p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Two versions of my book - if. Need help editing it.


A few days ago I posted a thread about my new Blurb book titled: if

I asked for feedback, and based on the feedback (thanks) I re-edited and cut the number of photos by half. I also got rid of "paired" photos on facing pages (some people didn't like juxtapositions) -- now have just one photo per spread -- on right hand page. I added pagination to make it easier for people to identify each photo by page number.

Here's the link to the 2nd version free preview: http://www.blurb.com/books/5554123-if

And here is the link to the 1st version free preview (for comparison): http://www.blurb.com/books/5547415-if

So round 2. If you feel up to it, please share your thoughts -- you can indicate which photos by page number you'd like to see removed, or used as a replacement for cover, or placed last, or organized differently or whatever you choose.

By the way before doing the 2nd version, I made a pdf with Adobe Bridge, 63 photos (7 rows x 9) each photo about 2.4 inches square, and printed them on 17x22 paper - 4 sheets, and then cut out each photo to see if this helped the editing process. I arranged prints on the floor -- it helped -- but I think I really needed a 4x8 table to comfortably look at and move the small prints.

I definitely prefer the 2nd version of the book. Images are stronger without the filler shot. I think it is a good book for people who like street photography.

Dan,
A book of your work is meant to showcase your vision, not that of a committee.
While having someone who's work you admire, look through and give his thoughts might be ok, taking a poll of a forum seems, at least to me, to say that you don't have a point of view, yet.
I hope you will take all suggestions with a grain of salt, and publish something that shows who you are.
Best of luck.
