Oh what a fun idea. I will see what I can come up with to send to you. I would love to have Zaire in a book. Once it is compleate will we all be able to order one for ourselves from the site?

I believe so. It says design, create, share. This leads me to believe that it should be a great idea, especially for me to get some for the local basenji clubs and let them use the books as fund raising.

sounds very nice. I will try to send some pics as well. But if you want to, you could choose yourself from our Gallery at our website (http://www.seelenfreund.dk) as well…

I have also been taking a look around the member galleries. Also, I found out that iPhoto can do the photo albums as well as Aperture, and Picaboo (online). I will probably be making the books in my apple software, and will also be needing any requests/recommendations for other information (text) to be added.
Please post any information that might be useful, as I have not created a book since I was a small kid and thus need help with the information to be added.
Thanks for all the help, and hopefully this will be a very nice looking photo book that will look great on a coffee table for company to flip through and learn about these lovely creatures.

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!!!!

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.

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.

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! ;-)

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.

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.

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?

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….

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,
