Topic: Candela Books is live!

[eyecaramba]

This may or not be appropriate for the forum as it is a commercial venture, but it is exciting news for me for a few reasons really. Also, as I am wanting one my future project to be a lo-fi anthology from this end of the photo world. The plastic or crappy anthology is on the drawing board already though I want to actually produce another monograph as my second title. I am definitely reviewing work if anyone is interested. The website has submissions policies.

The book is in a few photography bookstores so far and I have arranged for a couple of reviews / interviews but I have so much more work to do. The next effort is certainly going to benefit from a more seasoned publisher.

Anyway, here it is...  www.candelabooks.com

Exciting stuff!.....Gita's book will be going on my xmas wishlist. I'm really happy you made it happen for her.
And the site looks great, love the name too.

Books really are the thing.
I wish you the best of luck.
