Ouch. Looks like I'll have to buy that Mac Mini I've been eyeing and do an iPhoto calendar to see my baby in print.

Fuzzy,

Don't give up yet...one of yours (#11) is in the 4-way tie. And, you can be assured that I want to see as many Proton's in the calendar as possible!

[fuzzy]

True... and thanks...

(ironically, I voted for all the pics in the tie)

Of course, this just gives me motivation to go take some more "scenic beauty!"-style pics for the 2008 edition.

You could use the four "runner ups" as four smaller pictures on the back of the calendar ("bonus" pictures!) and put the most voted for photo as the cover.

[k4tmc]

How about the original concept car as the cover photo? Or, can we use the Area 51 ad as a cover?

Just the logo would be cool on the cover...

i doubt we would be able to use the ad as a cover, we dont have rights to it.. unless someone who has it took a high res photo of it.. then maybe it would be considered photography instead of copyright infringement? i love the idea of using the 3 12th place photos that 'lose' in the poll to be bonus photos on the back page!! dont know how cafepress will do them though, im sure they have a preset calendar layout that asks for 12 photos and thats it, barts the one who would know the answer to that

[nfpgasmask]

Well, since the last 2 tie breaker images are so close, we could use one extra one so I have one to use for the cover.

I need to get full size images for all the shots to compile the calender, and then everyone needs to hope CafePress doesn't squash the whole thing because of their © infringment rules.

another question...


by the time these would hit our mailboxes, we're looking at ~Feb 1st right?
so is the January shot going to be 2007 or for 2008?

i'm sure we could get better preperation for another one next year, but January's shot probably isn't going to get a fair piece of the action on this one, will it?

not like it will matter a couple of months down the road anyway...just thinking.

Cryonman has a good point - this late in the game it would make sense to do a 13 month calendar (Jan 07 - Jan 08).

Is there some reason you're using CafePress? I'm sure there are many other options if they aren't cutting the mustard.

[nfpgasmask]

I was gonna use cafepress because its easy (relatively) and fast.

But, if someone else has a better idea and would like to take over, that would be fine with me. Once I get all the winners full size shots, I will compile the calender.

[nfpgasmask]

Another thing, CafePress only has 12 month calender layouts, I cannot modify it.

So, I will gladly throw in the towel here if someone else wants to take over.
