My biggest hurdle was convincing other photographers to let me use their work since none of the photos are mine just the dialogue but the feelgood aspect of seeing a published title come together as you designed it is like nothing else, I'd encourage more people to try it.

That's a creative idea. What kind of green component would you come up with for a fashion, or portraiture publishment?
