Sooo, I'm working on a book about tiki mugs. :wink:

It's in the beginning stages, and I'm not ready to discuss details, but I am looking for submissions of tiki mug photos to use in the book. Anyone who submits a photo that gets used will be credited in the book, and if you like, I'll also provide a link to a URL of your choosing (within limits! :o ).

I'm looking for photos of tiki mugs that you own. Here's the criteria:

• Sharp, well-lit photos.
• The more angles, the better!
• Preferably at least 2000 x 1500 resolution. Any recent camera of 3MP (megapixels) or higher should be fine.
• Photographed on a contrasting background or, if you've got an artistic flair, in a scene of your choosing.
• Group shots are OK, but individual mugs are preferred.
• Any information you think is relevant or interesting about the mug.

If you're interested in submitting photographs, please send them to . I'll contact you for additional details, and provide a release for their use (in which it will be stated that the photos belong to you, and you are only granting permission for them to be used for this book—I won't own your photos, and I won't use them for anything else!).

This is such a great community, and I'm always excited to see what people here have to offer in terms of collections as well as creativity. I'm very excited to see your submissions.

Thanks for your help! I promise I'll post more details as the project continues. You're also welcome to contact me at the above address or in a PM if you have any questions.

For those who are curious, I'm an experienced, published author, and I know what's involved—this isn't a pie-in-the-sky project. I'm very serious about devoting the time and energy required to carry it to completion and do it well.
