Tips > Make a Book

The above photograph is from The Pencil of Nature, the first book published with photographs.

I love the sense of the package, a traveling idea.

Someone can pick it up and the idea can explode in their face.

The book is a perfect vehicle for photography.

Photography reveals itself between the covers.

Photography, perhaps more so than the other arts, fits into books physically and emotionally.

A book can be held, which is physical, of course.

However, there can be an emotional dimension to this, as well.

Being seated, with the art in your hands, is a different experience, than is art hanging on a wall.

Also, a book can:

• Have a large quantity of work.

• Be arranged sequentially.

• Have a beginning and an end.

• Be accessible, cost wise, and for repeated viewings.

Many online labs offer books of good quality and a reasonable price.

You can also make your own book.
