Recently. I have been working on a physical book the idea for which has been rolling around in my cranium for some time.<\/p>\n

Back in the winter of 2016\/2017 I spent some time photographing meeting houses and churches in the general “neighborhood”. I ended up with almost one hundred processed, finished photographs.<\/p>\n

My first thought was to put together a press printed book, containing three or four dozen photos total. However, the project stalled at the photo editing stage. I simply could not cull the set of photographs down from one hundred to forty-ish. Every time I tried, I ended up with a different subset. I put prints in a folder and put the project aside in frustration.<\/p>\n

A month or so ago, one of my photo friends* suggested that selecting a smaller number of photos and making a shorter book might actually be easier. Lo-and-behold, she was right!<\/p>\n

I ended up with a dozen photos that I have sequenced and printed four to a 13″x19″ sheet. I have printed four set of folios on some very nice two-sided matte paper. Now all I have to do is decide on the covers and sew the covers and folios together. The decision is always harder than the sewing!<\/p>\n

This morning, as an experiment, I spent a bit of time putting together an ebook version (as a pdf file) of this project.\u00a0 Here is a link to the book which is titled “White Clapboard — Winter Light<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

The ebook is best viewed by downloading the pdf file and opening it in Acrobat Viewer rather than just clicking on the link and viewing it in your browser.**<\/p>\n

What do you think?<\/p>\n

\n

* We are a group of about ten photographers who meet on an irregular basis to discuss “projects and objects”… that is, our creative processes and the prints that result.<\/p>\n

** Opening the file in most browsers will display the book one page at a time. This is OK. However, Adobe’s Acrobat Viewer will display the book as two page spreads, as I designed it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
