Swiss Peeks retired
Wednesday, 8th October 2008 • Photography • No comments
The Switzerland-based photographic community book project “Swiss Peeks – Switzerland Through Your Eyes” was retired at the beginning of October 2008. The three issues published between 2007 and 2008 will remain available for purchase in the Blurb online bookstore, but will no longer be actively promoted by an editorial team.
The Flickr group and website – previously at www.swisspeeks.ch – are closed for submissions, however the discussion groups at Flickr will remain open. The editors would like to thank all of the photographers and consumers who made the three published issues successful and wish them all the best for their continued photographic exploits!

The editors are especially proud of this latest issue in the series, particularly because it’s been featured both at Blurb and also on the Flickr user’s Mecca, the Flickr Blog.

The editors of the photographic book series “Swiss Peeks – Switzerland Through Your Eyes” are delighted to announce the publication of their second issue, containing a wide range of photographs from Switzerland fitting the theme “The Red Makes It”. The photographs have been submitted by a large number of photographers living in or connected to Switzerland and all of the photographs featured in the book have been donated free of charge to make this issue as good as it possibly can be. This issue is being sold online through the Blurb bookstore at no profit, to showcase photographs from Switzerland and the photographers who have worked together to make this project successful.
