And what's up everyone and welcome back to the daily PFAB. This is episode 119 for Monday, August 27th, 2018 It's now 848 p.m. Here on the east coast and if you haven't done so jump over to Amazon Dot-com and type in my name Paul Falvolito And you'll see my book that pops up you can buy it as a soft cover or a hardcover Version and it'll be shipped directly to you and that's actually what I wanted to talk about this evening Was since my book went on sale. Oh geez, maybe God.
I don't even remember. I think it was maybe June or or July I finally made it public on Facebook and did the live video to announce the release of the book and since then I've probably I've sold a decent number believe it or not which I was surprised about because I was a little worried about the price and I'd Explained all about the price and why it was as high as it was in the live video But the thing is whenever I log into the administrator side to see the book sales I don't get to see who actually purchased the book all I see is a number of units sold And so I've often wondered who who is buying it what part of the country or the world are they buying it? and so I've relied heavily on the people on social media to take a picture of it on their coffee table and Post it which two or three people have done that. It was actually pretty cool.
I've actually downloaded and saved those pictures because you know To me, that's the greatest stuff. That's the greatest gift in my mind is to see your artwork and your photography Displayed in someone else's home. And so that was pretty spectacular to see that and to view that but like I said, I don't know Who's buying them? You know, I'd love to know who's buying them But I don't like I said, I don't I don't have access to that.
I don't get to see it because of the publishing company You know, they retain the rights of the the purchaser So they're the ones that get the name and phone number and home address. I don't as the artist I don't get to have that info So thank you to everybody that has purchased a copy of it and if you're considering purchasing a copy of it You know, thank you in advance for that consideration, you know the holidays I mean Jesus summer is like it's like it's Labor Day weekend right this this weekend is Labor Day weekend I can't believe the summer has already come and gone which means holidays are right around the corner September through December are my favorite four months of the year and So holidays right around the corner. So it is a neat little gift idea for anybody that has that hard to buy Person in your life and if they appreciate art and photography I think they might enjoy this book. I am happy to announce that I have already begun production on my second book so that little trip that I just took to Honduras and Belize in Mexico I shot a lot of pictures and my next book is going to be all about nature and animals and I think I might call it through my lens innocence because to me that's what it's all about when you look at some of these animals and is I'm holding them and getting up close with my camera and you know when you have monkeys hanging on your camera lens and you're looking into their eyes, it's it's a pretty magic moment that you can't even describe or Replicate unless you actually go do it and I guess that's the same for all animals even for our pets as well there's that sense of innocence about them and you know to be able to have that chance to go out and you know Shoot the sloths and the monkeys and the tropical birds and some of the landscapes that I got to do and I and I think I've posted a couple of those the Fist of God picture and sunset over Mexico and storms of Cuba.
There's something horribly innocent about Our world when you look at it from afar and get to capture just that natural beauty It's I can't wait to put this next one together But I'll be honest with you I think I'm gonna take one more trip somewhere because I'm fearful I might not have enough So I don't know what I'm gonna do yet, but you never know I may be off grid again here sometime in the next Before the end of the year to capture some more I do have one idea that I want to do it would take me about five days to do and Require me to drive about a thousand miles. I think round trip maybe and I think I can do it in five days I've been looking at it on a map, but I don't want to tell you what the idea is I'd rather leave it for the book, but if I can pull that off I think that would be pretty spectacular, but what I will tell you is coming up here probably in the next Two weeks sometime probably after September 7th. I have a whole new line of product coming out and it's gonna be my Photography on refrigerator magnets and a couple years ago I had printed some of my work on some refrigerator magnets sold through mPix and Although it looked beautiful and it looked great that small on a refrigerator these little mini, you know works of art I thought was a neat idea I wasn't in love with the product itself the actual magnet that mPix sold It was like this shiny aluminum the picture was printed on it They sent you a magnet that you had the peel the sticky tape off of it put on the back of the magnet and I didn't like that What I wanted was those Rectangular almost I mean I call them airport magnets when you pick them up and you flip it over and you look at the magnet side How the back of the picture comes down over the magnet and it's crimped and they have the name of the picture the name of the person that took it The barcode on the back That's what I wanted because I wanted these magnets to have the name of the picture imprinted on the back and have you know Paul Fallelujah photography in my website and my contact info on the back of it So that everybody could truly have these you know I mean that's honestly the best way to describe it is these little mini works of art as a two by three refrigerator magnet and so I Looked she's probably for a year online and could never find a company that makes those airport magnets and by chance About two weeks ago. I stumbled across a company that did them.
They looked exactly like the airport magnets I was a little skeptical so I ordered two as a you know Just to get samples and they came in and they look gorgeous and it's exactly what I wanted And so now I have gone ahead and I think I ordered seven or eight as samples Just you know my favorites that I would keep on my refrigerator Just to see how they look and if they come back and they look just like the others and the print on the back is readable Then I'm gonna get those mass-produced get them up on my website so that you will be able to order You know either them individually or what I just may do is I may put them together in a series You know I may do Like storms over Cuba fist of God and sunset over Mexico kind of as like in ocean series or I may do an animal series Or I may do like my Pittsburgh landscape series I don't know but nevertheless, that's that's where my mind is that's what I'm thinking right now here for the next couple weeks is I'm trying to you know kick off the layout for my second book and I think that's pretty much about it But I definitely wanted to plug in and get recorded tonight just to touch base with all of you and let you know What's cooking in my mind? four one two seven oh one four three two three is my show call-in number and again Thanks to everybody that purchased the book and actually posted pictures of it online and actually sent me messages to say You know I got it. I love it. It looks great on my coffee table That's I mean that's that's why I do this stuff honestly.
It's very rewarding more so than than the money so Paul Falleto podcast calm. Thanks for listening
