Thanks for your kind comments! I wanted to share a few pages from the rest of the Paris Book. I have been to Paris but it's been a long time (over 20 years ago!) and I am dying to go again. Because I wasn't much into photography at that time, I have few photos of that maiden voyage. So when I saw these new book board covers from 7 Gypsies, I knew I wanted to create a minibook about the Paris I remembered, so I turned to Flickr to supply the photos. The book utilizes paper, gaffer tape and paper tape from the new Venice Collection. The book board and brass plaque are new items being introduced at CHA. There are many Gypsy tags utilized in the book as well, along with a naked index pocket, and all of these lovelies are products from 7 Gypsies. What I do is I do an advanced search on Flickr under everyone's uploads, and check the following boxes:
Only Search Within Creative Commons Licensed Content
Find Content to Use Commercially
Find Content to Modify, Adapt or Build Upon
That will bring you a range of photos that you can utilize for your own projects, in most cases the artists do want you to credit them with the original photos (as you should do, anyway!).
So here is a peek inside the Paris Minibook that was created for 7 Gypsies for CHA Winter 2010, followed by attribution to the photographers:
There's a few more pages -- but you get the picture....
And without further ado, here are the photography credits, many thanks to these fabulous photographers for sharing their work so freely!
