Hey Bob yer on a roll old buddy! :-)

As crazy as some may think, this could evolve into quite an interesting 
book! Get a few more benches equal or better and you may well find some kind 
of funding available from west coast State tourism offices. Or other "art 
funding" organizations.

Washington, Oregon, California and once you have those states done, you 
might have a shot at the East coast or around the Gulf of Mexico. Then a 
wild shot at walk ways along the coast lines of the Great Lakes. But there's 
probably an endless number of like locations on the west coast for a stand 
alone book itself!! So what are you waiting for? Get yer buns out there as 
we want to see a book! :-) I'm serious!

But you need a dozen or so finished images about 13X19 in size to get it 
rolling when you show the concept to a publisher. Certainly a west coast 
publisher who could see this as a great book for the tourism market.

So OK does this mean we now have "TWO PHOTOS" to trade? " :-)

I have seen very interesting and well selling books already published...

"Outhouses of Nova Scotia"

"Door's"
Both of these are more than interesting photography using simple subjects, 
but nothing to touch your "Benches!"

This photograph is as magical as the first, if not more so and I'm quite 
serious of the book potential!

Now this book concept is out there in the great cyber world, I'd bet if you 
don't move yer buns and get it on a roll real quick..... "YOU WILL FIND 
SOMEONE ELSE WENT RIGHT AT IT AND LEFT YOU BEHIND!" :-(  And if that happens 
their material wont hold a candle to your beautiful images!

Besides you've got hopefully great summer weather ahead of you, so make it a 
project every awaking moment you can!

Cheers,
ted
