Book Design / Natural Lighting



Over the weekend, I discovered an online book editing program,  called Blurb.  It allows you to import images from a number of web locations, as well as your own computer.

I had been looking mainly towards my mothers, family and landscape,  snapshots relating to my childhood.  I thought it fitting in gaining some balance in adding a contemporary element to the natural lighting  project.

All images were taken on my youngest child's (name omitted)  much converted  iPhone S4.  

The purchasing of the iPhone, by said child, was given the go ahead  for two main reasons. 

1. She saved the money for the phone herself.

2. SIRI !   Voice activated technology, in the world of dyslexic-child, priceless.

- small print she had to share... 

The out come was a memory-bank of  snapshots an element that has been missing in our family, for far too long

- lugging around a D90 does not really scream 'spontaneous'.

It was also interesting finding editing programs and web uploading/sharing solutions,  instagr  by far my favorite.

The fact that in answer to public demand publishing companies such as Blurb, work in alignment with  web-based social-networks,  may mean that the family photo-album, is not heading for extinction.
