Taj Mahal – a photographers approach
I’m in the process of writing a book. It’s pretty short really, around 20 pages, but it deals with ‘approach’, how we interact with a landscape.
Judging by the title of the book, you may be forgiven for thinking it’s all about making images of the Taj Mahal, and you’d be right, as well as wrong. The book touches many things involved with approach. How we interpret what we are presented with and how we deem to capture what we see. So as much as it is about the Taj Mahal, I’m really using that location to illustrate some aspect of how I make my images.
I aim to have it completed in a week or so, and i’m going to distribute it through one of the eBook publication sites. Do any of you have any experience of them and which ones you prefer or think I should avoid?
Hi Bruce,
I have no previous experience from a publishing perspective, but from a user point of view I would avoid Lulu.com. Their e-commerce “experience” is really bad. Happy writing.

Bruce,
David duChemin uses http://www.craftandvision.com/ to distribute his e-books. I have had straightforward and gratifying experiences with them. Your work would add even greater quality to their catalog.
Richard.

Thanks guys, I’ve not heard many good things about Lulu, so I’ll have a wee scout about craftandvision.com. Thanks for the info :-)

Bruce I posted this question on my Facebook page which has about 2,000 photographers from all over. I sure some of them will have some feedback for you. I’ll leave a comment when I get feedback…. all the very best to you. Cheers Steve
