Posted on FRACTION BLOG: "At the end of last year (2009) Miki Johnson and Andy Adams coordinated a "cross-blog" discussion about the future of photography books. Over forty bloggers participated with a range of amateur and professional voices piping in and adding their thoughts to the mix. The interest in the subject of photobooks* has continued unabated and various fairs devoted to the Photobook are popping up around the world.
With the 3rd annual Photography Book Now and featuring a contest deadline fast approaching (sponsored by Blurb with a whopping $25,000 grand prize), a few of us that love photobooks thought we would initiate another online discussion about self-publishing—where we've come in the last few years in terms of perception, creativity and technology." –Darius Himes, Santa Fe, June 20, 2010 + + +
When I posted my 2 cents on the "Future of Photography Books" back in December, I was just considering using Blurb.com for the first time for a photobook project. Half a year and several Blurb books later...I am a total convert! I think it's the greatest invention since the internet! It's opened up a world of possibilities for everyone, where it had been open to only a few. Your self-published book can be as great as you (or your book designer!) are able to create. + + +
