[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Bulb books are great. They just don't put you in the category of "published photographer". If this category is not valued by you or are the people on this list that great! It has no value. But trust me being a published photographer or writer in the real world packs a lot of weight and this has long been the case; and its not generally a matter of any contention or controversy. But I suppose I can only speak for me. When I come out with a Bulb book I'm going to value it very highly. Love it. But when a publishing company puts out a book of my work that will be a much bigger deal by a factor of many decimal points. It would be a major milestone of my or any photographers life. I'm sorry but this is only common sense.
