The fotolog.book as yearbook
A few weeks back at a SF Flickr social gathering, Jef mentioned that the fotolog.book was like a yearbook. It's more elegant in layout and intention, but there's certainly a quality of a group history artifact about it.

With that in mind, I brought mine to the little show we had last night on Valencia street, to get it signed by friends in the book. It was a little bit strange asking, but I was pleased to get notes from some of my favorite photographers in this lovely picture book.
The pages are too pretty to write on, so we kept signatures and notes to the insides of the covers.
It was strangely satifying, the lingering touch of ink on paper.
(Over at The WELL in a publically readable book discussion we are currently talking with some of the contributors to the fotolog.book and settling in for a two-week long conversation.)
