Since you asked… I did not finish sofobomo on time, one day late, but all the work was done within the 30 day window.

The reasons go something like this:
1) I intentionally did not set a deadline as I did last year in order to reduce stress. It worked, the stress factor was much lower.
2) After completing the photography I almost did not make the book. Last year I did not have a pleasurable experience making the book, it was work.
3) July the first was Canada day and I found myself with some time, so I made the book.

I found a much easier way to put together the book, though it's quality may suffer.
1) I did not include story and theme, I just let it happen, and let the photos stand alone.
2) I composed the book for electronic consumption, viewable on screen only. last year it was all formatted for paper presentation.

I really think it's not a cheap way out, to the contrary, because there is a lot of interest in that kind of "stories". Once again, congratulations to yours. Thanks.

Of course, as you know, I, too, solved the biggest problem (theme) by finding a nice canyon. Great advice!
