LIMITED EDITION DELUXE 8X10" HARDCOVER PERIODICAL CICADA GUIDE AND DOCUMENTARY FILM PHOTOBOOK, (numbered, signed, and personalized by Sam)
This is the reward you've been waiting for! A gorgeous printed presentation of the cicada field guide and photographic highlights/timeline of the project over the coming year. The first part will be an enhanced version of the digital field guide, the latter will be a combination project scrapbook and photo display. For example, you'll see the locations in Australia of filming sites side-by-side with the actual cicada photographs. This presentation is planned to be through NYC based AdoramaPix and their amazing photobook process. Unlike other printers, Adorama uses actual photographic silver-halide paper with a lustre finish. In essence, every page is an actual 8x10 photo! The pages lay completely flat, allowing for a true panoramic spread across 2 pages. I just looked at some examples in person and they are beautiful. If that's not enough, you'll also get all rewards at the $85.00 level, as well as your choice of 2 additional 8x10 cicada photos (3 in all!). I will sign and personalize every copy, and include some handwritten details about the story behind a particular interesting photo or day.
