Digital BW, The Print

I made my own book using my printer and Pictorico Dual Side paper (about 10 mils thick). 
Most of the pix are B&W.

Size is 4 3/4 x 7 3/4. It was designed to fit in my back pocket.  A lot of times when I'm 
shooting on the street people will ask me what I'm doing, or why am I taking their picture. 
Rather than explain street photography (kind of difficult), I just show 'em my book. 
Everything is fine then. A nice ice-breaker.


I took some photos of my book, and put it into an online presentation. I'm lousy at 
product photography, but you can get the idea.

Since then I've done a few iPhoto books. They come out nice and are far less labor 
intensive.


Good luck, making your own book is a lot of fun!
