A big thanks to everyone who offered their comments and opinions on a cover choice for my 2011 calendar. The blending of photography, art, rack appeal, and marketing present a challenge. I went back and forth on the selection, but ended up with my first choice, and the one that garnished the most votes by you all. I did add a stroke of red to the cover, since it has a great eye catching value to it. Calendars get placed in odd locations in the market place, and sometimes, all that is visible is the top few inches. Winter, although not unique to Alaska, certainly has an extended profile in this state. Most people that really enjoy Fairbanks, enjoy the winter in some respect, and I’m therefore keeping a winter shot as a cover choice, at least occasionally.
For those who are interested, I posted a .pdf near final, unedited version of the entire calendar here.
Thanks again, tomorrow it will be back to Antarctica.
