reciproCity - my first street photography book

[Kolame]

I’ve once read a text of you, it was about in stylistic devices in photography, I think. I enjoyed it, as I knew some pictures of you, as I know the article, I was glad to see them once more.
Honestly great!

I don't know why/how I missed your photos until now -- but your book is very, very good. Congratulations!

Fascinating book!
It's a pity that the BLURB preview doesn't come out larger - or at least it didn't for me!
I don't know Berlin - I presume that is where most if not all the photos were taken. My first thought was that I wished there had been some captions on the left hand page. Thinking further I'm not too sure now what they would or could have added. Did you consider this idea and then discard it?
I'm struggling with my second BLURB book and find what you have done helpful and very interesting.
I think it's a good book - a lot of effort, but well worthwhile.

jesse,
yes the photographs are a body of work of roughly 1.5 years, putting it all together in the book was actually done within one evening/night, ~8 hours I think.
I did consider captions on the left blank page, but instead I just put a list of the places I've been to on the last page so that you have the geographical information, but no direct bias towards single pictures.

Hi, congrats, the collection is neat and beautiful.

Hope get one!

Excellent work, Simon. Your book is well worth buying.

Love that name, nice choice.

Pics are great!
If I wouldn't have spent a lot of money on camera stuff lately, I'd have bought it right away.
For now I might stick with your blog.

Regards
Oliver

2nd copy sold now, thank you so much =)

I just bought 2 copies for my family, can't wait to see it myself.

QUESTION:
I thought I might make an 'economy' version of the same book: smaller, no premium paper, no lustre finish etc., would anyone actually be interested in that because he/she can't afford it how it is now?

My copy arrived yesterday. Great book!

I haven't done anything with print on demand yet but plan to at some point. Did you do anything with respect to white/black points for the images in the book (or anything else to make sure the photos looked as intended?). A few of the darker shots seem more detailed when I look at the versions you posted online. I'm not sure which look matches your intent. 🙂

I have never held a blurb book before, I tried to make the photos submitted for the book a little brighter, but it's hard to compensate if you don't know how much, so I was expecting a little darker results. I hope they still look good and the book came out without miss-printing (as apparently happens with blurb at times)?

thank you very much!
