Anniversary Book!!! (No images in this thread, please)

[sthan]

Thanks for the update, Bill.

As for the title (agree, this is part of my trade inventing them every day ), why not :

Two Eyes, One Camera

or

105 photographers, Two Eyes, One Camera

or

105 Views, One Camera

or

210 Eyes, One Camera

How does this sound for the back of the title page?


The pictures in this book were taken by photographers from around the world using a Leica M8 rangefinder
Photographic credits for each picture are contained in the Appendix

© Copyright 2008 by the photographers. All rights reserved. Photographs may not be copied or redistributed without the photographer's permission.

I like your back cover idea. The title seems like one photographer did it unless you say something like ManyEyes, One camera.

Thank you for all the hard work you have done on this. It is greatly appreciated.

As for the title, here's my suggestion:


My M8
Leica M Photography in the Digital Era

Bill ...Just Fantastic, thanks for all your hard work.

I should be clearer.

I plan to have only a picture on the front and back covers, no text. Thus, the title of the book will appear only on the spine and cover page.

Therefore, it needs to be short and sweet.

Keep those comments coming.

Regards,

[jeffwros]

Fantastic effort! Hats off to all of you who didn't wait 'til the last minute to submit (and let it pass) like I did!



I'm looking forward to the book's release. Thank you for organizing this project, Bill.

We have 105 photogs - 286 pix - wonderful images, thanks to all.

I will send confirming emails to each of you
1. itemizing the images you have chosen, and
2. reminding you to get releases if you have not sent them yet.

I will then mock up an order of images and run it by a few people who are assisting before posting a proposed order of pictures. You will then have a chance to ask for changes in the order.

Back to the title: I propose calling the book

"Many Views, One Camera"

Please comment, once again.

And thanks to all for cooperation, collaboration, and making images of this level of achievement.

Regards to all,

This seems to one of the best proposal; Bill, your work has been so appreciable that you well deserve the right to choose the title... but if you want to go for a "partecipated chosing" for the title, you can select 3 or 4 and arrange a simple poll between the authors (for instance, as a response to your personal mails)

[sthan]

I agree, Bill : you choose, of course.
Another proposal, if you wish :
Free Eyes
Yours,
Johan

Johan, I really like "Free Eyes." You got any more where that one came from?

[sthan]

"Free Eyes"
Bill, I'm not sure to understand your question about this title.
I just invented it.
If your question is (what we normally do in publishing
business) to check if that title is available, I don't know.
In Europe, before choosing a french title, we have a website where we may
check that. I don't know how it works in english speaking countries.
But I don't suppose it applies for a book which will be not for sale in bookshops.
Hope it helps,
Again, a big hug for all your work.
Yours,
Johan

PS : In french, it would be "L'œil libre", which is not bad.

[sthan]

Bill,
You may also play with the "eye" thing :

Fast Eyes
Open Eyes
Clear Eyes
Wide Open

All these work well also in french and italian (my two other languages).
Yours,
JF

Sorry, Johan, it's an American slang phrase, usually used to compliment someone on their expertise, like "Are there any more like you at home?" In this case, it meant, "Do you have any more of these terrific title ideas?"

Merci beaucoup, i miei amici.

[sthan]

Ha-ha, Bill, tends to prove I still have plenty of room to improve my (american & british) english.
Ossequi saluti, mon cher ami.

It's amazing how musical French and Italian are. That must be why the Americans have to make jokes to get along.

I got your messages and it is ok to publish as all photos public. But I did not see this thread.

Is this OBE? (overcome by events? too late?) or are you still taking images

i will try to get to your resolution but most are more. will you downres?

I can set at 300 and crop to fit if that makes it easier.

I agree with italian.
I'd say french is more harmonic than musical.
In fact, french are not renowned for their music, as you may notice.

[SJP]

Satie, Chopin, Debussy, Messiaen etc. etc.

Victor, you have a post at 121. If you want to add, go ahead -- in the photo thread. I'll be in touch about getting hi-res images from everyone.
