He uses an ordinary consumer digicam (don't know which one) . The books are print-on-demand (not necessarily Blurb) made in editions of 20, and each book is shot in one day to give a thematic continuity to the set. I'm assuming he's going for something really high quality since he comes from an 8x10 background and is a well-established artist. I think print-on-demand is going to really change the way a lot of people work. I'm already working on a second book for the gallery I worked with for the "Shoe Two" book on Nathan's list. We're just now trying to come up with a concept to extend what we have done before. "Shoe Two" has only sold <50 copies that I know of but it's giving us ideas. One woman bought 10 for Christmas gifts to friends. -- Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 505-262-4085
