Today I finalized the book. Now I need to edit it to truly finalize it. I should order three copies on Saturday. I am already thinking of interesting ways to stack them on top of each other at the presentation. I’ve always said ‘presentation is the key to any presentation.’ It sounds rock-brain dumb but try it once, it’ll work wonders for you.
I sent the text to my dad for him to edit.
I’ve had to cut out a few photos that would have pushed the book out of the 20-40 page price bracketing. Its sad to see them go, but they live on inside my computer.
Once I finish the book and order it, it is on to making prints to get matted for display at the presentation. I need to go by the Fr. Christopher room where I am presenting and check out the lighting. You’d be surprised how much the lighting in an environment can make or totally break a print. Stephen Johnson (I reference him a lot, I just realized) had a photo up in a gallery and it was totally pink because of some bad lighting.
I might even get those little book reader lights and clip it to the matt so my audience can see the prints even during my powerpoint when the lights are down.
On to the weekend.
I like that, “Presentation is the key to presentation.” (5/5)
