Yeti Leaves Home

Yeti Leaves Home

At some point in our lives, the place and people we grew up with are not ours to call home anymore. “Yeti Leaves Home” tells the tale of one young Yeti’s travels, as he sets out to make a new home for himself.  The book also relates to those moments in children’s lives when the act of growing up requires their independence and confidence.  Join Yeti through his many trials and triumphs and share the joy of all the friends he meets along the way.  Will Yeti find a place to call his own?

It’s this sort of thing that I love Kickstarter for, someone has a story they want to tell and it can happen. This is not to mention that it can, and often does, remove those barriers between the creators and the consumers. In the disintermediated model of Kickstarter a conversation can grow between the participants and a deeper relationship can be formed.

Plus, like parfait, everyone loves Yetis.

For you!

I believe that Gabi sees the camera as much of a part of me as my nose or one of my hats since she is often oblivious or unconcerned with the click and whir of the shutter. When she does take notice, like in the last two shots, it feels less that she is communing with me as she is with the camera for when I pop out from behind the lens she often has a vague look of disappointment .

Take time to read.
