In search of a photo book

Jeff Revell of Photo Walk Pro is on the search for a good photo book and he is taking his readers along. If you have considered making a photo book, but aren't sure where to start, this is the place. Here are his articles on the services he has used so far. I will update this post with any additional sites reviewed.

Photo Projects

It seems that photo projects are picking up steam around the web and that is a good thing for all photographers who have a web presence. Projects give you a push in new directions out of your comfort zone and then after all your hard work you get to see the submissions from all the other participants. Here are a couple of upcoming photo projects.

It Ain't What You Got - Neil Creek is challenging you to put down your fancy DSLR and in his words "take the best photo you can with the worst gear you got." Only have top of the line equipment? Buy a disposable camera! (Deadline fast approaching: January 23rd)

Trevor Carpenter has a current and an upcoming challenge at his website PhotoChallenge.org. First the 2008 challenge to take one photo a week of your community. Trevor says "I’m not looking for your best shot from your weekly photowalk. I’m looking for a thoughtful image representing your community from that week."

He has also released details for the February Challenge, Color Theory.

Get shooting.
