Scooter Camera

Dylan Kasson is sending a camera around the world to notable scooter riders. They are documenting what scootering is to them.

I am trying to write as many personal notes as I can in the books before I send them out.

That’s it! The books are ready to ship. 67 pages, 8.5x11, soft cover, numbered and signed by the artist. Order one here, and view an excerpt from the book on my website. Thanks everybody!

Documenting the finished product. I realized people wouldn't want to buy the book if they couldn't see an image of the physical object they were purchasing. Also, record was needed of the physical object for my website.

This is an aerial survey of all the locations the camera traveled to.

Received the batch from the publisher. After they are numbered and signed, they will be available for sale on my website.

Received a proof from the publisher today. Once some minor changes are made (mostly the frustrating retouching with blending the photographed pieces of paper to white) are resolved, the manufacturing will begin.

[scootcamera]

I just submitted an order with the publisher for 25 copies. Depending on how the first run goes, more will be made. Each one will be hand numbered and signed. This project is happening!

Excerpt file is completed and uploaded privately to my website. It's so exciting that all I need to do is make it public once the book is published!

With publishing in the works, I have started to layout the excerpt from the book that will be displayed on my website.

[scootcamera]

Deadlines are soon, so I finished the layout today. I am going to start working with local print houses and get some samples, then get a batch made. Once the prints are done they will be given to my publisher and he will be hand making every book.

making sure the photos of the objects are perfectly to scale

Finally solved an issue with the pages shadows blending to absolute white, now for the final stretch of design.

[scootcamera]

The layout work never stops. I just want it to be perfect.

I decided to publish Jake O'Donnels section on the internet. I had to take him out of the book because I won't be able to make it to Washington to take a portrait of him before the book is finished. Sorry Jake!
