SoFoBoMo Anyone?

[ZannieGirl49]

I'm thinking of doing SoFoBoMo 2010. It's the Solo Photo Book Month where you get a 31 day period to take photos, write text to go along with it (text is optional) and create a pdf of your book. Has anyone done it?

It's not going to be easy but I've got five and a half months to prepare...if that's not enough I figure there's no hope for me! What's great is that it's open to everyone regardless of skill level. Anyone else want to give it a try? Here's the info if you want to check it out:

SoFoBoMo 2009 - gives info about the project and has links to the 2008 books.

Info on SoFoBoMo 2010 - announcement of dates for SoFoBoMo 2010

I guess I'm on my own! No worries, I'm sure I'll be back here asking for advice once I start the project. I'll still give the thread a little bump just in case.

i know one of our super-moderators had a go at it last year,

i'm too busy with other competitions and paid work

Yes, I did it last year, with the subject of Speed Photography. I actually used MyPublisher and printed up a couple books, which I recently updated for some Christmas gifts. A few of the photos that went into my Sofobomo can be seen here

I'll probably participate again this year, time permitting.

Actually, I think I'm up for the challenge. I've got plenty of time to think about what I'm going to do....

Great. Maybe we can compare notes as we get this thing started. This year has passed by so quickly that I'm afraid June will sneak right up on me.

Giving your book as a gift is a great idea. I'm not surprised about your subject for it. Your sign on has become synonymous with speed photography for me and I really enjoy your images. It would be great if you got a chance to do another book this year, I'd love to see what you do with it.

I had a really "didn't get far" sort of go at it last year. I'd come up with my project ideas, but just because of things that were going on with life to keep me busy I never actually got around to deciding on one of the ideas or shooting it. I might try again in 2010. At least I'll think about it.
