A few weeks ago I used Blurb.com to create a 40-page photo book using images from our wedding in October 2009. Today they arrived and I’m quite pleased.

We opted in for the premium paper and went with their hardcover image wrap. Their software was easy to use, had some nice layouts to choose from, and allowed me to create my own. The result is a nice photo book with full image bleeds.

If you are a family member or friend and wish to buy a copy for yourself, visit our Blub account. If you just want to view the photos from our wedding, this Flickr set contains all of the images that were taken by our professional photographer.

(online story with my image)

Here is the original image. And yes, I’m both the photographer and the hand model.

If you are a genealogist studying the Cameron family from North Carolina, then A History of the Cameron Family in North Carolina by John Burton Cameron of Broadway, North Carolina, published in 1967, will interest you.

This publication contains two parts:

  1. Part I: Descendants of Allen Cameron and his wife Mary Stewart
  2. Part II: Descendants of Norman Cameron and his wife Rachel Bruce

I hope you find this information useful.

Note 1 (2010 Feb 20): Instructions on how to enlarge each page
  1. Click on an image within the slide show, this will take you to Flickr.com.
  2. Above the image is a toolbar. Click on the All Sizes button.
  3. Optionally, click on Original to view a very large version of the image.
Here is an example of an Original image that I took of this book. You will have to scroll both down and right to view it all.
Note 2 (2010 Feb 20): Download Cameron Reports in PDF format My research certainly references and is based on A History of the Cameron Family in North Carolina. While I do not have a transcript of this 1967 resource, these PDF reports contain similar information and may be a better resource than the photographs I’m offering of the original document. Incidentally, if someone wants to transcribe A History of the Cameron Family in North Carolina verbatim, I would be happy to post its text here as well.

I don’t know what it was about this week, but I received two emails asking for some PHP and CSS help from individuals who recently read my 2003 A List Apart article entitled “Keeping Navigation Current With PHP.”

While the lessons in my article are still relevant, I’m just a little surprised it’s still being found, read, and followed.
