Another Pass at a Book Design

Might be able to do this in Blurb, but no serious/real publishers are interested in doing a book. I find this so frustrating. There are so many crap photo books out there, but I can get nothing! Feel like I am letting my subjects, the people who trust me, down.

Here is the opening page text, not sure I will use it and a few pages of possible imagery. Thinking of something small and cheap 20 photos or so.

I don’t like to talk about myself so I won’t. The people in the pictures are all that matters. I chose to use the pseudonym “Yaum” for that same reason. The subjects who allowed me into their important lives to tell their forgotten stories, should be the only ones credited and remembered. Thank you for taking the time, to learn about their stories.

Note* Might try handing out some free copies to galleries, thou I think these will run $40 a book, so expensive. Maybe a PDF version?
