2 ... 2 ...Two weeks prior to signing: I emailed a couple of television stations and newspapers about my signing, a fun email, really...including the humor about how I got started in photography.
One week prior to signing: Received an answer from City Beat and Fox 6, a heads up that they will publicize my book signing.
Two days before signing: Appear on television, goes well...I'm interviewed by an anchor who lets me know that it's her first day on the job.
Day before signing: Prepare what I'm going to bring...my cards, my framed image, my portfolio (12X16 samples of my work in black leather case)
Day of signing: Pick up local paper "San Diego City Beat" and find that my book signing is the "pick of the week." Get to signing and it's a full house (okay, about 20 people show up, filling up all the chairs that Borders has set up for the event. Pass out my strange 60s collage, giving people a little bit of a retro shock. People hang out, talk photography, share their work and listen to my tips.
My Roll-Top Desk
During the signing, I found myself referring to past experiences to form the foundations of ones photography. For me, this brought up my fascination with roll-top desks. I can remember being 11 years old and letting my mom know that I wanted one. Not one time, but so many times that it became a nagging experience for my mother.
She finally broke down and bought me one.
Hence if I see a roll-top desk, it's, without a doubt, gonna be a subject for my photography.
