Sir John Herschel tribute journal

The Sir John Herschel tribute journal is a daily planner and contains both pre-defined pages and blank pages for you to plan your year. The templates are there to help you focus on your art projects as well as get a balance with work, home and everything else that happens in life. The journal is a tribute to Herschel, who gave us many of our beloved alt. processes such as cyanotype, anthotype and chrysotype.

An explanation of “undated”:
For each month, there are pages with blocks for the entries for each day.  The blocks are numbered from 1 to the end of the month (i.e.,28/29/30/31).  In small type at the top of each block, are the seven days of the week which can be checked as appropriate for the given year. 
The undated Sir John Herschel tribute journal can be used for ANY year (“unyeared” is a better word, since it has the days of the months written out but can be used for any year). It contains both pre-defined pages and blank pages for you to plan your year and make time for your art. The templates are there to help you focus on your art projects as well as get a balance with work, home and everything else that happens in life.
Why buy it here?
When you choose the option to buy directly from us, most of the money goes towards running AlternativePhotography.com. When buying from Amazon we only get a small percentage – but also a good option!
Why can I buy it both on Amazon and Lulu?
We want to make it available to as many as possible at an affordable price so by publishing the book in more than one place we are able to give you a lot of choices in formats, and the best price.
