[Rhodes22-list] Need opinions...deadline approaching

[elle]

John,

The cover  & all the internal shots are full bleed. I send 'em borderless photos.

All they print on the cover is the date. The last page is longer than the others & has all the bank info on it.

Entrants can send up to four shots, one for each season....they'll only pick one, so I hate to 'waste' four really good shots...;^)  Altho' I can probably resubmit  some again the next year...
 Last year they had @ 250 entries...the calendar lady emailed me yesterday asking if I was planning to send any this year....

I was just joking aboout the cover...I havve the cover for the museum calendar w/ an aerial I took & have two or three inside.

Now if someone would just pay me...;^)

We can't change the angle of the wind....but we can adjust our sails.
