>>2984320Hey there, Iggy. You sure love a bit of suffering, eh? I've got some thoughts about the next book.
1) Deliver it as quickly as possible. This is mostly on you and your life but I'd say the end of February should be the latest publishing date. Earlier would be better.
2) To that end, cutoff should be January 15. That leaves enough time for someone who really believes their new year's eve film shots to get their negs developed and scanned.
3) One photo per person. It would cut down tremendously on the size and cost of the book. It also wouldn't reduce the number of people participating in it at all. The purpose of the book should be to demonstrate the talents of the community as a whole, rather than to promote the works of any one photographer. One photo per person does not hinder the overall goal.
4) Curate it. In the long run, I think people care more about the quality of past books than whether or not everyone who submitted got in. The curation process you used a couple years ago worked pretty well, but I would not object to any changes we can come up with to speed up the process.
Thoughts?
