If you spend any serious amount of time on Google+ you’ll know that it has one of the most vibrant photography communities found on any social network. The sense of community on Google+ is far more tangible than other photographer-oriented sites like Flickr. So it’s not in the least bit surprising to find that a group of Google+ photographers have banded together to create a gorgeous collection of photographs – available as an ebook ($5), and in print in both hardcover ($75) and paperback ($65). The Plus One Collection was created with two main ideas in mind – one was to give these photographers the chance to see their photographs in print: “In today’s digital world, most photographs aren’t printed, and never become something tangible. Looking at photographs printed on paper is a very powerful experience. When photographs are tangible, they tend to last longer – in our minds and in our art collections.” The second reason turned the publication into a good cause: “…We hope to raise funds for a good cause to give back to our world. All net proceeds from the sales of the book will be donated to Kiva , a non-profit organization with a mission to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty.”
