“16 Days In Red Wing”

Here’s the finished book!

I have 48 of them in my possession right now. I’ll have 12 more shortly, and I’ll make the final 40 when there’s enough demand. The edition (if you can add) is capped at 100 books. All books are signed and numbered by me. Right now, I’m selling them for $45, which is a steal! (Add $5 if you’d like me to ship it to you.)

Also, in case you missed it, I had another piece in the NY Times Magazine this past weekend. That makes 3 pieces in the last 4 months.

Two Big Things

#1: So, as far as I know, I’ll have another piece in the New York Times Magazine this Sunday. So check it out.

#2: My book is being bound! Last night, I laid out 48 books. The total edition will be 100, but I don’t have all of those done yet. It’s a good thing we have a dining room table with 4 leaves:

I should have these books back by Tuesday. So check back mid-week and see how everything turned out. Have a good weekend!

Check the NY Times on Sunday

I think I’ll be having another piece in the NY Times Magazine on Sunday. I’m not 100% sure. I think they’re going with it. Have a look, and try to find my name on an image in an article about sustainable farming practices.

Getting Closer...

So I met with my designer a few more times, and the book design is complete. I actually produced my first hard copy (bound and all) about a week and a half ago. There were some issues with the cover, but I can alter that when I do the final run.

Tomorrow, I plan to start some printing. Look what I brought home with me this morning:

That’s 39 boxes of paper. Nearly 2000 sheets. Lemme at em.

Give me 2 weeks, and I hope to have this book ready for sale. Check back shortly! Happy Winter!

In Progress...

I've been working with my designer, and doing a lot of work in my head, and I'm getting closer to having my Red Wing book ready for printing and binding.

Proof? Here's the InDesign file being tweaked (for the um-teenth time):

I'm hoping to have this book out in the next month. We'll see how it goes. Stay tuned!!

New York Times Magazine: “What Every Child Needs”

This past weekend, The New York Times Magazine contained one of my images for a story about pre-school. Here’s how it appeared in the magazine:

They also used a nice detail of this image on the table of contents page. If you subscribe to the newspaper and your magazine is still laying around from this past weekend, have a look-see. Thanks!

New York Times Magazine THIS WEEKEND

So, it’s a go! Clinton, someone in the photo department of the Times who I hadn’t worked with before, took over for Stacey when she took a day off. I sent him that image (from the previous post) a week ago, and he told me a few days ago to send an invoice. My understanding of it is that it will be used in a photo essay about Preschool. It will be used in the story AS WELL as in the index page. We’ll have to see how it looks.

So go purchase a New York Times Newspaper this weekend and check out the magazine. Stay warm out there!

Times? Maybe?

I may be having another image in the NY Times Magazine sometime shortly. I received a call yesterday from Stacey Baker, and she liked one of my images but didn't want to use that one. So she asked what else I had like it. I scanned a handful of contact sheets and e-mailed them to her within the hour. They like this image:

But they don't know if they'll end up using it. It would be for a story/photo essay about pre-school. We'll see...
