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.
I hate that the Nothing But Flowers book is taking so long but my designer has been too busy winning Emmy's for title design to have time to work on this project pro-bono. The layout has been done for two months so it's just a matter of layout out text and designing the cover when he has time.

Since we are still trying to raise some publishing funds for the Nothing But Flowers book I figured we could once again jump on the Zora meta. We released 3 NFTs on there last year, but here's Nothing But Flowers #4 by @drivenbyboredom.

A little sneak peak at the layout... I print up tiny versions of the spreads and lay them out on the floor to organize. Can you spot your photo(s)?
I think it's been over a year since I started working on the Nothing But Flowers @photobooks project. We raised about $1500 in $degen tips to publish a photobook about nature overcoming civilization.
Nearly everyone who started the project with me disappeared and I would sometimes go weeks without working on it, but

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...
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 Sh

Another update on the Nothing But Flowers photo book!
Right now I am waiting for two high res images and the book should be just about locked! After it's locked I am going to print every page out and put them on my office floor until I find the perfect page order and then send it off to my designer who can hopefully fi...

Okay new Nothing But Flowers update!
We are so close to done. I am giving myself one more week to try and fill a few remaining holes before I make some tough decisions.
If you have any photos of the following things let me know:
1) Abandoned malls, bars, Dairy Queens or 7-11s
2) Anything that is abandoned and being sw...

After taking a small break I am back to working on Nothing But Flowers again. Still waiting on some high res selects, trying to fill a few holes and honestly need to develop a couple rolls of film that I shot for it.
My hope is that it will be in the cover designer's hands by mid July for a September publication date.

Minor transparency update:
I finally set up this account’s wallet. I funded it with 25 USDC and .005 ETH. Eventually that will go back into the book funds but for now it’s in our warplet. Wait if Warpcast is gone can we still call it a warplet?
In other news I got really burnt out last week working on the layout. I’m...

There is a line in the song Nothing But Flowers: "This was a discount store, now, it's turned into a cornfield".
Does anyone have any horizontal photos that might capture that? Could be an abandoned dollar store or perhaps a cornfield with an abandoned structure in this distance?

Monday Nothing But Flowers photo book update:
I worked on the layout for a few hours this weekend. A lot of it was moving over some pages I had put together sloppily in another Illustrator document when I was experimenting early in the process.
We are up to about 80 pages now and I have a few more images I would like ...

Mini Nothing But Flowers photo book update, just because I want to keep reminding people this project exists... I scheduled time this weekend to work on the book and my hope is I will be very close to done with the layout by then.
Also on a personal note I just went on a mini road trip and found some great stuff that ...

Yesterday I mentioned that we were trying to fill some holes in the Nothing But Flowers book. I am looking for some very specific images if any photographers have them:
1) A horizontal photo of an abandoned mall (with plants growing)
2) A horizontal photo of an abandoned pizza hut (with plants growing)
3) A straight on...

Nothing But Flowers update: 95% done laying out the photos. There are a few holes I am trying to fill and I might add a couple spreads to fill out the book but very happy with where I am after putting this project off for months.
Still a bunch of steps to go:
1) Need to put the pages in order.
2) Need to figure out how...
