Picture Book - This is it!

My girlfriend and I are going to make a book together. It's going to be pictures of ours taken of decay in America. Gean is designing it, mostly. Sweet Urban Decay is the title.

It should be done by January or February. I want to be able to collect some more images during my time over winter break.

Cost will be about $30 per book. You may be able to buy it off the website we're using cheaper, but I don't know how to work that yet. We'll see.

Images will be like the pictured example, the fringes of society and the act of decomposition. It will be full color 7inches by 7 inches and nice and full of pretty pictures you can get for free on my flickr. Knowing that, who would be willing to buy a copy? FYI the cost is not to make tons of money, it's just to cover the cost of printing and developing film and stuff. Any extra cash would go towards making more art, not cigarettes or any of that. Honest.

So are you willing to buy this book that I am publishing myself? Self-publication runs the risk of not being able to sell the book, so I was going to only order ten books (about $300.00) but that would put me in a lot of debt. It would help if you would pre-order it. Especially in this economy.

So this is it. And that's it.

Stoopid Girls Dear Stoopid Girls, Here is some prose I found on the internet. Live and Learn. Scientific Fact 8: Your Internet Girlfriend Has Body Image Issues It took her three months to send you a picture when you started dating. You finally saw her, smiling sheepishly, in a photo attached to an email with the subject line "SORRY THAT I'M SO FAT..." No matter how many times you told her she was beautiful she would always object, insisting that if you saw her in real life you would run the other way. Why not meet, you suggested, so that she could see how untrue that was. She was radiant when she picked you up at the airport, a thousand times more beautiful than in the pictures. Her hands shook when you hugged and she apologized for being nervous. A few months later she confessed that she was shaking because she hadn't eaten for nearly three days before you arrived so that she wouldn't look bloated. On her 26th birthday she shrieked when you tried to take a picture of her blowing out the candles. They were carefully arranged on top of a bowl of fruit salad because she doesn't eat cake. You weren't allowed to grab her ass when you fucked or to run your hand along the inside of her thighs. Cellulite. Next week when you leave her she'll cry so much that she will almost choke. You'll walk out anyway because you're tired of tuna for dinner and sex with the lights off. She'll whimper between sobs that she knew she didn't deserve you, she knew you were too good for someone like her, that she's hideous. One day she will meet someone who agrees, someone who will hit her just like her first boyfriend did. http://scientificfacts.livejournal.com/?skip=10
