Now that I'm home, I've been going through my thousands of photos, reliving the adventure. On the suggestion of Val, whom I had traveled with in Cambodia, I decided to make photobooks. One book per month. 16 books total, once I have all my photos(my laptop has been recovered and is in the safe hands of my friend Steve).
So here's the first! November/December of 2010

Ah just went through it all... I love it. I wanna make something like this when I am done traveling.
ReplyDeleteWaaa! I wasn't able to view it directly on your site, but did manage to take a peek by clicking through to the Blurb site.
ReplyDeleteIn a word: Beautiful!
But looks like LOTS of work to edit/put it together. I believe there's lots of sites to make a book from your entire blog - instantly. Have you checked any of those out?
@Jaime - Thanks stud! It's definitely fun and a great way to relive the entire trip all over again. Plus it's a better way of showing people photos than just sitting them in front of a computer as you click through to find the best ones.
ReplyDelete@Dyanne - Thanks for the compliment! This is just the first book. I've made two more since and I am finding that the more I work with the program, the more creative and fun I am becoming in regards to layout and such.
It is a lot of work. Each book is taking me almost a month to finish, but that's also a product of not working on it everyday. Blurb does have the option to just pull your whole blog and place it into book fashion, and I plan to do that eventually. However, with the photos, I don't mind putting in all this time and effort into it. It's like a labour of love!
