At this point I'm waiting for the book to be shipped (which should be here in the next two to three days) and started creating postcards for a few of the pictures. I like the idea of postcards because it gives the consumer another option to view the city as well as send out to friends to bring more people in. Along with a "coffee table book" people can post the postcards on a fridge or tack board and be reminded of the places they visited. I'm also working on finishing the script for the short video of the photos and should have that done in the next day. Once that's in place I'll record everything and finish everything in final cut.

I've changed my idea to create a book of pictures that I find relevant and important to the city of Chicago. Each picture will encompass what I feel dictates what Chicago is like. I plan on using photos as well as illustrations in the book. I'm still planning on covering the same categories but because things are becoming more personal now I feel that I won't offend others if I leave certain categories out. I also plan and creating a mini film in FinalCut which I explain the relevance of each picture as they are flipped through.
