Done at last, done at last. Thank the picture gods, I'm done at last ... or .....at least I think so*.

After what seemed like a blurry-eyed eternity, I have finished processing pictures from our Ireland and Scotland trip. The books are finished and ready for printing - I am waiting for the next 50% off sale at Shutterfly. Otherwise the books,in total, would cost approximately $350USD. The next sale should start by the middle of next week.

Fyi, the books are 8×8 as opposed to my 'normal' 10×10 size. I wanted the finished products to look and feel more like picture albums rather than as books.

Also fyi, here's the project by the numbers ...

The pictures:

• 1946 - total pictures made on trip
• 545 - pictures processed
• 345 - final pictures
• 239 - pictures in books

The books:

• 100 pgs / 95 pictures - Ireland book
• 94 pgs / 91 pictures - Scotland book
• 59 pgs / 53 pictures - Outtakes book

*It might not be over yet inasmuch as I am thinking about challenging myself, editing wise, by trying to make Ireland / Scotland books edited down to 1/3 - 1/2 the number of pictures - just to see it can be done successfully. The wife will be the judge of that.
