Update #1: The "Launch Project" button.
So...I'm near the end of Day One since my project kickoff.
Of all the steps required to photograph, design, research and write this children's book one of the most difficult parts came yesterday when I had to click on the "Launch Project" button here on Kickstarter. Perhaps it is just that I'm not someone that is comfortable, at all, with asking for help. Especially when it comes to $$$'s.
This book is really just a first step, I hope, towards producing several other books of my photography. These would be in the form of a "coffee table" book/portfolio. If you're not familiar with my other work please visit my galleries website... http://www.westlightimages.com
So for now, sincere thanks to those of you that have visited "Edgar's" project page and have made a pledge in support of my effort to have this book printed. Thank you also to everyone that has taken time to consider making a pledge. Ever $ counts!
Take care! David
