Beware of Gifts that involve lots and lots of work!
Beware of Gifts that involve lots and lots of work! belongs to the following groups:
Former DPF Members, United States and Western United States Artists and PhotographersFor Christmas, instead of the normal shirt or toy, my wife decided to give me a gift certificate to have a book published. I know you are saying to yourself; what a great idea! But I think she had an ulterior motive in mind. To lock me up in my office and out of her hair for a long, long time!
Well after about 60 hours of work and peace for my wife, I have finished my short little photo story of the town I live in and sent it off to the publisher for printing. I never knew how much work was involved in putting a few images and a little writing together in what I hope is a cohesive manner. Here is my first try at such an endeavor wish me luck!

Sounds like a great project, but it IS a LOT of work. Congrats

Seemed like a lot of time spent for just 40 pages but it was fun and hopefully will turn out OK.

Get to work on that book Sunrises of my life with your wonderful morning shots from your home Deb. Tell your husband that you’ll be on the best seller list. Thanks for looking and commenting.

G’day Bryan,
Well worth all the time and effort my man! A lovely pictorial journey around your home town backed up by a very good and informative narrative.
Mine# has also recently been published but I opted for a straight pictorial approach although I now wish I had made a narrative for each photograph.
Once again, a very good job and a special pat on the back for your wife. 8-)

Thanks for looking at my project Dennis. I should be getting the copy in about 10 days—hopefully I won’t find any mistakes missed. I think with this project the narratives added to the book as a whole. With other subject matter it may not enhance the overall impact of the book. Thanks for looking in on me and my projects.
