Paul, this is indeed a wonderful example and inspiration what can be accomplished when one is willing to accept limitations and work within chosen constraints (I am usually not willing…)

You present a wonderful body of work here. What I learned from this project up to now is that added value of a completed work instead of pure shooting can be multiplying the pictures’ value.

Nice going Paul! And great iamges.

I’ve too been wondering what software or which POD service I’d use for the “book”… and had tested out exporting JPGs from PSCS3 to a PDF directly. Is is easy and worked great. A link to the PDF is at:

How great is that!? I have been fretting about how I will do this book in a month when I have such limited time, but you have reinvigorated my enthusiasm. I like the concept and the execution.

Great exercise Paul. I like the collection of shots you put together. I have often wondered if InDesign is a worthwhile investment if I should ever try to do something like this. I have wanted to explore e-books for quite some time now, just haven’t put the time into it.

What a great way to warm up! Just downloaded it and enjoyed working through it Paul. First pass impressions – love the form colors and movements in the shots you chose. Second pass impression – not quite sure I understand the ordering/bleeds etc, but as a test vehicle for Scribus capabilties – makes sense. After your SoFoBoMo project, I hope you come back to it and create a derivative — 1′ (1 prime?)

Andre: You know, I’m tempted to tweak “One” a bit, but that would destroy the whole purpose of it. I guess that I can make a copy of it, call it something else, and make the layout, colors, text, etc. the way that I want. Maybe when I have some free time, I’ll do that and post the final result. SoFoBoMo starts in a couple of days!

“Andre, youâ€™ll get no argument out of me about the placement. I still have a few things to decide on, like the final size, full-bleed pictures, or borders, mix of color & B&W, etc.”
I am looking forward to see the final result

Paul, I had already taken this post quite personally. It seemed precisely tailored to address my time concerns. Thanks a million for shining a light down the path.

What you have achieved here, especially considering the time limitations you have set yourself, is quite simply, stunning.
well done and what a great idea.
