I just started work on my second book, "Still Life (without the vase)" Well, actually, it's been in the making for many years by now, as I've gone around with whatever camera I had on me and taken photos of things that appealed to me. Thousands of them! From that vast number, I've culled a small number (about 40) to put into a book.
I've wanted to do this since before I started writing a man wearing a dress, but that had to come first. With some advice from a friend, I have submitted a first draft and should be receiving an actual hard cover prototype of the book in a few weeks. I'm likely going to have to adjust the color and order of the photos on the pages after I look at it. After all, what you see on your computer screen is in what they call "RGB color space" and when you print things, they come out in "CMYK color space" instead. Between the two, sometimes colors shift so you can't just print an image and assume that it will look great.
I'm going to issue the book in hard cover on good quality paper, so it's not going to be cheap! And I plan to make "part two," consisting of commentary regarding each photo, available as a PDF on this web site, so you can read about the photos for free, or ignore the commentary if you wish, if you'd like to just let the photos speak for themselves.
Anyway, I'll keep you posted as I make progress!
