Glad it got to you, despite taking the scenic route there. Actually, I ordered a copy for myself about the same time as you, and I have yet to get it! Maybe in tomorrow’s mail… Good to hear the printing looks good – I did sample one other publisher, and I wasn’t happy with the paper and print quality. I’ve heard nothing but good about Lulu, so that’s the direction I went…glad to see it looks like I made the right choice.

Using the Lulu calendar templates restricts what I can put in there – there’s only room for simple captions under each image, and no blank pages for photographer’s bio, etc. and the back page isn’t customizable. Pretty straightforward. Next year I’ll probably do things differently, or perhaps make some suggestions to Lulu about adding some features to their templates. Time will tell…

From Raleigh NC to Boston to Rochester NY.Then FedEx to Buffalo for customs clearances, than Fort erie Ontario then
Toronto and then BACK to Stoney Creek ontario and then BACK to Burlington, a rather round about way if you follow on a map.

The nine pieces of documentation plus the cost of going acrpss an international border was rather shocking in cost compared to the original cost of the calendar.

All quite expected; post 9/11 paranoia is the word everywhere
or so it seems.

Was surprised there was no description of you the phtographer, just 12 nicely exposed night shots with simple descriptions. Must admit the printing was quite good, and the months hae all the major US holiday dates mentioned.

Maybe next year at this time, eh?

Cheers
