Fantastic, I love this. I'm curious about your process....when are you going to do a west coast, i.e.California, workshop?

Kathy, I just set the pages as you see, shine a LED from behind through the pages and used the smallest f/2.8 on a Tamron 90mm macro lens.  Shoot on an angle rather then straight into the pages where you would be seeing the light.  I don't have any plans in the next year or two to head west.  As long as I keep selling out on the east side of the country, doesn't make financial sense to travel so far to the west and lose money in travel time costs.

I don't think it gets more creative than this.
