A small bit of advertising

It doesn't do me any direct good, but my father has a book out.

Picture Yourself Getting the Most Out of Your Digital Camera.

It's not a bad primer. My name is on it, but that's not because I had a huge hand in the writing, it's a bit of honest nepotism. I helped with the content of several chapters. It does get me a published credit, but until the one which has my name first I'll refrain from going for the blinky text.

There are some of my pictures in it (elisem Ratty's Wharf is in there, so you are getting a "famous" print. :) which is nice.

Now to finish the proposal for the Macro Book. When I sell it I'll be looking for people who have pictures I can use to illustrate the book (because I don't have the photos to use for everything I need to talk about).

Rights... that was a hassle, but you'd keep them all.

I knew you'd be honorable about the rights.

The trick with photo books isn't the writer, but the publisher. There are those who try to grab rights to "derivative" works from the parent volume.

At which point the images are lost (in terms of value) to the photographer.

This publisher hasn't tried to do that.
