I just voted for 12 photos on Larry's calendar photo site.  It was tough.  I had about 30 photos
on my "short list".  So I got to thinking what are/were my priorities for voting.

Well, after I voted for my photos ........

I look at the photos and I was drawn to photos that evoked a: "I wish I were there" or a "Boy,
where is that, I want to go there"  also a "relaxing" feeling.

Photos of vans in driveways, did not make the short list.
Vans abusing a natural surrounding were not considered.
Vans that were being tortured were not considered (too much tension & testosterone in the photo)

Was the photo properly exposed?
Is/Was the photo artistically interesting (rule of 3rds, for-ground, middle-ground, back-ground,
lighting etc).
One photo has a beautiful woman leaning against the van....... wrestling with my conscience.
Some photos would look nice in various seasons; e.g. snow & autumn colours.
I'm a sucker for mountains more than beaches, and I'm more of a desert rats than a jungle (forest)
rat, but some photos of sunny beaches would be nice for summer months.

In the end, I voted for escapism, I'll look at the calendar and be teleported from my desk to some
fantastic campsite, and if that happens to be some wilderness (stealth) campsite with a picture
perfect vista, so be it.

Thanks Larry for all of your work and I sure hope that you have backed-up all of the photos.
Malcolm
