Our second Kickstarter phase is up and running with only a few days to go untill the 16 SEPTEMBER deadline. We need to get about 130 more book pre-orders. This will make it possible for us to do a higher quantity print run and also spend more quality time on the project. WE NEED YOUR PRE-ORDERS!For $50(R365) you'll get a hard cover coffee table book... this would probably be less than what you'd buy the book for in a shop like exclusive books anyway. So it is not like you are giving to a charity, you are just ordering a book in advance - you are welcome to pledge more though and there is pledges that will get you a large print and also special mentions in the book. Kickstarter is a pledge for reward social platform that we are using to facilitate the pre-orders and funding for the project. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bicycleportraits/bicycle-portraits-part-ii-everyday-south-africans-0/widget/card.jpg Read all the interviews and see more photographs on the site www.bicycleportraits.co.za As we are working on the book we are also doing some video portraits that we are eager to develop more into a documentary. Remember to watch some of the videos on vimeo... Previous publications about South African culture from Stan Engelbrecht and Day One Publishing - Really worthwhile to check out!http://www.dayonepublications.com/Day_One/African_Salad_Look_Inside.htmlhttp://www.dayonepublications.com/Day_One/Miss_Beautiful_Look_Inside.html Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bicycle Portraits Posted September 6, 2010 Share Thank you so much Guy! Really appreciate your generous pledge and for letting me know you pledged on here, often wonder how much interest there is from thehub. I've seen another one of those Ferrari frames in Johannesburg, quite classic. Would be interesting to know who built those frames for them. Please spread the word. Only 10 days to go!
