Book

Over the past 10 weeks, I made a book, entitled Sampling Error: Stochastic Perturbations to Reality. It explores the relationship between measurement in the physical sciences and photography as an act of measurement. I designed the layout in Scribus, an open source desktop publishing tool, worked with a local print shop to have the photographs printed, cut woodcuts and set type, then folded, bound, and cased six copies. They're finally done, and being distributed to friends and family.

I'm really happy.

Hey, you are first on the list if I make a second edition in the fall! I've had 10 or so people ask to buy copies, so we'll see if I can find a way to make it happen. :-)
