Message from the Contest Organizer:
Congratulations to
the owners and photographers of the photos mentioned below. They
all appear
in
the
electronic versions
(Microsoft
Word and
PDF) of the 2004 Cape Dory Calendar which is
now available for download from our "Chandlery" page.
For the PDF version, just click on the calender thumbnail to the
right.
I tried to use as many photos as possible which means that in addition
to the main calendar photos, I've included insets where there was room.
The main photos are 150 dpi and print well even in black & white.
The insets are 72 dpi and appear a bit blurry, especially if you elect
to use the PDF version rather than the Microsoft Word versions. I used
the lower resolution on the insets in an attempt to keep the sizes
of these files to a minimum but you'll see that they are still rather
large.
The three photos receiving the most votes and their place in the
calendar are:
1st Place = David
VanDenburgh: 08-CD36 Ariel - Lake Michigan at
sunrise (February) 2nd Place = Andrew Breece: 43-CD27
Angelina - Holbrook Island, ME (May) 3rd Place = 3rd Place: Nick
Price: 11-Typhoon Pattie B - New Meadows
River, ME (April)

By the way, there were a few reasons why I chose PhotoWorks.com:
1) I already have an account with them and have been satisfied
with their products and services in the past; 2) they'll host online
albums
for free as long as you remain an active customer, which means
that you order something every once in awhile; and, 3) they had a
pretty
good selection of "photo gifts" which could be ordered
online and the photos from an online album could also be selected
to appear
on any of those gifts.
A 12-photo calendar was one of the options and I was going to give
people the opportunity to order their own calendars which would
allow them to select any of the photos from the online album. Has
anybody
noticed that I mentioned the online photo gifts option in the
past tense? Well all of the online photo gifts have been removed
from the
selection menu. I've contacted PhotoWorks about it and they've
indicated that they are having technical difficulties with the online
ordering
of the photo gifts so they are now unavailable. They couldn't
tell me when they expected to have that feature back online. When
it is,
I'll let you know. Hopefully it will not be too far down the
road. One good thing, at least, is that if you order a calendar,
it can start
with any month you choose. So stay tuned.
