Egyptian Dreams

I had hinted on my facebook fan page that I was going to self publish a book of my photos from Egypt.  And after a bit of a learning curve, it’s ready to see the light of day!

It’s an opportunity for those of you who don’t have enough wall space to devote to all my photos from that lovely country to own them and enjoy them.

Egyptian dreams

Scenes from Across the country of modern Egypt, from the pyramids (the only surviving one of the seven wonders of the world) to the Red Sea, an exploration of the amazing beauty of Egypt’s past and present.

That’s the cover of the book, Egyptian Dreams – following the links to it will give you a chance to preview some of the interior of the book as well as front and back covers.  I’m really happy with how it turned out.

Let me take the opportunity to say how entirely responsive the support people at Blurb were throughout the process.  That along with feedback from others I know who have worked with them is why I’m confident enough to print my book through them.  And the copy I have looks brilliant to me!

Still, if any customer has an issue with the quality of their book, please let me know the details as well.

All the details of the book can be found here – if you have any questions, please let me know!

Atlanta Black And White Photography Show

Hello all!

I’m participating in another show as part of the Atlanta Castleberry Hill art stroll this Friday night.  Unfortunately I will not be there myself as I will be with my folks over the weekend, but I helped with the set up for the show last night and there’s some truly great work in the show.   I don’t envision photos in B&W easily, but I love the results.  I struggled coming up with an entry, but submitted this:

Above The Rest

There are over 30 artists participating with a total of around 60 works plus tons of matted prints for sale.  Perfect opportunity to shop for some art for holiday gifts or for yourself!
Here’s the website for the show, which includes a map.

Nothing new to share for the moment.  Although two weekends ago, I spent a day in the mountains taking in the fall color.  I just haven’t had time to post any of it.  If you’re ever looking for some place truly beautiful for a day trip out of Atlanta, I now highly recommend Tallulah Gorge!

Happy Thanksgiving and take care!

Quite interesting news from Imagekind yesterday as they have partnered with Flickr. As a casual user of flickr and someone actively advertising my prints gallery at imagekind, this is very interesting news.
