the nuts and bolts are of it are thus (if I understand correctly). One needn't commit to buy a book to be involved in it. Buying the actual dead tree book version (and I understad Blurb now has "pad" version of their books available too (perhaps...and cheaper likely...if you're a Paddie-type) is purely optional. Really the vote should center around wether people are willing to have their works submitted to be part of a book to be available for purchase by other photographer's in the SIJ (or people at large.....to benefit said photographers and their favorite website).
I'm already excited to see some 5th wheel shots, some Yale buildings, some eerie black and whites, some cool nights shots, some great food photos, some super saturated shots, some high contrast art, some moody black and whites, some gorgeous landscapes, some "drive-by" shots.... and a whole lot more. It's funny to me that I don't "know" any of you, but you have ALL made lasting impression on me in 30 days. (or at least your visions have....and really that's all we know of each other).
