Photobook Photography News/Links: Drowning Bride, Art of the Building, Babies! Kodak and Skid Row Photobook?


When photography goes too far: In Quebec, a woman wanted one last photo of herself in her wedding dress before returning it or giving it back.  During the photo shoot she fell into the water and the water soaked into the dress making it super heavy.  She drowned pretty quickly even though the photographer tried to help her.  Sad sad story.
Newlywed bride drowns, wanted one last photograph in her wedding dress.

Finalists for the ART OF THE BUILDING contect are now up at the Huffington Post.

Sebastian Bach of Skid Row is contemplating a photobook about his life.  It seems like all these aged rockers are now making books as they've perhaps run out of money.  More power to this guy who isn't short of tooting his own horn.  He's quoted in the Examiner.com article saying, "My life story is insanely insane."  Funny. Can't wait to see it!


In light of my own child who came into this work almost a month ago, this article looks like some great advice: 3 photobook companies to make your first year baby photobook!  I would also add Dabblebooks to that list!


and sad news that Kodak is ceasing their still photography business.
