how much is a <a href=\"https:\/\/livingarguments.com\/2009\/03\/25\/digital-scrapbooking\/\">photobook<\/a> worth?\u00a0 Last year I shadowed Charleston and Winthrop Wesley Foundation during their fall mission trip.\u00a0 Over the course of the year, I&#8217;ve used those pictures in websites, slide shows and videos to help me describe the importance of campus ministries.\u00a0 The response has been mixed.\u00a0 On websites and social networks, I&#8217;ve gotten a lot of hits.\u00a0 When I&#8217;ve attended conferences I&#8217;ve typically taken a laptop and a flat screen monitor to show the pictures at a booth.\u00a0 After lugging a monitor with me to more than one event, I decided the cost far outweighed the benefit for that particular display method.\u00a0 After investing a few hours, I was able to lay out the book pictured above using <a href=\"www.mypublisher.com\" target=\"_blank\">MyPublisher<\/a>.\u00a0 I typically use <a href=\"www.blurb.com\">Blurb<\/a>, but MyPublisher had a coupon to by 1 and get 1 free.\u00a0 Their printing technology had also caught up to Blurb.\u00a0 They were finally able to provide me with a beautiful image wrap book.<\/p>\n<p>Now I have a nice shiny new photobook for myself, and a spare for the campus ministry to use.\u00a0 We shall see how the experiment with photobooks at events works.\u00a0 People have gotten used to digital displays enough that they can be relegated to a background distraction.\u00a0 With a photobook, curiosity may draw people both to the topic and to inquire how they can make a book too.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in the inside of my book, you can take a look <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mypublisher.com\/?e=OHm3Q8zJl3T59kofVVFLpU4R0rbGWQiI&amp;showForm=true\">here<\/a>.\u00a0 MyPublisher gives you desktop software free of charge to do the layout.\u00a0 You upload the finished product to their site to order and share with your friends.\u00a0 They are especially generous with coupons for the bargain hunters out there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If a picture is worth a thousand words, how much is a photobook worth?\u00a0 Last year I shadowed Charleston and Winthrop Wesley
