blog note: SINCE I MISTAKENLY DELETED MY LAST ENTRY, I'll mention again that there is a new gallery, CORONAVIRUS LIFE, on my WORK page.

ALSO WORTH A MENTION IS THE FACT that I have made a photo book with the pictures in the CORONAVIRUS LIFE gallery. The original intention was to make the book on Shutterfly, which I did, but when I put it in my checkout cart, the discounted price for 8x8", 38 page book was over $100USD. Admittedly, the book had a number of "premium" add-ons such 6-color printing, lay-flat pages, matte cover and the deletion of the Shutterfly logo page but...at that price, I decided to wait for one of their 50% off everything sales, which, btw, come along quite frequently.

In any event, I still wanted a photo book so went to PARABO.PRESS and set up a similar book-8x8" with 38 pages and a soft cover-which priced out at $18USD. So, I ordered 2.

FYI, without actually counting, I have about 12 8x8" photo books + about 10 5x5" photo books from PARABO. Those books are all soft cover and the pages are a heavy-weight matte paper. The print quality is quite good and I especially like the matte paper look for my "snapshot" pictures.

One of these days, if enough of you out there are interested, I will do an entry in which I give away all of photo book making "secrets".
