I know there is a degree of humour here guys, but for me, once again, I'm pleased I've managed to finish something with my photography and also that I've managed to use Publisher to make something other than what I've done before. My wife may think it's daft, but this is for me what the essence of photography is all about. It's about making something that's (however immature) got direction, purpose and thought behind it.
Every zine I've received has been great, and has inspired me to have another go even when I'm not massively pleased with the results.
I was thinking about stepping away from doing another one after this as I'm thinking one shot books are more my thing, but seeing so many people sign up and commit to this has changed my thinking. Without jumping to conclusions about you all, you're ordinary photographers - just normal people who have a creative vision (this is a fact - you've made a zine!) and who have a message - no matter how weird it may seem, how inconsequential, or how terrible you might think it is. The very fact you've made it elevates you above the masses IMO.
I got this feeling on the last week of my courses when all the students would fetch their work in and display it on an A1 board. So very few of them were happy, or complimentary about their own work but nonetheless they took the projects on board, took the photos, umm'd and aah'd over them, then finally presented them. It was very humbling to see, and wonderful too when I realised just how accessible photography is to someone who wants to communicate something with pictures instead of words.
Hats off to you all IMO.
