Joni Sternbach @ Peabody Essex Museum

If you are in Salem, MA don't miss Joni Sternbach Solo Exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum - through October 4, 2009.
Mark Feeney also wrote an article about the show for Boston.com, which you can find here.
And Joni's book "Ditch Plains" is also still available on Blurb.com (as is Nymphoto's 1st Book ;)

Self-Publishing

Emily Shur wrote a while back about her experience with Blurb, and yesterday Joerg Colberg of Conscientious wrote an excellent account of his endeavor into self-publishing. This is a helpful post and hopefully it will broaden the discussion & encourage information exchange about this relevant topic.

Joni Sternbach's (who taught me at NYU) self-published book on Surfers titled "Ditch Plains" is a favorite of the staff at Blurb and Mrs. Deane likes it too. As do we here at Nymphoto.
Take a look at Joni Sternbach's work via her website: www.jonisternbach.com

I Can See for Miles & More

The response to Blurb's Photo Book Contest has been oberwhelming and we will leave the sorting through all the entires to others, like Andrew Hetherington. However we wanted to highlight Emily Shur's (who we recently spoke to for Nymphoto Conversations) book:I Can See For Miles.
Joerg Colberg pointed out that it would be nice if Blurb would offer a discount on the sales price of the books entered for competition (thus encouraging people to buy the books) -- good idea. Even just a temporary sale would be great.
