Have just put the current draft of the Barbecue verse through a word
processor (from a text editor) and it comes out at 25 pages.
That matches the 25 Barbecue still life photos I had planned, with the
Barbecue verse on one page and the photo on the other. That makes a 50
page book of photos and verse working together without one illustrating
the other. Title pages and so forth add to this, of course.
So; for those interested, I seemed to have got it together as a 12 by 12
inch book... with still lifes, needed to be scanned from 4 by 5 inch
monochrome negatives and then the verse typeset. I am thinking the verse
should go on the left hand side and the photos on the right.
So, I am trying to combine book design (as a complex assemblage) with
verse text and graphic photos.... I am excited... this just may work
(now to convince a publisher of the entire package of book and art
gallery show... that makes me feel a little depressed. Not to mention
poverty means they have to pay and do most of the technical work since
CFIDS also cripples...
