Our Japan trip in a book, using BookSmart and Blurb

Yay, our book has finally arrived!
After Bram and I came back from Japan I set out to gather our photos into a book as soon as possible. In fact we always plan to do this, but never get around to it. So I promised myself this time would be different and I thought using Blurb might help.

First some stats:
– Made 2838 photos in only 2 weeks. Crazy, but loved it!
– Selected 658 of those to process. This includes Bram’s groovy moves, promise I’ll show those off in another post later.
– And 472 of those made it into the book. I know, a LOT.

This makes for a total of 150 pages. Photos only, no text. Seems I need to sharpen my editing skills a bit more. It is almost impossible to sift through your own pictures and stay objective. Kind of like having gangrene and the doctor makes you choose which limb to chop off. Kind of, sorta.

Here is a preview of the final result. My thoughts on Blurb below.

City2surf

Dat zou me nog een beter startrecht (meer vooraan) opleveren volgend jaar. Mijn t-shirt is blauw, wie kan mij spotten in de foto hieronder? 😉
