This is Part 1 of a story about making a photo book, doing it yourself (with some friends) and figuring it out along the way. The experience of self-publishing. This isn't a guide or lesson on how to do it, this is just a real look into what it can look like.

Huge thanks to Alec Soth for his time while I was in Minneapolis.
