The gallery is over but....

Well the gallery is over but I am going to schedule another one for sometime next summer. I will be working the next 9 months to get 30 - 40 new images ready for the next gallery. Its not a ton of work but if I don't get started soon I will forget until next summer then it will be a lot of work. Ahhh, but I am working on my next endeavor. I am currently doing research for a Photo Essay book that I would like to have published. I have wanted to do a photographic essay book for some time now but I didn't have a good topic for one. My wife has inspired me with a topic that I think will make a great book. At this point I am just beginning to start the research that will bring me the subjects of the book. Today was my first official day of research and I think I may have come across the one contact that could help me really get this book started. I am excited to see where this goes from here. This is my first attempt at doing a book so I am learning as I go. I am not sure what it will take to actually get it published but I am going to take it one step at a time. I am sorry that I can't go into detail about the book but until I get it started and have a firm grip on exactly where I am going to go with it, I don't want to say to much. I also would like to have a publisher lined up before I give out too many details. I have read that it could cost as much as $15000.00 dollars to have book published. That is if I self publish it. I don't know exactly how it works with a publishing firm, but I have read that they only pay 8% royalties to the author. That isn't much when you know how much it costs them. As I said before this is my first attempt and I am going to take it one day at a time. If you are reading this and you know of a good publisher that I could contact, let me know. Well gotta go got a lot of research still to do before I go to bed.
