We are still looking for translators for this short text explaining SoFoBoMo. A list of languages for which we already have translations (or promises thereof) is here.
I’m really looking forward to being able to get these translations online and to start to see SoFoBoMo become available to non-English speakers.
In the meantime, we have received [...]

The response the request for translation help has been phenomenal. There is a lot of goodwill out in the world and a lot of people want this to work. On behalf of everybody concerned – thank you to all those who have stepped forward to volunteer.
Whilst the update to the SoFoBoMo.org website is [...]

You’ll have probably seen the announcement of the 2010 dates for SoFoBoMo. This is way too early for me to have a project idea, but I do know how I want to approach SoFoBoMo next year and that has implications for the time between now and then.

I’ll have my set of 35 plus images by the end of the day. I know what I want the book to [...]

An hour of clicking through Aperture, assigning stars, deleting exposure variants and so on suggests that I have 55 images to select my sofobomo35 from.
This is all based on previews. It is interesting how the word “edit” has slowly drifted from meaning to compile or select towards meaning to alter or improve. Both [...]

I’ve got to the end of my week and have 408 exposures to play with. This is the planned end of the shooting time. I now need to see if any of this is going to hang together.
Actually, I’m quite looking forward to going out with a camera again tomorrow, but a different [...]
