Scrapbooker.

So it's been a while since I've written in here, and although I am once again back in London and once again travelling (albeit not as frequently - Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Cinque Terre done and Scotland, Morocco, Wales and Shanghai in the works) - my main project now is something called Project 365 - taking 1 photo a day, everyday. I started this on January 2010 and hopefully by the end of the year I'll have a collection of things to remind me of the crazy, the normal and the pretty days of London (and any other country I happen to be in). The pictures will then be printed in a book with the title:

twenty ten
1 camera (hopefully, assuming I don't drop this one down a set of cement stairs like I did the last one)
10 countries (maybe more?)
32 people (based on the number of people I tag in these pictures)
365 pictures.
one year.

I guess I could also post each days pictures here (I'd be about 50 days behind already though) .. and that would be really be doubling up so if you want to see some interesting daily photos - check them out on my Facebook!

Each days photo w/ the caption (which I'll admit, I make pretty descriptive and lengthy so they almost double as a mini journal entry for each days happenings) will be compiled into a book that will be my SECOND Blurb book to date.

Which leads me to my other project I am currently working on....


...to finally finish and get printed is my FIRST 440 page Blurb coffee table book. I'm having real difficulty actually submitting it and coming to terms with a FINAL draft because I want to make sure it is absolutely something I am IN LOVE with before getting it in hard copy.

For your viewing pleasure, here are a few of the pages screen shotted out. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated, but don't make it too different -- I would hate to have to go back now and reformat 440 pages of photos and text due to an amazing suggestion. ;)

Enjoy!

I promise I'll update again this week as there has been tons of random cool things happening
