I've never self-published a photo calendar before so this first effort is kind of exciting. I chose Lulu.com which does printing on demand… I didn't have to contract to print a bunch of stock that won't sell. On the other hand, quality of reproduction is a little uneven with two images that had subtle tones looking a little off-hue, even unsharp. So I'm not wildly enthusiastic. Most other images look fine to very good — especially the sunflower and the dragonfly. The process allowed me to add special events or "holidays," so I researched and added a bunch of astronomical occasions but nothing too geeky. I suppose as self-promotion this isn't the kindest review but I want it to be honest. Click here and enjoy the preview! {This is a re-post without a somewhat clumsy embedded object.}

I thought I'd had one too many wines – first I saw your calender on the neighbourhood view and then it was gone! Now it's back. It looks great. I love the bird shots and the underside of the pink flower (that one might be my favourite actually). I'm glad you are getting nice comments re your show at the library. Yes idealism is wonderful but it doesn't put food on the table.
The preview was removed, changed, and removed again and a hyperlink put in its place. I liked the embedded preview but it was kind of clunky. Strong sunlight coming through the flower washed out the color of its petals and really transformed the feeling of the photo. I like that one a lot myself, even without wine! LOL — JG
Got mine! Love it! Showed it off and everybody else loved it as well! It's a hit!And… thanks!
