Photo Books

Big Nothing But Flowers photo book update. 

1) The book is essentially locked. I still need to replace a couple photos with the high res versions and need to figure out the page order, but the actual photo layouts are done.
2) I had been trying to find some very specific images and I couldn't find them anywhere but Shutterstock. I hated doing it but I paid $27.91 for a monthly plan to grab two images off there. One of the hardest parts of this book is matching styles across all the photographers and also working with the lyrics of the song Nothing But Flowers. I had to go outside of our community a bit. 
3) I sent myself $28 USDC from the Photobooks account to pay for the one month of Shutterstock.
4) I was trying to have the book published in time for the NY Art Book Fair, but my table request was denied so I don't quite have a hard deadline anymore, but I am hopefully moving into a new house on October 1st so I would like to be done with this book ASAP.

Update to the update. 

Good news: The layout is locked! Gonna put the pages in order this weekend and it will finally be in the hands of our designer.

Less good news: Turns out Shutterstock kinda fucked me and it actually cost $53 after taxes to get those two images instead of $28 so I took out $25. Our new total for publishing is $1434.10 but we also have about $100 in our wallets as well.

Any tips are appreciated cause we for sure need to raise some more money for publishing.

We want to use $degen for public good by publishing physical works from web3 photographers. All tips go towards publishing our first book Nothing But Flowers.
