The book will cover 10 years of photos (1999 - 2009) by Danbury Photographer Howard Polley.
The book will be 13x11 with a hard cover and have around 465 beautiful photographs of Danbury with
tidbits of information about the photos, landmarks, parks and history. plus over a 100 Bonus photos of 32 Connecticut towns.
That's almost 600 photos which makes this an amazing value. Because the book is being printed one book a t a time the book is $138.95
that's around .30 cents a photo, not bad since many of these photos sold for $200.00 each.
I f the photo book ever gets massed published the price will go down but I can't guarantee that will happen. 25 % of the proceeds of the book will go towards the restoration of our city's beloved historical landmark Hearthstone Castle. Some of the photos in the book will be from my Danbury Photo Gallery as well as never before seen photos. In the future I hope to revise and build this book and have a lot more people involved and having more people contribute their photos. This way this photographic book can expand its pages and photos to show even more of Connecticut’s charm, beauty and people that together truly makes Connecticut a very special place.
These types of photographic books would also be a great idea if each town in this country would use this incredible book publishing service to create photographic books of the town were they live. All they have to do is first find some qualified people to mange the project. Then publicize the making of the photographic book so that every one who wants to help and contribute to the book can do so. Then you take the best photos that people submit, organize them into categories and areas, then show the book for any last minute changes or ideas, then put the book up for sale so that everyone who wants to buy the book can do so. And if you get enough preorders or you strongly believe a very large number of books will be purchased, then you could mass publish the book so that the cost of the book will be much less then having them printed one at a time.
My next huge project is to use the same format and the same publishing company to make a Family Photo Album.
I figure I could put over 1,500 photos in this family photo book because I will use the thinner paper that will allow me to have 400 pages instead of the 160 pages of the thicker more durable paper. This is a great gift for any family. When you think about all the people and all the circumstances that led to the birth of each and every one of us, you can’t help to be amazed and a little curious at the same time. To know your family history is to have a clearer understanding of yourself and the people who made your life possible.
Appreciating and recognizing the people in your past will help you to appreciate and understand the people of the present. Then ultimately, future generations will come to appreciate and understand each of us, which will help us to continue to bless the true meaning of the word ‘family’ and the importance of appreciating and documenting our family history.
