Because of formatting issues I had to swap El Cazador Golf Ball Howitzer for IntoDeep's Bronze Mtn Howitizer.   Bronze Mtn Howitzer will now be the cover and Golf Ball Howizter will be May.

[EL Cazador 66]

What do you mean formatting issues? Please explain..

The picture would not fit in the dimensions submitted.  The cover require a picture that is taller than it is wide. The months need a picture that  is wider than it is tall. 

I tried swapping January and the cover and January would not fit either.  Actually they fit, but the  calendar company software auto sized them then and would let either one be more the 3.5 inches tall. Some to do with size ratioa's.  The cover is 11" by 17".  Monthly photos are 11" x "8 1/2.

I tried resizing the photo's. That didn't work.  I have a couple of ideas that I might try tonight.  But we are running short of time.

I recalled something from my 1984 college class introductions to Computers.  Don't a tell a computer what you want it to do, tell it what it wants to do.

I changed the calendar format and size, and changed the resolution of the pictures.  Not only was I able to restore the Cover pic to the cover, but some smaller pictures else where were enlarged.

If you go to GBO E-Store at GBO BPM&C you will find the calendar already for sale!!!

Really good shots there! I asked my wife if we could get one of these for the calendar we hang in the kitchen (every family has their “house” calendar). She just gave me that look. You all know what look I mean. Still, probably going to get one for my office because those photos are just too cool!
I have a feeling that next year’s competition will be even more incredible as the bar has been raised. I need to break out my coehorn and camera and get to work this spring!
