I started this thread so the details are easy to find for that that have not read the thread. Date: June 14th, 2008. Time: anytime during the 24 hours of June 14th Theme: Your Day Explanation: Carry a camera with you that day and capture images of your day. they can be funny, serious, strange, happy, odd or whatever you want. I would prefer they not be photoshopped but that would be up to you. They do not have to Disney related but they can be if you want them to bed. They do not have to be an activity. If you see an cool looking flower, that could work, or maybe some art or whatever you see and od that day. Please send photos and questions to: lplife08@gmail.com Please include your screenname in the e-mail subject so that I can easily find you. Every person that sends in photos will get at least 1 photo in the book. Some may get more depending on what is sent in. Please keep them photos family friendly. Any submissions sent in that I find questionable I will not use. Cost: The books will be $30 shipped. This will cover the cost of the book to be printed, packaged and shipped. I will post when I have a payment method worked out. I am trying to set up a seperate accouont in Paypal just for this so I can keep it seperate from my own stuff. Also, I will try to get a version of the book printed so that I have previews for everyone before I place a large order. Any questions, please let me know. If you want to help out please let me know as well. Also, I need a logo/cover design if someone wants to work on something for me. I know there are a bunch of graphic artists on here. thanks for looking and hopefully this works out.

I'd like to get a better feel for what you're seeking. Is it beautiful photos? or photos that represent our lives? or just a collection of "taken by LP'ers" pictures? Do you want captions/explanations with the submissions?

Originally Posted By peeaanuut that would be fine too. that is exactly the kind of stuff I want. I dont want anyone to go out of their way to get good pictures. If your drywalling than take some pics of you guys doing that. Hopefully smiling or covered in drywall dust or whatever. lol. I am designing my wedding invitations in the morning so there will be some shots of that I am sure.

Originally Posted By peeaanuut photos only. I wont be doing any text accept for maybe location. You also dont need to do a whole photjournal. it could just be one photo you took that day or a series or a bunch of random photos. Its very free form. The photos with the best overall emotional value will be picked first. Whether that be humor, sadness, seriousness, etc......
Originally Posted By peeaanuut oops forgot to add. If you want to tell me a little bit about the photos it might help me to understand what you are shooting. But that would be for my own information in understanding the photos.
Originally Posted By Liberty Belle How cool! I've just come across this and will definitely be carrying my camera with me, whatever I get up to ... Can the books be shipped internationally for an extra fee? I'd love to get a copy!
Originally Posted By peeaanuut Yes they can. What I am going to end up doing is getting one book shipped to me and figure out a packaging scheem. Than when I set up the buy page it will be the cost of the book and whatever the fee is to your local based upon rates set at the time. Make sense? So the actual cost of the book should be less than $30 now but your shipping might put it over $30 based on your local. I am still working on those details but since I use paypal alot I will try to figure out a way to do it through there.
