Thanks Stefan. This refers to my first post. It seems there was MAJOR confusion about how this worked. 

I guess people thought if they uploaded photos to the web site (wetplateday.org) that they would be in the book. That's NOT the case. They missed the link about the book and my posts here about sending me HIGH RES photos, releases, and additional information. 

We/I didn't make the assumption (nor did we have high res images and the other info) that everyone who made images that day wanted them published in a book. Maybe that was a bad assumption. However, I don't have the time to track down people who made plates on May 2 but didn't submit for the book or people that made plates on May 2 and didn't post to the site. And ask if they wanted to submit or not for the book.

I took the time this morning to separate the people that are on the site, but didn't submit. There were 55 that made plates and uploaded to the site. I have 43 for the book. Again, some didn't submit for the site and sent me images, don't let the numbers fool you (or drive you insane). 

Here are the MIA:

Will Dunniway
John Fobes
Jo Gane
N.W. Gibbons
Bryan Hiott
Steve Ingram
Tsuyoshi Ito
Andrew La Roche
Phil Nesmith
Tim Parson
Ed Ross
Barry Schmetter
Ichigo Sugawara
Jan Vogtschmidt
Masakazu Yasuda

If you want to be in the book (and I want you in), please go here and follow these instructions. I can regroup and add you, but please do this ASAP - let's make August 1 the FINAL DAY. Okay? 

Also, if you don't want to be in the book, that's okay, too - no problem. 

I hope this makes sense.
