When you work
on something long enough it starts to feel like a part of you – like a limb or
a growth (don’t worry, it’s benign). It’s been 4 years since I started to the
ORBIT book project and, now, it’s “done.” I put "done" in quotes because it doesn’t
quite feel like I’m finished. Not that I’m not happy with it, or there’s
something missing, but, like I said when you live with a project this long it
feels like more than just words and images on a page.
On Friday I sent
back the files with the final notes to my editor and designer at Wayne State University
Press. Barring any problems, I don’t expect any that will be it for me – the final
corrections before it goes to press and delivered to the warehouse later this
summer for the September 1st release date.
But, before I
put it to bed, I thought I’d share a few images with you from the book. These
are just a few photos I took of the black and white proof pages. The actual
book will be in full color and larger. I figured you might find them
interesting to look at, giving you a sense of the various sections, ideas, on a
small scale.
