in the process of choosing the photos from
the submissions. I suggested a max of their 10 best to be submitted
but majority wanted to submit 30. We have done 7 of the 12 members and
picking 10 from the 30 each is tougher than we thought but its fun and
we are learning a lot here. We have a writer and an designer on the
committee and they look at the process differently which is helpful to
the other 2. We thought our book would be done and out the door by now
but i'd say at least another month if not more. We can only seem to
meet once a week for a few hours as we are all retired and have things
to do,

Once again i can appreciate Marks hard work and the others as well.

I have submitted a number of tickets to Blurb seeking answers to
questions that should be asked by us novices. They have been quite
helpful.

OT memoir book

[David J Brooks]

Happy new year all.

Several things i wanted to achieve  in 2012 is to take more photos,
lose 10 more pounds, play way less farm ville and do way more writing.
The latter should go hand in hand.:-)
So today i spent pretty much 8 hours writing the next chapter of my
memoir book, the Queen Charlotte Island project. Keep in mind this is
first draft still and i have not really re read the chapter so i'm
sure things are missing.

Any way, here is the latest excerpt on Posterous:

http://equishooter.posterous.com/?page=6

Please fell free to have a look at your convenience and any comments
are welcome, again first draft and seldom pay attention to the spell
checkers.:-) as you already know.

RE: OT memoir book

[Bob W]

I reckon you can lose a few words:

Friday afternoon in Vancouver. You can't get a rock drill, but you can sure
get hammered. 

The plane to Sandspit flew so low I thought we'd need the rainsuits before
we unstrapped our seatbelts. 

And so on. Think Hemingway and a Sam Spade voice.

And that's even before you get started on Cap'n Ahab and his syphilitic
cabin boy.

 lose 10 more pounds, play way less farm ville and do way more writing.
 The latter should go hand in hand.:-)
 So today i spent pretty much 8 hours writing the next chapter of my
 memoir book, the Queen Charlotte Island project. Keep in mind this is
 first draft still and i have not really re read the chapter so i'm
 sure things are missing.
 
 Any way, here is the latest excerpt on Posterous:
 
 http://equishooter.posterous.com/?page=6
 
 Please fell free to have a look at your convenience and any comments
 are welcome, again first draft and seldom pay attention to the spell
 checkers.:-) as you already know.

 The plane to Sandspit flew so low I thought we'd need the rainsuits before

 And so on. Think Hemingway and a Sam Spade voice.

Could you not try one of these:

It was a dark and stormy night

Last night I dreamt I went to land survey again

It was a land survey in April and the clocks were striking thirteen

Land survey. Light of my life, fire of my loins

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a
land survey, must be in want of a wife

The past is a foreign country. They survey differently there

It was the afternoon of my eighty-first survey and I was in bed with my
catamite when Ali announced that the archbishop had come to see me

Actually, you know what? Re-reading it after reading all these, it's not so

Hi all.

I have put my book to date on my web site, mostly to help the fellow
that is, will,  proof it for me, however if any one wants to have a
peak:

http://www.caughtinmotion.com/Images/SlideruletoSatellites.doc

The first seven pages are from something i am writing for Erin about
how i grew up, but its in the whole thing for now as i plan to just
cut and paste some of the info later on, so you can skip those pages
if you want.

Any writing feedback is appreciated. Keep in mind this might only get
as far as myself and family reading it.

Its 15 mb, only because there is a temp picture in the file./

PS Ron, i will up date the web site every once in a while if and when
you get the chance.

Nice photo, i would like to go through that place one day.

The file is big due to a picture i have as a sample to see how the
pages would look. Good idea about the blog, maybe i'll set up a second
one from the one i already have and post passages.

Maybe i'll have a look at posterous, for that

OT: Christmas Book

[John Sessoms]

Or Hanukkah, Winter Solstice, Saturnalia ... whatever you might
celebrate by giving or receiving gifts this time of year.

I ran across the most marvelous book today.

*Norman Rockwell: Behind the Camera*

Links the painted images to the photo studies created for him to work from.

Product Description from Amazon:

Norman Rockwell: Behind the Camera is the first book to explore the
meticulously composed and richly detailed photographs that Norman
Rockwell used to create his famous artworks. Working alongside
skilled photographers, Rockwell acted as director, carefully
orchestrating models, selecting props, and choosing locations for the
photographs--works of art in their own right--that served as the
basis of his iconic images.

OT - Perfect book for the PDML

[Christian]

I read A History of the World in 6 Glasses on my trip to Australia.
http://tinyurl.com/q2x4b
It's basically a history of beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea and cola 
and the implications/impact these beverages have had on world history.

