[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]For those of you who have already submitted? A major thank you! Kind of makes a guy feel special about our CREW helping other folks less fortunate! So crew let's get the pictures together and sent to Jim! It really doesn't take any time at all! And certainly takes the pressure off Jim when he sees the images arriving! The sooner the better. Jim will give the numbers of posted pictures as we move along each week! This of course is a "HELP REMINDER" to post if you haven't. Unfortunately if the numbers of submissions are slow and low? Need I? "HAVE TO BEGIN SCREAMING AND YELLING!" ;-) Naw me yelling? No need, as you all know we provide help for unfortunate folks who need our few dollars when we purchase one of our own books filled with our buddies and friend's pictures! Remember we're just looking for everyday "HAPPY SNAPS!" You like what you send? We all like what you send! We're not looking for Pulitzer Prize winning photos! The truth is? It's "LUG FAMILY PHOTOS!" Even those you have posted during the year! Those photos you like yourself and would like to see published in a book along with a bunch of like minded folks posted photos! Our LUG Family, that's what the photos and book is all about! "WE THE CREW!" Thank you all very much! Now please go and post 2 photos! You truly will feel better as soon as you hit send! cheers, Dr. ted :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: <tedgrant at shaw.ca> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Sunday, December 02, 2012 11:39 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] It's 2012 Leica Yearbook Time--PLEASE SUBMIT YOURPHOTOS!!!!

All details are here: >>http://leica-users.org/LUG-yearbook.html Dr. ted here! :-) For those of you who don't know? I am the most vicious whip you've ever encountered when it comes to our yearly LUG book! Please note that in my first post I am politely speaking in lower case text most of the time. And gently. THANK YOU! :-) HOWEVER I HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO "CHANGE VOICE AND TEXT COLOURS IN THE PAST!":-( Oh and some folks have been annoyed with my yelling at them! Hell if they weren't so stupid they'd have submitted their two photos with time to spare and I could've stayed the quiet soft spoken old fellow I am? ;-) ;-) With a single malt in hand! ;-) Yuletide and all that you know! ;-) ;-) NEWBIES and all the old guys like myself who's memory banks are slipping a tad? :-) The book submission costs you nothing! ...... JUST GET 2 PHOTOS IN ON TIME sent to Jim..... NOT THE LIST! NOT 5 minutes to midnight dec 31! ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But what it does mean at this time of economic troubles is? "WE!" The LUG Crew when we purchase a copy or two of our LUG BOOK we help less fortunate at these unfortunate economic times. Please get them in on time. Thank you, Gracias, Merci, Danka. TO ALL LUG MEMBERS!!!!!!!!!! PAY ATTENTION on this one! That ladies and gentlemen means everyone of you regarding your photos for the 2012 book! 1/ To save any of you asking again what the book specs are and to avoid Jim wasting time posting them again? RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! PRINT THEM OUT AND KEEP THEM BESIDE YOUR COMPUTER UNTIL YOU'VE SENT YOUR PHOTOS AND OR JAN. 1, 2013 ARRIVES! OR CREATE A FOLDER WITH THIS PAGE INSIDE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE! All details are here: http://leica-users.org/LUG-yearbook.html BACK TO: Jim Shulman instructions: THANK YOU. But to summarize: 1. Please submit images captures/taken during 2012. Up to two per person. 2. You need not have used a Leica Camera or Lens to capture/take the image. Pick your two best from this year. 3. Submit images to jshulman at judgecrater.com DO NOT SEND YOUR IMAGES TO THE LIST! 4. Images must be at least one meg in size, .jpg format. 5. You DO NOT HAVE TO PURCHASE ANYTHING!!! At the end of the month, I?ll make the yearbook publically available, as with the previous editions. 6. Anyone can submit images. Friends, other photographers you know, spouses, children, pets (if they can press a capture button). Important: I post images within 48 hours of receipt. If you don?t hear back from me after two days, assume that your images were not received!!! Each yearbook has a $5 surcharge over the basic blurb.com cost, which goes to Project H.O.M.E. in Philadelphia. Since 2006 the LUG?s vanity project has resulted in more than $3000 in donations to Project H.O.M.E.<<<<<<<<< Now, it?s up to you, Uncle Ted <g>. Best, Jim Shulman OK crew! There you have it from the "SUPER BOSS BOOK CREATOR!" JIM SHULMAN! A little background for the newbies and oldsters! ;-) Each December 1. Jim begins the lay out of the Year book for the year ending. In this case 2012! As fast as the photos arrive he begins inserting and laying it out. The number for submission is two photos! That's all (2) and if you did make a folder on Jan.1, 2012 you have your quick selection, selected, sized and sent today or within the next couple of days. I know you do have them already! So kind of you! Yes the absolute maxed out deadline is minutes before midnight 31 December 2012! What many of you do not take into consideration is? Or you do not know is? Our beloved book master ... Jim Shulman..... does it all by himself!!!!!!!!!! THAT MEANS IF YOU WAIT TO DEC.31 OR SHORTLY BEFORE THAT to submit your photos............ HE DOESN'T GET TO CELEBRATE MUCH OF A WELCOMING IN THE NEW YEAR! You folks? Are all out having a grand time and fun! Jim? He's slaving his butt off putting together a book that makes all of us look great "IN A PHOTOGRAPHY BOOK!" Which most of you will not likely ever have happen on your own! Here you are holding a "real photo book" And you have photos in it! your published name! So what I'm asking for this year most kindly is? Please, submit your photos early so Jim isn't slugging his guts out at 11.59 pm 31, DEC. 2012! To squeeze that late sender onto a page and off to the printer to be printed within minutes of the clock ringing in the 2013 New Year! So let's get cracking today looking for those two photos. Those of you who actually paid attention last Jan. 1, 2012 and created a "BEST 2012 PHOTOS" folder pick two and send today. Thank you all so very much! cheers, Dr. ted (whip-master for 28 more days) ;-) _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
