Subject: [Leica] Panhandle: Fencing the desolate and the prosiac > Here is the latest Texas Panhandle submission: > > http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Bill1941/Panhandle/Halfhouse-0966+Sept+1970.jpg.html Hi Bill, Given the simplicity of producing our own books these days through BLURB or other printing houses, it seems everytime you put a new photograph up from this series it strengthens the viability of becoming a book. >From personal experience. I'd make a full set of perfect quality prints 8.5 X 11 or 11X17 of the strongest photos and start banging on publishing house doors, certainly those in Texas. Write a photographer's preface or a short editorial piece to go with them. You don't have to write tons of text unless you feel you can knock it off well. This is a visual book much like my "Women in Medicine" where the publisher, if they see the viability of a book, would or might assign a writer to fit the pictures. At least the series deserves to be an exhibition in a major Texas gallery some where in the state. Please keep them coming as it's interesting to see as a series and how you've created "art" from the arid sands of time. ted
