Photo Book

Today FedEx dropped off my 2008 Photo book.   I designed it in Apple's Aperture software, my preferred photo management program.   The results are stunning!  It's a hard bound book complete with a dust jacket.   This year, I'm making a conscious attempt to get more of my work on paper.   The books are a perfect way to do it.   I'm also trying some large 13x19 prints, but as I'm finding, they're pricey to frame.  

The intent of the book was to capture my best work from 2008.   Towards the end of the year it drifts to more of a family theme for obvious reasons.  But I tried to keep the standards high.  Some of the family shots are very appropriate for the theme as I set up them up (lights, timer, etc).  

At nearly $70 with shipping, it wasn't cheap.  But I'm very happy with the results.  At minimum, I'll plan to do one a year.  The next obvious book would be Shelby's first year in photos.
