Are You Interested?

Are you interested in this photo book? We’re trying to get a good idea of the demand for this book. Here’s a few points to ponder:

  • Price: about $80 or so.
  • Photos/Photographers: There’s a list of them on the photographers page
  • The Beauty: Each photo was chosen specifically for this issue’s theme, “Old”. These photographers are outstanding, and typically charge nothing to use their photos.
  • The Cause: Each photographer will, for probably the first time, receive $1 per photo per book. The limited-run of printing only 50 books guarantees a rarity. The idea behind this project is to simply give credit and validation to these brilliant photographers.
  • Sharing (The Story): These books will hopefully be a talking point around your coffee tables. Share the story of how these books were created and behind each photograph.

  2. If I had the money I’d definitely be interested. But for now, I’m interested in getting on that list of photographers!

  3. Hah! Yes, see, that’s another great side effect to this all. I think it would be awesome to be a little more “people vote for the photos” in the future.

    Thanks for the comment Brian. :)

  4. I posted this at http://oblogn.com to help spread the word. I think it’s a cool idea. One of my buddies commented:

    “I think it’s a great idea. I also think you could do a more specific topic. For example you could do one National Park, one city or area, metal, stone, orange, lights, reflections, life in a trailer park…”

    He makes a great point here. The more narrowly focused you make this the more likely there are folks who will shell out $80. What I mean is topics can be: “San Diego”, “Sao Paolo”, etc. If you did a “Chapel Hill, NC” or “UNC” book I would be much more likely to buy than the topic “old”. More niche = more value to a smaller market.

  5. Aaron/Roebot,

    Thanks for conveying that suggestion. It’s brilliant and I think I’ll definitely try to do that if we sell out of this book (aka continue with the project).

    I appreciate it. It’s great advice.
