All that thoughts aside, I'm still torn between making it as good as possible, decent sized with lotsa images (pricey!), or making it affordable so they can also get one if they want to. Or perhaps I can do both since I'm planning to print it through on-demand printing service.
Either way, the editing process is still not going anywhere... damn it I need to make a concrete deadline!

The photos you've posted here are great. Really like them, expect maybe of the one with the hands which is a bit blurred, but maybe that's more for technical reasons.
I think your idea of making a photo book is good, it sure is a good present, especially coming from you, the photographer.
Don't bother thinking whether your photos are subjective or not, because they are and always will be. No matter what style you'll shoot in. It's photography, not science. Or brain surgery ;). You'll stop asking that weird questions when your friends will hold the book and be happy to have gotten it :p. And once it's available, post a link to a preview or something or shoot some pages of it, I'd be more than curious how yours will look like.
And have you already thought of which service to use for the book on demand? I've heard of Blurb(.com) much recently, think I'll make two books there till mid of May. Depending on size, pages and cover prices sure vary, but I think you can start pretty cheap (site says prices start at 12.95$) .. check the site and the pricing out if you haven't yet.
I always wanted to make a photo-book, but could not get a good reason for it, not to mention a good photos to fill-in.
I say, a photo is a fact. A print is a proof. By printing a book, you have proof, to whatever you want to convey inside.
Now that you have a good reason to make one, let's just do it. Hopefully you make a good habit of printing books. Lot's of 'em.
Anyway, the photos are great as always.
uhuhuuu, keren doook fotonyaaa T___T bener-bener punya emosi dan bikin aku kangeeeeen bgt sama kampus T___T
surprised that a professional procastinator needs to set a dead line ... :)
anyway, i think this is a worthwhile project. protographically it's an exploration of a subject many of indonesian photographers have not thought of yet.
keep me posted on the procrastination of the project! :)
Seb, thanks for the encouragement! I've checked out and heard lotsa good things about Blurb, but for this project I am thinking to make it less complicated by using a local printing service. Beside saving shipping cost, I think it'll also be easier to do some sort of 'quality control' with an offline service. I'll definitely post here how the book turns out once it's finished.
Billitone, I know what you mean, once I tried to edit all my best shots I've made so far to see how they look like as a collection of images but they end up just looking like a piled up random pictures, nothing more. No flow, no theme, nothing. It's definitely much more difficult than one might think to make a photobook.
Pipi, ayo² balik jogja kikiki :D
Eki, heh now that's an irony even I overlooked! :))
and oh, I really think indonesian photographers seriously need to have (or at least attempt to make) a photographic project to show their opinion about different matters in life, anything...
never do today what you can do tomorrow dude ... let there be nights !!!
