We've been busy at home trying to sort out life, work and post holiday post production in the last couple of weeks
In the meantime, we received some great news that our book on Iceland won the landscape category for Momento photobook of the year :) Momento also won an Asia Pacific award using our book as a demonstration on what is possible through their software. Marianne was largely responsible for putting together the Iceland book. I mostly put together the Scotland book which made the cut for the finalists in the Travel Category.
The prizes were generous but the credit needs to be used by later this year so we're trying to find time to produce a NZ south island book which needs to be completed at some stage in the future when we actually see the other 66% of the island lol.
(My apologies if there's too much self-horn tooting in this thread but ever since our trips to Iceland, we've had such a strong emotional tie to that country and are chuffed that other people get to see it through the added exposure)

the book itself is here :

and our certificates :)

thanks again all ! as much as we love momento and will be using up the credit, I do think momento may need to rethink their momentoshop strategy when it comes to pricing for the general public though - I'm not sure anyone would buy a photobook for 100 when printed ones go for half that price!
