Headed to the evil twin's to chat but also to ask what the Sackville snapper has that I don’t photographically.
-You don’t market yourself. How much do you spend on those cards you send out?
He then proceeded to list people who have published books for less.
To make matters worse in the Flower Studio window in the Hotel Newfoundland saw the book of a photographer up here that I know – puts the blurb/lulu stuff to shame.
The twin mentioned that I like books why not go all out.
Point taken it will be a contest to see who can procrastinate more on his book me or the minor CBC presenter.
i realise when i got a note from the post office asking what was wrong and that they missed me, and when harney was wonedering where the snaps were that so far i am imitating those “novelists” and cbc presenters who lurk in taverns saying their are working on their manuscript when in truth nothing is happening outside of the stock in the guinness group rising. i have been saving money as nothing has been going out but i also was no closer than the book of the people of the navegatio.
i have been stifled by a number of things. i was lucky with the colour snaps in the layout when i did the real clarke’s beach and not wanting to copy the formula have been trying to find a way to change it. with the cards i changed the layout yearly sometimes with modifications along with way. with the now comatose column - my fault, i made minor changes but none of them would work in a page layout.
i find the number of people daunting. it seemed with rolls of film and a darkroom, i was never really aware of the amount of people i document - well until about this time in the year when i would do a mad dash to get them all in before the next group. like climbing everest but never looking at the summit, i could see progress but not how far i had to go. with digital files i see the mountain - all the mountain - with the summit in there someplace and have had a hard time starting.
not true. have started a good six times now and stopped as the idea looked lame.
translation from the postcards using the formula from last year. but what background image should i use as i cannot use a map again.
loosen up the design a bit by not following anyone rigidly so that if i want a bled image so be it, a background image, fine. this is the way to go.
but the text. the succinct snarky statements don’t seem to fit anymore as most aren’t strangers anymore and the one’s that were, spent much more time chatting this time. it wasn’t simply a “lovely day” “yes b’y”.
thought of smothering the borders with text being as verbose as needed going into length the conversations we had.
well, halfway through this solution i decided that i was using the text as filler and , i have decided to go simple but now thinking two volumes. people of the navegatio in one, the land in the other. the only texts would be names and locations. sounds good so far if i can keep this resolve through the process...
