Title: Peregrine Project Photo Book
Post by: des on July 01, 2009, 11:25
Thank You so much for sharing your gift of photography Dennis. It is very much appreciated! Wonderful pictures as usual from you.
I'm wondering, Dennis, if you have thought of creating a book of your photography of falcons or perhaps manitoba birds of prey??  photos with captions only, or as part of a study of the birds.  I think it would be absolutely terrific!!

What a GREAT, idea, des! I, for one, would certainly buy it! And maybe we could hike up the price a bit, so it could also be a bit of a fund-raiser for the Project! ;D Just thinking out loud, Dennis! ;) BOT, not too much happening on the nestledge at present. All are chillin' and accounted for!

Nuts, Des, I was going to chat with Dennis about that tomorrow on our 5 hour rides!!! Just kidding, but I really was going to propose it on the trip to/from Brandon tomorrow - wonderful timing or great minds Des!

So Dennis, Prairie Peregrines - photos by Dennis Swayze, occasional text by TPC ?

I would buy an autographed copy  :D
perhaps more fundraising for the falcons or some of the proceeds to go to the peregrine recovery project?

I would definitely buy at least one book.  Great idea! :D :D

We could even set up a booth along the sidewalk when the falcons are arriving or nesting.  Maybe get a telescope and set it up for people to view,  Of course donations accepted. 

I would buy a book as well as help with fundraising.

Post by: Moonstar on July 08, 2009, 17:12
I would buy a book or tell my friends and family what I want for a gift.  They all say I am so hard to buy for.
So one way or another...I would have that book.
Title: Re: Peregrine Project Photo Book
Post by: dodobird on July 08, 2009, 17:18
I would treasure a book of photos by Dennis with text by Tracy. As would all my family members. I really hope you can go ahead with it. ( in your spare time, of course) ;)

Looks like Dennis has already sold a couple dozen of his hypothetical books!!  ;D...I'm in, I've always said his pics should be in nature magazines or something like that!  :)

i've already started.. now is the time for all the great deals before all the ridiculous hype starts..

Title: Re: Peregrine Project Photo Book
Post by: Pchemist on July 09, 2009, 13:00
actually, I usually have all the shopping done by the end of summer (save for something really neat that wanders in or stuff for the niece and nephew as I don't get those requests in time).  And it's generally all wrapped by Thanksgiving.

My family is really annoyed by that.  it's my gift to me.  ;)

Then again, I keep a color-coded spreadsheet to track my gift buying.  So, my OCD is showing.   :P
Title: Re: Peregrine Project Photo Book
Post by: Loriann on July 09, 2009, 13:02
hey i do the same.. all the jealous shopper/haters just WISH they were so organized.. personally i greatly dislike  ( hate) the pushy shove-y christmas crowds and generally refuse to set foot in a mall after november.. i wrap as i buy to keep the chore down ( tg for gift bags and baskets,) and keep a list so i don't over spend when those special things pop up .

Count me in for at least two books! And, if they're not ready for this Christmas, there are many other Christmases and birthdays after that . . .

Yes, we are considering the idea seriously.  I will track down information on quality binding.  Dennis & I will get together and see what we might be able to formulate in terms of a narrative and what kind of photos.  We typically do this over a meal since it comes with a table that we can use for notes, hence the bison burger comment  :D

We haven't abandonned this idea, but logistics of printing and production are a bit more convoluted and expensive than we had hoped.  We continue to explore new ideas and hopefully we will be able to offer a book before much longer!
