Calendar

Hello Jürgen,

That is a nice way to remind us to turn the page of the calendar to see the next image for the month that is coming.

Maybe do that for the other 12 months that are coming up also!

thanks

guys and gals,
thanks to all that have helped me and helped others. there is a wealth of information here and to be able to tap into your minds has certainly cleared my mind on a few occasions. Still can commit to my first hasselblad. Perhaps i like the hunt more and love putting the lab coat on researching such a wonderful line up of gear.

2009 will be "my year of the blad"

thanks, have a safe start to 09.

Happy New Year to all, and let's hope the economy recovers fast (but not so fast that we don't get great deals on equipment).
 
As we still have a very deep winter here (no competition with Gary Benson in Alaska) I think , I should put up Marc A. Williams's February contribution for the 2009 calendar . BTW , it is the only real winterimage .

I will put a piece of wood into the fire .:)

Howdy y'all--

Thanks for the compliment Jurgen. I think that I will pay another visit during 2009 to Apple Springs, TX to shoot a few more frames of this home if it is still standing.

Hello Jürgen,

Thank you for your generosity!
I am honoured with your proposal for a new home but if you do not mind I rather stay where I am now.

This elegant and well maintained building is located somewhere in the US.
Nothing wrong with the US but I have too much continental blood in my veins to relocate permanently to any of the sunshine states.
I like California and Colorado very much but not as a place of permanent residence.
It is a great to stay there a couple of months a year.
Coming back in Europe makes me feel at home.

Gerard Morris' Contribution for the month of June .

Gerard

Is that place still for sale ? ? ?
I am permanently looking for a new house for our moderator , but still have not found a new home for him , which he would like .

Regards Jürgen
 
For all of you , who do not understand this post , I would like to point out , that this forum had a successful calendar project for 2009 ,
titled HOME SWEET HOME .

Now , for all those members , who did not , or could not , participate in this project , I like to show the contributions from the different members , who participated . All images were taken with HASSELBLAD cameras.
For this month , it is Eduardo's "stairway to heaven" . Eduardo lives and works in Mexico .

Have a good JULY , even in down under , where it is winter now .

Happy birthday John .

Thanks Jürgen,

This image gives me much pleasure.
It reminds me of the holiday house I have.
Much green and little gardening make this a very natural sight.

I hope you are doing better and that we will still see some more of your B/W

Good Evenin Jurgen--

Thanks for posting my image from the November page. I have really enjoyed the calendar and have shown off the pictures of all of the photographers who participated and also your expertise at building calendars to many friends and customers this year. The response is always the same--"Outstanding", is he going to produce another one for 2010?" My response to them is "maybe in a few years".
All is going well here in Texas--I will try to post some more pix soon.

Don
