About this book This book was an experiment by one individual in making a photography book in one month. The project, outlined on the web here http://photomusings.wordpress.com/2008/01/18/solo-photo-book-month/ was designed to inspire photographers who have never produced a book to give it a try, without a lot of pressure. 35 new images, one month, one book...many photographers trying together.

My personal goals for the project were: – to get experience with a new camera I had purchased – to shoot in an unfamiliar aspect ratio (1:1) – to shoot environmental portraits – to get experience putting together a book The project delivered in spades!

I had originally envisioned shooting 35 distinct individual's portraits, but as the month wore on, and I was busy with work and life as usual, I resorted to shooting the subjects I had handy—my kids.

Photographs were taken with a Ricoh GX100 camera. Photos received some postprocessing, but to save time, usually not much. The book layout was done using the Scribus desktop publishing program (www.scribus.net). The font used is FormalScript 436BT. There is more information about the making of this book at my web site: http://redskiesatnight.com/sofobomo1/ where you can post comments and questions, if you wish.

The title of the book is in reference to the activities that mark the passage of childhood. I hope this book helps my children reflect back on their childhood with fond memories.
