SoFoBoMo in May

For those keeping track, you may have noticed that I have not been writing about my SoFoBoMo experiences. That’s because I don’t have any yet!  I’m part of that procrasting group that will be starting on May 1st.

I have my calendar blocked out for an intensive 5 day shoot and after which I wil be working out the image bugs and tweaks and then loading them into the final book format. I will probably be spending the first week, if not more, working out my series concept and writing my introduction. That may get me the most anal award and even eclipse Butzi!

I’m still working out some book design things with Blurb which I hope to share later this week. There is some hope;- )

Best regards, Doug

Urban Landscape and Place

While reading Gohlke’s writings about Landscape and Place, I recalled that I had another book in my stacks also titled Place, by Aaron Siskind. Siskind’s book was published by Light Gallery in 1976 and had his photographs mostly from the early 1970’s, but the Introduction by Thomas Hess was very interesting regarding the concepts of Landscape and Place.
