Me too.

Any other parameters than what was said above? Can the photo be 5 or 8 years old? Or only from 2010? Landscapes only? People OK?

The photo may be of whatever you wish, a person, a view, a building. Something that will be of interest to someone who will look at it in the future.
It may be taken at any time, what the printer requires is a high resolution .jpg file. For those who wish to submit a photo from a film camera then a scan of the photo will be necessary to convert to a digital file.
Really its up to the person who submits the photo to decide what the content should be. Hopefully people will participate, this is for the ocassional and expert snappers alike.

In the 90's there was a series of books called '' A Day in the Life'' including one on Ireland. Yhey were great. This is similar except mor local. Great idea. Set a date.

Hi,

I'm a local photographer and would be interested if you get the numbers you require, just let me know if it goes ahead and I'll submit.

Many thanks

If 100 local people submitted a digital image (photograph) which was taken by them and a photobook of approximately 50 pages was made. Then the book was presented to the Greystones Library where it could be viewed for generations to come. All photos to be taken in the county of Wicklow and may be of whatever subject which is decent and within the law. A subscription of 2 or 3 euro each to cover expenses.
I would love to see anyone with a camera submit a photo. First 100 photos would go into book. 1 photo per person.
Thoughts ?

I will sticky it for a couple of weeks John.

Maybe change the thread title now that the idea has taken off.

High resolution photos could be emailed to me, I would organise and order photobook. But all I would ask is that all photos be submitted by 1st March 2011. If anyone has suggestions lets have them here.
We would need a hundred people to commit first before any photos are sent.

I'll forward my pic(s) this evening. Just wondering do you have any guidelines from the printer as to sizes, resolution requirements?
