So today, Friday the 20th, 2009, Im really happy to announce I am releasing my first Photography book, [ life in situ ]. I decided to self-publish via Blurb without even attempting to look at more traditional means. I felt that Blurb was an obvious choice for several reasons. First off, it forces me to be responsible for marketing the book and selling it’s merits. Secondly, it doesn’t kill thousands of trees and increase greenhouse gases needlessly in the event the book completely tanks. Lastly, it allows me to retain creative control over the process. As a former Art Director I have a certain level of need to maintain control of my creative process. So, in the end, the product you purchase from Blurb is my vision, not a collaboration of various publisher’s Creative Directors. Does this mean I won’t ever publish with a mainstream publisher? Not at all. But, only if I feel it is worth it. If you’d like to check it out or maybe purchase a copy, visit the link …
