Moab 2008 Shootout Book (really!)

***schmoo*** · May-06-2009, 09:57 AM

Finally, the book is here!

With a thousand-and-one humble apologies for the delay in getting this piece crafted and ready for publication, I present to you Digital Grin's fruit from the dry deserts of Moab, Utah. Hopefully by now all of us have beaten the last grains of red sand out of our bags and our lenses have stopped grinding and crunching at every focal length. With the lingering reminders of the desert now so far away, perhaps we are ready to fondly face it in these pages.

No words can describe how much I appreciate everyone's help & patience in this project. And I do hope that this has been worth the wait. 2008 was a wonderful year and we had so many great adventures, even if some of our groups were ships passing in the night.

I hope that our awesome momentum and passion for shooting will carry us into Acadia this fall.

Remember that neither Digital Grin or SmugMug (or your humble BlurbThumptress) benefit from these sales or make any profits whatsoever. This is for us, from us. Enjoy the yearbook!

Will this be left on blurb for future purchases? or is there a hard deadline when it will be taken down?

Nah, I'm leaving it up, no deadline. It's a "private" book so the only place the link is found is in this post and last year's book from Glacier is still up, too.

I just placed my order :-) Thanks for all your hard work!
