Buzznet Book

okay, I've done it!  I've ordered a Buzznet Book!  56 pages, to include all 336 of the photos I've uploaded so far, except for those that I've put into "communities" (which I have stopped doing because they seem to get lost like this).  Anyway, I love this idea of making a photo album of my Buzznet photos.  Most of them are among my favorites, or else I wouldn't have uploaded them.  I sent the book directly to my mom and dad in Massachusetts, so I'll have to wait a bit before I see it.  I'll be out there on the 12th of August, so the wait won't be too long. 

The photos are organized in album order, just like on this site, so all of the similar photos are grouped the same.  I kept 12 of them in my top gallery just so I'd have better control over the first two pages.  I'm not sure how the cover photos are selected, but I like the way it has turned out.  I decided to include only the captions, not the more wordy descriptions, because the descriptions seemed to have too large of an effect on the photo sizes.  With only the captions in place, all of the landscape photos seem to be the same size, and the portrait-oriented photos seem to be a bit smaller.  It might be nice to have an option of rotating the portrait-oriented photos just for these albums, so they'd print out the same size.  That's how it would look in a traditional photo album, as I recall.

Well, I'll let you all know how it looks once I see it.  Can't wait!

I really want to try out this feature too, I'd love to give my mom in law a copy as she really loves visiting the "farm" on line and can only do so at work.

What an impressively well thought out book you've assembled, pipilo. Looking forward to hearing all about it!

I get to see it tomorrow night, and will report back as soon as I get back online. We'll be at a house with no phone, no TV, no internet (yikes!), and no radios. At least we have electricity and running water! :)

I'm a little disappointed not to have gotten any feedback from the recipients (my parents). I guess they've been busy...

Okay, now Mom says it looks great. She's seen the photos already, of course, but it's nice to have them archived. :)

I got mine. I like it a lot. The print quality is not perfect, granted, but I adore having hard copy of my "favorite shot" gallery. I have it on my office coffee table...a real vanity project. Let me know what you think.

I've been thinking of making a few. One with my kids graduation photos. Another couple for racing teams with pics of their cars and team members.. for xmas.

I checked for the heck of it how much it would be to include all my photos.. it was over $300 for the book. I don't think I'll do that :>
