printed my images

I have printed my images at Asda only small so that i can look at the images and show people. I think that the images look better when printed i know that a web site is nice and easy and a lot of people can look at it, but i like to have a copy in my hand and be able to see the image more clearly.



Now that i have chosen the images i am happy with them i am now going to get them put into a photo book.


problems with a photo book 


One of the problems with a photo book is that you could be limited to the amount of images that you can put in the book, 
People some time like to have a photo in there hand and a photo book is less tactile.
Some times with a photo book if a page gets damaged you have to replace the whole book as you cant just replace a page at a time. 

photo book for my images

A way that i would like to present my images would be through a photo book this is because i think that you can show people the book and you have got a record forever, people can even look at the book and ask for prints out of it (family and friends).

I have looked on a few websites and have had a look at ordering a photo book.
I have had a look at blurb.com and there web site seems quite easy to work.

You can choose different books and different designs.




 When putting your images in the book you can choose different page lay outs.





This is all of the prices that you can choose from.



I think this will work well with my work i don't know if i would do two separate books or put them all in one.

Dorothea Lange

Following her studies at Columbia University in New York under Clarence H White between 1917 and 1919, Dorothea Lange started out as an independent portrait photographer in San Francisco. Shocked by the number of homeless people in search of work during the great depression, she decided to take pictures of people in the street to draw attention to their plight. In 1935 she joined the farm security administration (fsa) and reported on living conditions in the rural areas of the USA. In an unflinchingly direct manner she documented the bitter poverty of migrant workers and their families.

Dorothea Lange's pictures not only showed the hopelessness and despair, but also the pride and dignity with which people endured their circumstances. One of the most famous and most frequently published photographs of the FSA project is "Migrant Mother" the portrait of a Californian migrant worker with her three children. The face of the young woman is marked by wrinkles, the gaze full of worry directed in the distance. To the right and the left the two children, seeking protection, lean against her shoulders, hiding their faces from the camera, while the small baby has fallen asleep on its mother lap. This highly concentrated, tightly composed image has made Dorothea Lange an icon of socially committed photography.
