Coffee Table Book

[snorky998]

WOW…what a great idea!!

Can you reproduce from 35mm if B folks send copies to you? What info do you want with the pics? ie...dog name, location of shot, owner, etc.... Sounds like a huge undertaking. Best of luck.

Again, WOW!!!!

[etzbseder]

Whatever you send will be great. It will be pretty big, and take a lot of time, but it should be great when done. If I don't use all the info that comes with pictures, sorry, but I may not need or have room for that much, but at least it will be there if I decide to put it in.

etzbseder,

This is a great idea and we want to help! If you want to use any content/photos contained within this site for any type of offsite activity please contact us privately admin@basenjiforums.com, so we can iron out the details and facilitate the production. You will need to request permission from the photo owners prior to using them.

Also please respect our forum rules and guidelines regarding posting personal contact information on the forum.

Thank you,

[etzbseder]

Thank you for your support. That is one of the reasons I am asking people to send to me, and post for me.

As for the contact info, there is no other way for me to let other people contact me, and I need them to be able to. I know I am opening myself to the possibility of spam.

[Alex]

Thank you, we are working with etzbseder to formalize this production. It will be a lot of fun, just like the Basenji Buddies Gift Exchange.

Awh, awesome idea!

Shango has a few pics of him outside without a leash. Feel free to use any of those if intested! He has one kissing an Airedale Terrier and another when he's laying in the grass. I'm biased of course, but I think he'd make a great centerfold! ;-)

[Nemo]

This sounds really cool.

Even if there are leashes, in many cases we can just photoshop them out. I've done that in a number of photos of my dogs.

[etzbseder]

I am interested in "Lounging", "Look!", and "Come on, hurry up!", but I would like higher quality photos (the originals) as they will probably be blown up and I don't want to lose any quality.

[Alex]

We are setting up an official thread with information regarding this. etzbseder please contact admin@basenjiforums.com.

I love this idea - one of my pictures of EL D snoozing in the sun made it into the basenji screen saver - you have my permission to use that one if you want (it's one of my favorites of him).

Has anyone thought of contacting Michael Work or Jon Curby? Or anyone else who has gotten dogs out of Africa?

[etzbseder]

I don't know Michael Work, and my messages to Jon have ben returned all day as un-deliverable although I've talked to him before.

Jon was just at the Nationals and I would think he has not had time to catch up on emails or the OFA site might be having problems

Are you planning on giving photo credit to the photographer? Personally, I am not wild about giving the innuendo that photos of domestic basenjis are actually taken in the wild. Just my 2 cents….

[etzbseder]

I can definitely give credit to the photographer, and would need to if someone else wanted to have iPhoto print them one. The original book, being made basically as a digitally created scrapbook may (I'm not sure yet) have all the credits in the back, as it is just for me and will probably be a one of a kind, unless I decide it looks great and want to donate a couple to the local B club. They are like 30 or 40 dollars, and are printed and bound through someplace similar to snapfish, which is an online digital developer similar to what you find at walgreens and the supermarkets.

etzbseder,

We have contacted you privately several times in regards to the coffee table book production on Basenji Forums and have not heard back. Please reply to our emails or let us know if you are not getting them.

We want to make this production official and get it going.

Thank you,

[etzbseder]

I wrote back to the only message I got.

[Alex]

etzbseder,

We just resent you the email. Please let us know if you don't get it. Looking forward to this coffee table book. It will be really cool once it's produced.
