PDML Photo Annual 2011 – ISBN 978-0-9830664-3-9

Follow on Facebook Lightning strikes a third time with the all-new PDML Photo Annual 2011! Launched in 2009 to showcase the work of fine photographers and support childhood cancer research, the PDML Photo Annual showcases fine photography from artists around the world and raises money to support the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's Pediatric Oncology Global Outreach program.

The contributing Photographers are members of the Pentax-Discuss Mail List, and come from all over the world. Their photographic styles are as varied as the multicultural nature of the list membership would suggest. There are are photographers who excel at black & white street photography, expansive landscapes, expressive portraits, sports, macro, abstract, fashion, travel, wildlife and various combinations of the above. If you are already a fan of fine art photography you'll find a lot to love in these collections; if you're new to this art form then these books are great introduction.

Each 8 x 10-inch book contains around 120 pages, including the best photographic work of PDML members plus the infamous PDML Quotation list, a treasure trove of insight, wisdom and absurdity that's as diverse and odd as the members of the PDML themselves. (Note: Some of the more risqué quips from the web page have been omitted from the print version.)

E-Book Version Now Available

Yes, we've finally been dragged into the 21st century: The PDML Photo Annual 2011 is available as an ebook in the open-standard .epub format that you can view on your iPad, Nook Color or even your computer (using MibiPocketReader, Adobe Digital Editions or any of the other free ebook reader apps — A list of ebook readers that support the epub standard is available here).

The best part: The ebook costs much less than the paper version. Also the best part: Due to lower overhead costs, an ebook generates more money for Pediatric Oncology Global Outreach than the purchase of a paper book. (Your entire $6.00 donation, in fact.) It's a win-win.

NOTE: The ebook version is compatible with most ebook readers, but not the Amazon Kindle, due to Amazon's rather ominous refusal to support the open standard .epub electronic book format. Since the PDML Photo Annual is a book of color photography and the Kindle is B&W-only, this isn't really an issue. It really only makes sense to buy the electronic book if your ebook reader has a color screen.

The page of quotations alone are worth the experience. Wow. I laughed so hard I think I threw my auto-focus out of adjustment.
