Sometimes....


Rainy Saturday here in Georgia, so sorting the week’s pictures ahead of some work later, and was surprised at how well this one came out. Rare is the photo that I intentionally set up — but Coke Glass satisfies on lots of levels:

Forgive. It’s not even necessarily something that would make a great book cover — just wanted to share.

Sunday update: Took this one early Saturday morning (hadn’t gotten to when I wrote the above) — and would love to make it into a book cover:

First Friday: At the Table

At the Table. Big thank you to philosophy professor Dr. Creighton Rosental for his patience in setting up the above photo. Think it’s a good, philosophical result.…

Hi, Id like to know, how does one become a book designer anyway? What type of courses must one take in order to be a book designer?

Hi Tuesday! Some nice stuff on your blogs — in fact, going to steal the “miserable artist” item for a post tomorrow or Tuesday. Thanks…;)

I can’t speak for others, but I did a long post (too long for many) on how I got to this point back in January.

Judging only by your stuff online, I’d say that you’ve got the eye — arguably the most important part of this job. Just a matter of taking those next steps…!

Thanks for your question. Please keep stopping by, and please keep us informed on your journey.

The cigarette guy looks much better bigger. Love this shot. I can totally see it in my mind as a book cover, album cover, etc.

Do you always shoot thinking of a cover?
