One Rude Dawg, I will tell you the same thing I just told iwiley: Here is something about the mentality of my photography. I purposely do not have any desires to go commercial with my photos. As soon as a photographer does that, then it is a business and everything changes. Thank you for thinking the book would do well, and who knows? Maybe it would. It would take a lot of the enjoyment out of it for me. Now, I'm just pleasing myself and not responsible for pleasing anyone else. I don't have to answer to anyone. Here is another reason why the coffee table would not work for me: To publish a book like that since on many of the photos you can recognize the surfer by his or her face, I would have to get photo releases. As it stands right now, since I am not making any money on the photos and the photos are not degrading my subjects or offending them in any way I don't have to worry about photo releases. Thank you One Rude Dawg for the nice compliments though.
