Project Process April 13: Amazing News!!

I got my book today!! This whole process has been so amazing and it feels so wonderful to have this after a year of hard work. Because my actual project is done I now have the rest of the time to work on perfecting my powerpoint for the symposium. For the exhibition I have decided I don't want to print out photos, I want to display the actual book on a pedestal or podium because I don't want to lose the text like I would if I just printed out photos.
In the symposium I will be presenting on my process, the stories behind the cats, and some general information about feral cat colonies. I will have my book with me for the presentation so it can circulate around the room.

Progress Post April 8

This seems really scary but my book is completely done and just shipped today. To have worked on something for a whole year and to finally complete it is equal parts satisfying, terrifying, and sad. I will definitely miss working like this with the cats, I will still get to see them and play with them but it wont be the same as creating this book has been. Now the only thing left to do is to finalize my presentation for the symposium.

April 1st meeting reflection

I met with Julie this past Friday to discuss the finalization of my book. I am finished taking all the photos and I just need to order the books. Julie was critical of my layout for the starting pages of each month, she wanted me to just do text on each page. I'm not sure I like that idea, I feel like some of the pictures go with the text on those pages. I'm still worried about the text, making it the best it can be, I don't know if it is enough of a story, or if there should be more. I don't want to put a lot of text though, it is, after all, a photography book.
