my first book.
i discovered Blurb several months ago and started playing around with it one day while bored at work. they have a really easy-to-use desktop application that allows you to design your own book and then upload it to their website where you can order printed copies. because i’m basically obsessed with Polaroid photography, i decided to put together a short book using some of my instant photography that i have shot over the last year or so. you can tell from the alternating black and white pages that i was inspired by one of my favorite books Fifteen Things Charles and Ray Teach Us. when it was all said and done, i ordered my book hardcover in 8×10 format for about $30 (including shipping). you can also choose to publicize your book via Blurb’s website and make it available for purchase to the public. i doubt that anyone will find my measly collection of Polaroids paired with brief and somewhat indifferent captions amusing enough to buy, but it was a fun process making it for myself. because that is JUST what i need, another coffee table book.
