Finally having accomplished my rather modest goal of selling 30 NYC Flickrati book, I got to thinking what a good followup would be. On one hand, I would like the next project to be larger in scope. Much larger, in fact. Thanks to the competative pricing at lulu.com, I figured I could probably print a 100 page book and still keep it very affordable. The problem is imagining the chaos of trying to manage 90 contributors, much less keep all those pictures in order and correct format. It was really hard just dealing with 23 photographers and 33 pages. The solution that I've hit upon is a showcase style book, with 4 prints from each contributor. The twofold problems are picking a unifying theme to tie the book together, and the fact that I would be limiting the number of photographers featured to a mere 20. I've got an idea to feature an additional 10 people, but it seems a little too little. The largest problem, however, is the legal ramifications. I ran the last book under my own name, as I couldn't really afford to incorporate or insulate myself legally from the work. I sometimes envy projects like JPG Magazine, which can seemingly afford the resources to not worry about the legal issues. For myself, a single consultation with representation would probably wipe me out. And so things have be done very carefully, so carefully in fact that it might be better not to do it at all. Which would be a shame. *shakes fist at lawyers*
