The book isn't as great as it looks online. All of my images printed too dark and I'm pretty unhappy about the outcome. Apparently one must lighten one's images, even more, in order for them to print properly. Which makes me wonder... where is the datum in digital land??? Is my monitor really lying to me about the brightness of my photos? I guess I don't get why a printed image does not equal a digital image in the way it's supposed to look. "Tweaking" my photos (as the guy at Blurb told me to do) seems a bit like a crap shoot - sure I may get it to look great on my printer, but what about their printer? Surely printers aren't the datum either. So this leaves me frustrated as usual. Boo.

boo. I still look forward to seeing it though. will you bring your copy to school?
I'm going to redo it - lighten the images more so they don't print black like they did the first go-around. AND, I'm going to make a book of my coffee stands as well - so stay tuned!
