The sample cover image should be very close to what the front cover will look like.

I hope you all like it.

Well. I cannot speak for the model, but I have a friend that is very close with the photographer and I think he will be ok with it...

Ya think???  I know him too.. kinda a nice guy at times.. of course now that he is a published "artiste" I would hate to think his head would swell... at least not too much...

hello everyone

Hi Donna.. nice to see you here again..

Posting the current information for the new page......

Specs for pictures:
sRGB color
Please know that although 300 DPI/ppi is optimal anything less will not look right.
Standard Landscape 10x8:  2884 X 2471
Standard Portrait 8x10:  2363 X 3000
All images are to be submitted in .jpg format (JPEG)
(Please do not put watermarks or copyright marks on images)

Not all images will be included as 8x10 but please submit them cropped as such.

REMEMBER: When cropping, keep in mind the pixel limits above. try to be close.. not way down at 700x900 etc.. the image has to look good at 8x10

Please include your name as you wish it to appear, along with the name of the model as she wishes it to appear or the name of the photographer as he /she wishes it to appear. I also need the MM number of the person submitting the images. And the MM number of the model/photographer if a member of MM.

include 1 or 2 Sentences about the image or why it was taken or something. NO MORE than 1 or 2 sentences.

email images to project40 @ acgellert . com


As this book is a "Coffee Table" type of book, and there is a chance that if it is on a coffee table... that children might see it, or someone might not like to have it out... Lynn and I as editors have decided:

NO NUDES, NO TOPLESS... Implied is OK,  no "nipplage".

Sorry to all of you gorgeous and beautiful models.. but we have to be aware of everything that could possibly happen.

However... we are going to do another book of "Over 40" nudes down the road if there is enough interest.

These are examples of what the pages will look like.

These are not finished and published.... just examples...

Front cover:



Title page:



sample of how the image pages will look:



(this is for a page that will have only one image... text information will be approximately the same even on multiple image pages.)

Below each image will be the photographer's Name, and the one or two sentences about the image.

The models Name and MM# if available will lead off the text about the image. If the model is not a member of MM, it will just be her name as specified when images were submitted.

There will also be a page with the list of contributing Photographers.. with MM# if a member.

Hey Tom..

Still waiting on some images from a couple of people. There are a few that either just got their electricity back on in Ohio or just getting back to their offices and homes in south Texas after Ike. So I told them I would wait...

So I am still adding some of the images to the book format.

I will post in here as soon as I upload it to the printers, and again when it is ready to view and purchase...

I appreciate your participation along with everyone else who has submitted to this project.

It looks good so far and probably around 100 pages of images.

According to blurb.com.. that means about $30.00 plus shipping for a single copy of the book. They have a 10% discount for orders of 10 or more...

Again, it wont be much longer, and I will post when it is ready.

Andrew

Thanks Andrew. You guys have made this a very fun project and I am so glad that I got in. If you EVER do something like this again on about any topic let me know.

OK!!! Count me in and I will start working on the project now. I have a couple of things already done, but I will work toward some new things as well.

Sorry I haven't been following the thread all that closely the past few days, but too many irons in the fire at the moment.

Need some help in gently reminding them?

LOL... nope I have already reminded them.. and it isnt all laziness.. mostly due to power and storm damage in Texas and Ohio from Ike and not getting into studios or locations.. but thanks for the offer.. LOL  And one model and her husband who have been on a vacation.. but are just back home..
