2013 Calendar 'Old Winchesters and Marlins' (UPDATE)

Post by KirkD »

Boys, tonight I did away with indecision, got off my backside, and started working on a 2013 Calendar, 'Winchesters and Marlins of the Old Timers'. I have ten of the photos selected, including the cover photo. I have to take three more photos over the next week or so. Then I start the layout for each month's photo. I hope to have it done by the end of the first week in October.

UPDATE: The calendar is finished and I have ordered a copy to do a final check on the results. If it passes inspection, I'll post the link. I don't want to do that yet, in case there is something wrong in the actual printed version.

Count me in for at least one of these new calendars too Kirk. Your photos are flat out gorgeous. You manage to make the great old leverguns look even better than they already do. Please let us know when you're ready for orders. Looking forward to it. - DixieBoy

can you do a California version, that shows the effective date of each new gun law?

Wow, I guess I missed out on the first calender. I would love to have one of the 2013's

I have always thought you made the best pictures of those old guns.

If you could keep in mind during layout that some of us frame them I would appreciate it. I lost some of the descriptions on my first year pics.
Kind regards,

I'll try to lay them out so that neither the top hole, nor the holes for the coil spring binding interfere with any potential framing.

Try and hold off until I get a hard copy and make sure everything is good. My main concerns are: are the photos sharp? (I have to do some major resizing and converting before they wind up in the calendar.) Did the photos manage to fit between the hang hole and the steel coil spring holes? Are the color adjustments good in the photos? Did I botch something up big time? I think I've done everything right, but I never know until I see the actual hard copy. Last time, I had to do a few tweaks after getting the initial hard copy.

Tycer: you will probably get your calendars before I get mine, since I'm way up here in the Northern Wastes. Can you PM me to let me know if everything is good? (photos sharp, no holes in the pictures and descriptions).

If anyone else absolutely can't wait (e.g., catching the next shuttle off-planet and won't be back for a while), then PM me and I'll give you the special link but try and hold off if you can. :D
