This is the preliminary calendar on this page.
Why?
Putting together a calendar is tougher than people might think - in other words I'm trying to generate sympathy
for the decisions I made, or at least for the sturm und strang involved in making those decisions - or maybe it is another in
my series on "understanding human nature".
Anyway, here is the last round of images I sent out to a dozen people for comments and criticism. I tried a calendar a couple
years ago, and got bogged down in the decision making process. This year, I decided to do a calendar at the last moment, and thus
had no time to get bogged down in the process. Also, this calendar is somewhere between a personal project to share with a few friends
and trying to make a "product" that will sell and make moola. So my concerns about getting it "perfect" were considerably deflated
by these considerations or lack thereof.
For your amusement, the round 2 candidates. Commentators were asked to vote on each image on a scale of 1 to 5; or to indicate which
four images they would cut to get down to 12. On the next page will be the feedback I got back from this process.
