Appeal to the group mind.

I've got an offer to pitch some books; consumer how to.

So, the two subjects I think myself most likely to be able to write such a tome (or two) are some ideas on cooking, and some on photography.

What topics, in those subject areas, do you 1: see a lack (the photo books will probably have to deal with digital mostly. Feel free to consider aspects of "printmaking" as well. That would include making photos for the web), and 2: think I might have some ideas which would be worth having collected, all in one place.

I'm not sure I can write such a book.

Food photography is a funny thing, and I've avoided it, in the main. A lot of food photography is artifice, and that's not the sort of thing which is easy to contrive on the kitchen table.

I know what you mean about artifice- the prepping of food for photography can render it inedible, from what I've read.

It doesn't necessarily have to be the dishes themselves, but the context in which they're created and presented.

In many ways, your blog is a travelogue and cookbook. I've enjoyed your adventures and the good food that follows them for quite a while. Pictures of the context would add even more to what you write. You've already got the text and the technique. All you need to do is tell us about it- including experiments with photography.
