Good points made, Igor
Bob W already had the uneasy feeling about the cranes and I can see
that! Especially since I was here on 9/11 and it approaches again.
But at the time I produced it it was just my anger at the building going
up in the place it did.. I'm more forgiving of that building now
because of the reflections it produces.
I'm giving all of these a 2nd third and fourth look and going back to
dig for more that might work better.
One thing to remember (reminding myself too) is that basically I'm just
going for 12 good photos taken in New York - title can come later -
and that since it is a wall calendar no one is looking at the photos
as a sequence - and I think a bit more variety is called for..
and I guess I should have it more upbeat than dark humor - save dark
humor for a book perhaps.
The thing about doing the calendars is I don't have to spend anything
but TIME. cafepress supplies the bottoms and does some of the
marketing. I just have to design and load and say "publish" (on my
shop) but people can find the calendar on the general marketplace too.
For myself and one particular friend, I'll be doing and oversized
calendar of pretty color stuff
Thanks for input - you and everyone
It really is a help

Ann,
I would vote off the following:
17 at MOMA
14 snapshooting
13 chihuahua
12 Midtown Holiday shoppers
8 Windows
3 "cranes"
Reasons: 3, 13, 14, 17 - not being in the same theme (NYC streets).
12 - I think this image is much weaker than the rest of your images
8 - I am on the fence with this one. While it is a curious image, for
some reason I don't think I'd like this pm a ca;emdar .. probably
because it's unresting.
3 - I found it being disturbing to my eye. At first, I even thought it
was from 9/11.
However, on the 3rd and subsequent looks (on a larger screen), I don't
have that feeling any more. So, it might be fine in the series.
13 - looks very low contrast, greyish, as if it was from an old film...
If it were mine, I would boost the contrast on it.
On the opposite end, these are the best from the bunch:
2 On the Williamsburg Bridge
5 Tour bus
15 fantasy world
I am fluctuating between liking and not-liking #16 "From Hoboken".
I hope this helps.

for My NYC street shot Calendar
Well I'm down to 16 -- need 12
Given that I may totally ignore your choices - can you help me decide?
About half of them are definitely in - but I won't say which ones..
maybe I'm wrong about them..
So have at it and please tell me which you would take out, not want to
look at on your wall for a month, etc.

I've promised a friend I'd do a new flower calendar too - but that
one has a hook such that no one can see it until I get it done.
(hint- something the flowers have in common that isn't obvious to
a gardener or jsut nature lover - it will include a quiz)
Thanks for any help
ann
