And what's up everyone? Welcome back to the Daily PFAB. This is episode 133 for Friday, November 23rd, 2018 It's 9.54 p.m. Here on the East Coast and again, I know it It's been another freaking month since the last episode of my podcast, but I do have crazy exciting news for you this evening I just published my second book of the year and I started this one back in August I think I did an episode on it and said that I was gonna start the second book and it took me four months And so again, I apologize for the lack of podcasting episodes I haven't done any of the seven-minute leadership shows I tried to keep up with the Daily PFAB as much as I could but I just kind of fell behind because I really wanted to get this done in out for the holidays and You know more importantly after the year that I had last year I said that I was going to focus strictly this year on one goal and that was to publish two books in 2018 And so it looks as though I have met that goal and just submitted it to Amazon And I think it's gonna probably take 24 or 48 hours for it to pop up for it to pop up on Amazon But again, you can check it out and be the first to get it If you just go to Amazon calm and type in Paul Fallivolito You'll see the first book will pop up and then again the second book will pop up and there you go You'll be all set and again Thanks everyone to bought the first book I have great fans and followers of my photography and supporters of everything that I do and I hope you guys enjoy the second book as much as you do the first book and so Yeah, it's been that kind of a month.
I guess yesterday Thanksgiving today black Friday and again, I work that's all I do is work and have the laptop out shooting on Thanksgiving editing on Thanksgiving Uploading pictures on Thanksgiving and then dealing with the food baby while I'm trying to edit and preview and proof the book And it just takes time to do that stuff and today I took the last picture for the second book and so I've been waiting about a week to get that shot and so that's done and You know, I couldn't be more excited So as soon as it comes up I will do another episode and let everybody know that it is live on Amazon Com it's the only place you can buy it for right now and again, these are the perils of You know doing the whole you know publishing thing and until I get a hundred thousand dollars worth of sales You know, no one cares about this book. They just don't so again. That's not a goal I mean it would be great if I got a hundred thousand dollars in sales, but I didn't set out to make a book with that as a goal I set out You know because again if you're a photographer, you know, you have to sit there and ask yourself the question What do you what do you want to do with your pictures? You know, yes, it's great that I've been in magazines Yes, it's great that I shoot for the media and I can pick up a newspaper and see my pictures and you know That's great But you know magazines and newspapers get pitched and tossed and that stuff just gets forgotten about and so for me You know, even if I don't sell a lot of copies It was and it's important for me to be able to someday look back and be able to touch a stack of books and say You know, here's my life's work.
Here's the best of what I did and So that's kind of the goal It's it's truly not about the money for me and making a lot of money doing it would be nice But but again, that's that's not the that's not the goal here It's just to be able to you know, have something to look back on someday and to be able to pass on some day to other people and say Hey, this is this is what I did during my time as a photographer and you know if that inspires other photographers out there to do the same Thing then that's great You know, but that's that's the path I've chosen for you know, my photography and I'm sure in 2019 I'm gonna do more You know, I definitely want to do a strictly any MS book because I have the faces of EMS I have the hands of EMS pictures that I've done and some various other training pictures that I've done in my way in my black and white Style that I really think again tell the story of EMS and what we do So maybe that becomes a book or you know, I would love to do a holiday theme book There's other places I want to go I want to go to Cuba and shoot in Havana and shoot the cars and the architecture and the people there But again, it's all about money. It's all about getting there It's all about getting the time off of work to be able to do that stuff and you know We'll see what 2019 holds for me with photography, but you know if I could do one more in 2019 that would be great and You know, we'll just see where it goes from there But again, it feels good to accomplish a goal to be able to sit there and say a year ago I said I was gonna do this and and have it done. It feels pretty spectacular So again, thanks to everyone out there that supports me and my photography and I think that's gonna be about it for tonight So for one two seven one four three two three is the show call in number paulphilebletopodcast.com.
