New Premiums

Update #3 · May 16, 2011 · comment

As a result of the reduction in cost, I can increase the premiums.  Everyone who contributes at the $25 level and above will receive in addition to the premiums noted, a signed copy of one of my photographs. This will be a photo that specifically relates to my book, Salt Marsh Diary. As the video at the head of this proposal explains, I use photography as a notebook for my writing, and I will be sharing with contributors some of the very photos that actually led to the pieces in my book. I have a lot of editing to do this week for Living on Earth but as soon as I see some daylight, I'll post the photos.  Contributors will be able to choose whichever one they like.  Regards, Mark
