So this post has been a long time coming. For those of you who have been reading the blog for awhile, you know that I followed the Lakota East Varsity football team this past season. It was a personal project and I learned so much from the experience. I set many goals before starting the project. They ranged from being a better photographer of football, producing a book and doing a multimedia presentation. The book was for myself as well as a gift to the head coach for letting me do this project. I never showed the book to anyone but the coach and my immediate family. See, I lack confidence sometimes in my abilities. I know what I am good at and what I struggle with. Football was never a sport I was great at photographing so showing the book to others was kind of intimidating. What if they hated it? What if all my work was deemed crap? What if I thought I improved dramatically over the season with my images but others told me otherwise? Could I handle it? Would it hurt my confidence? I finally bit the bullet and showed it to a customer and they thought it was great. Wanted to know if I would sell it to them and if they could tell others. Wow! I was blown away. Why did I wait so long to show others? Sometimes I could kick myself for lacking confidence in my abilities. So I am sharing the book with all of you here. The link below takes you to the site where it can be viewed and purchased. You can preview the entire book. I would love feedback. Positive or negative. It will only make me a better photographer so lay it on me.

Way cool, Barb! If the inside is anything like the cover, its incredible! The parents would probably LOVE to get their hands on one of these.
Thanks for the feedback Keith, great to hear from another photographer.
Kim, thanks for looking and leaving a comment as well. I appreciate it.
