chance, [July 2010]
I discovered during my cybertravels recently, SOFOBOMO, a site that encourages people the world over to self-publish, a small photographic book, within the constraints of a specified timeframe, using any software they can, that creates a pdf, [I used aperture]. I got involved and made, this small book, called Chance.
Chance is about 12 megabytes, [one of the constraints is to keep the book to a certain size, under 15 meg].
