Question to those who have contributed photos to TransporTed
Discussion
I was thinking of making a (small) blurb book to display all the photos from the first half a million miles. This I could make available to all that have contributed via a link here. The book would cost the same to you as it would to me, so I would make nothing from the sales. I would not make the book 'public' - for general sale on Blurb, people would have to be on this thread to find the link. I'll stress that this would cost the same to all of us.
Obviously, I don't 'own' any of these photos, so if anyone has any objection, I could remove their photo from the book... though the fact that you have sent me it and it's on my website would kind of make that a bit daft... still, I thought it important to ask. It's going to be impossible for me to contact everyone who has contributed and ask their permission personally... but I thought I'd float the idea here, see what the vibe was.
Would anyone be interested in this?
Each page would follow this format (res is just good enough)
FYI - Here's where it started (8 and a half years ago) > http://www.stevecarter.com/transported/ted1.htm
ETA... I'll make it an E Book too, for those too tight to buy paper

In the example above I think the caption area could be condensed. And a map with dots and numbers on it linking each photo to its location would be very nice
Res of photos limits size... and maps and dots sounds like work!In the example above I think the caption area could be condensed. And a map with dots and numbers on it linking each photo to its location would be very nice
I've put one together, I'll order it and see what it looks like. (You'll be able to review the entire book online before you buy)

If you can find me a nice copyright free world map I'll put the dots on for you. Gotta have a map! Double page spread, oh yes.
'ere ya go. I'll add the credit needed to make it freehttp://www.free-world-maps.com/physical-free-world...
If you need one with political borders, they do that as well

I think a political one would be better. Otherwise it's just a load of forests and sand
There are various... like: http://www.free-world-maps.com/political-green-yel...GetCarter said:
Going to press (a test) tomorrow morning. If you want a map with dots, I'll need it by then.
Sorry, without a set of coordinates or something I can't do all that by tomorrow. It's a pity because it seems such an obvious way to present all the data in one hit, and join all the pages/photos together. Why the hurry to print? Plenty of time before Christmas Simpo Two said:

I can't provide coordinates John, I'm just making a book of photos. If you'd like to provide a map with dots, please do and I'll include in the final print. I'm just printing a test tomorrow to see how good the contributor's resolutions work/look on paper. It can all be changed before others order.crmcatee said:
I'm up for that. Book for me (although the PDF would also be handy ).
Not a problem printing any that I have contributed.
I should also be able to provide the original hi-res images if required. Although it may take be a few hours to locate them
Ta for that... don't worry, 90% will be screen res, so they might as well all be.Not a problem printing any that I have contributed.

I'm definitely in. I had one submission and unfortunately a failed one due to my marriage going down the pan at the time but it would be great to have.
Is there any chance we could add a small profit on top of the cost, all of which would go to a charity of our choosing? My charity of choice is the Children of the Andes which provides protection and support to homeless children in Colombia.
It's perhaps not everyone's choice of charity but that or something similar would be a nice touch.

How is Steve going to send 50p to 40 different charities? I think if you want to donate to charity just do so.Gassing Station | Photography & Video | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