Given all the off-topic threads about ummm beer, wine, spirits and 
coffee we see here, I thought I'd mention the book (I should not have 
included OT in the subject line to keep with list tradition. grin).

Hello all,

Sorry to spam the list again with this, but I though you guys would
like to see it. And all the photos in the book were taken with an
istD, so it is not *that* OT...

I got the first proof of my book today. The price went a bit over what
I had planned, because I added a faux suede gloved spine. So I'll have
to price it at $60. I will give the PDML a discount, will post about
it on Friday. Also, it will be a limited edition of 200, numbered and
signed.

Photos of the book are here:

For those of you coming to my opening this Friday, I will of course
have the book there.

Let me know what you think, and thanks all who responded to the

Very nice, Juan. Unfortunately my budget does not allow for the purchase 
of $60 books (not even if they are about Photoshop grin). However, I 
hope you quickly sell out the printing.

I'll second that.  Books are so much nicer to read when they're in the hand

Re: OT: A book

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Boxed folio sets and books are two entirely separate things. Both are  
great when done well, but one does not replace the other. Photo books  
sell about 4x as many copies as boxed folio sets, from my research. I  
tend to prefer books as folio sets do tend to get scattered over  
time. However, folio sets made in small individual printings tend to  
have better print quality, though.


And, BTW, if you're going to sell a boxed folio set, you might as  
well get a real box made from archival materials than the junk you  
buy at the local stationary store. Or make one yourself, custom. That  
adds art value.

The problem with option #1 is that there is no way to ensure what  
your images/photos/whathaveyou will look like on a purchaser's  
screen. Lenswork is doing this with their Lenswork Extra CD  
editions ... the user interface is only just OK, and I luckily have  
a high quality monitor with proper calibration so I think I'm seeing  
about 50-60% of what a printed book or folio might be. But I  
subscribe to both the print and CD versions of the magazine ... and  
there's no comparison to the printed magazine.


Godfrey

Re: OT: A book

[Bob Sullivan]

Same problem with printing.
Quality is at the mercy of the printer.
How much do you want to spend on this book,
and how big is the production run?

We used to have problems with high end kids books that sold only
10,000 per year.
The marketing/sales force would deliberately overestimate sales at 20,000/year,
so the production run would be bigger and cost lower.  Of course
inventory carrying cost was then the problem...along with titles that
only sold 5,000 instead of 10,000 per year.

Re: OT: A book

The books I saw were of very nice quality. The person I talked to, who
is the founder of the company, is also a photographer, and her prints
(in her portfolio) were of very good quality.

In any case, Bob, your suggestions are not at all bad--I might pursue
the box of images in the near future.

Thanks everybody for the support and suggestions. I am going forward
with this, and if everything goes well I will have a first proof of
the book during the opening of my show, on Friday the 28th. I'll post
about it here.

Last year I made a mockup with some photos, and had it printed via
lulu. I was dissappointed, the dark midtones were very muddy, and in
general, the print quality was not great. Lulu seems oriented to text
books more than to art ones.

I did have a photo published in the latest version of JPEG magazine,
also printed through lulu, and the quality is much better than my test
book. Maybe they improved their act.

Of course. That's why an author/publisher *proofs* the book BEFORE  
starting a production print run, and can reject the production run if  
it doesn't meet the quality standard that you require.

Re: OT: A book

[Paul Stenquist]

With direct mail advertising materials and brochures, we (large 
agencies) go well beyond examining proofs. We send an art director and 
a production expert to the printing plant. They examine the first press 
run and instruct the printer in regard to necessary changes. It's very 
rare that no adjustment is needed. Printing is a very inexact science. 
Sometimes we take a second look a day later, just to make sure that the 
print run is consistent. I would insist on total involvement before 
spending a lot of money on a book of photographs.

OT: A book

[Juan Buhler]

Hello,

A question for you PDMLers: I had the chance to see books made by
fastbackbooks.com today, and I'm thinking about self editing one with
some of my photographs. Their quality is very nice, they are
hardcover, cloth bound little books.

Now, this only becomes worthwhile pricewise if I can order at least 20
copies, hopefully more.

So my question is: would anyone here be interested in buying a little
8x6.5 hardcover with, say, 25 or so of my photographs in it, for
around $45-$50?  I'm just interested in having an idea if this is
doable; I promise that I won't even contact any of you individually as
a result of this thread. If the book happens all I'll do is to post a
Friday for sale message here.

I realize you can get better books by better photographers, for less
money at Borders--that's why I need to ask. My goal with this btw is
not to make money--ideally I would break even after the design costs,
and end up with a few copies myself to give away.

Thanks,

j
