I started this blog back in 2010 as a fun way for me to share my photos. Since then it became a creative outlet and a timeline of my life. It's something I'm quite proud of and I wanted a way to preserve all the work that I had put into it, which gave birth to the idea of creating a book out of it.
The task of actually creating the book was long and tiresome. Looking back on it I wish I would have taken better care in archiving all my photos because finding all of the full resolution files of the photos I used for my posts was very difficult. There were some photos I actually had to recreate because some of the photos I had done were made specifically for the blog and were not originally meant to be printed.
But after 30+ hours of getting all the photos together, editing the layout, and compiling all of the 85 posts it is finally done and here in my hands. It's a rewarding accomplishment for me and I feel a great sigh of relief that it is done. I had worries about how the first print would come out but it definitely meets my expectations.
The book contains 167 pages, updated edits, previously unreleased photos, and an exclusive bonus photo series entitled "The Shadows", which is a collection I did during my time with shooting black and white film earlier this year. The book cover comes from a photo I took in Baguio, Philippines during my visit there two years ago. There are a total of 190 photos in the book, all of which will have an everlasting value to me.
