SoFoBoMo - at the crossroad

 SoFoBoMo crossroad
Start/End date:
Need to shift the start date from 2nd April to 14th April [upcoming travel during the first two weeks in April], and the end date to 14th May.

Book format:
Adobe PDF Presentation.
A painless approach is to output the photos and text via PSCS to a PDF Presentation. Lots of little small tweaks possible. File size, though, does become massive unless I opt to compress JPG but that will probably result in too much of a compromise on image quality. Will probably still do one full resolution PDF - just for my own use and distribution to friends on a CD.
P.O.D. options.
Have read what others have to say about the various POD options available.....
Decided why not try all or a few of the most popular online Print On Demand services.... what better way to find out the ins, the outs and the final quality of the printed book? Will give it a shot with 3 - Lulu, Blurb and MyPublisher and will try document all/any issues for each process and also a final analysis of the finished product.

Color or B&W:
I prefer to do one other the other and not mix the two. But I have not decided on this yet. It will be dictated by subject matter.

Theme:
Do I need a theme? Probably yes. But i could just go out and SHOOT and then decide if the lot fit into some sort of a «theme» or story..... Not a very good idea since my SoFoBoMo process is supposed to be about trying to structure and discipline myself into starting and completing a predetermined path. Will put some more thought into this aspect of the project over the next couple of weeks.

I used that photo here because Achtung looks like he is:

A] LOST at the crossroad!
B] Going to be SICK!

Like me.
