Printing by hand


a year ago this week, i was frantically preparing for the photo shoot for my book, printing by hand. and now it's finally available for pre-ordering on amazon.

the photo shoot was here, at my house. it was a lot of fun, but so incredibly exhausting. in addition to creating every project in the book for a finished piece photograph, i had to do each project, start to finish, while being photographed for the "how-to" photos. phew. so much work!

one thing i'm excited about sharing during the time leading up to the book coming out, and then after-- is outtakes from the photo shoot. since the "how-to" photos were taken digitally, thayer was able to snap lots of extras. i love those extra photos (many are of quiet moments right before we started), and all of the images that didn't make it into the book. here are just a couple... more to come!
