New thread to tie a few things together as there's been discussion here and there and it's now definitely happening.
We could do with people chipping in with offers of help.
I'll post some key questions in subsequent posts.
Some background
Relevant 'parent' thread: photos of lea valley before Olympic development
Everyone who doesn't already know (eg @constant escape @Linebaugh @dilbert1 etc) should have a look at that thread to begin with. Rather annoyingly, the new dissensus theme, while really good in so many ways, has rendered the actual pics as very small thumbnails, but they blow up if you click on em.
Some quotes from that thread which birthed the idea:
(although, interestingly, my own thoughts at that time were for something more lo fi)
I then reminded Luke of the idea in a couple other threads: Reservoirs and dams, large bodies of man made water and hackney ragga

never mind a dissensus fanzine, we should all be crowdfunding a coffee table book of luka's photography
i would 100% stump up to crowdfund the book
these are so damn good. i'd happily help scan them for a book when this bs is over. serious offer.

Yeah it would properly ruin them to be in a proper coffee table book. Luka deserves better than that. Badly printed straight off here i reckon, complete with all the tangents and digressions. On a shitty printer as wll, not laser. Wet paper, wrinkled by the heavy greens

do you want us to start a kickstarter to get all those photos of the lea valley made into a coffee table photobook like woebot suggested?
i've called it 'olympic park' for now, and made the money wanted £2500 which i think is sensible.
