Many probably don't know the true significance of this book. But after a college graphic design professor and advisor told me that I'd never make it as a graphic designer because of my lack of illustration ability, this graphic design project (which I received an A on) was my first foray into photography. Pursuing photography in my mind, would make up for my not being able to draw and thus ensure some sort of success in my chosen field of study. Though worn from travels and shuffles, this book still sits at my desk, reminding me of where I came from and that no one can tell me I'm a failure.
