Here’s a sneak preview of the cover of my new book that should be complete within the next month or so. It will be called Palestine: Disputed Land, Undisputed Hope. It will be a collection of my best photos from Palestine along with some background information and descriptive captions. I will posting more details as they are available.

A little over a year ago, Cherbo Publishing contacted me about a photo of mine they had seen on Flickr. They were publishing a book about Pittsburgh, called Pittsburgh: Smart City, and wanted to know if they could use my photo in their book. That photo is below:

We worked out a licensing deal, I sent them the photo, and they sent me a check. In the ensuing months, I almost totally forgot about the book. Until a few days ago when I decided to look it up. Well, my copy arrived today…

It’s not too often that I specifically endorse a product or website on this blog but I wanted to say a little something about Blurb.
Some of you may remember that I took a trip to Ireland back in June with my father and brother. While I was there, of course, I took a ton of photos. This Christmas, when I was deciding what to get everyone, I decided that I wanted to make a photo book of the trip and give it to my father and brother.
After browsing the web and looking at a few online book publishers, I decided to go with Blurb. The finished product was excellent! The software that you download to create the book is a little buggy (on a Mac anyway) but, overall, it works pretty well.
Oh, and you can sell your book through the website and you will get a percentage of the sales! Not bad. I plan on creating some more books that might appeal more to the general public soon, but if you are interested in buying a copy of the book, click below:
If you’re ever in the market for a photo book, I would highly recommend going with Blurb.
