How do you know who won in advance? Unless you mean "take pre-orders"
for the calendars... I'd love to
do this, but as Hans can attest, it's not a cheap
process.
I might be able to cheapen the process - I have most everything
necessary to put out a decent (tho not _extravagant_) calendar: Nikon
D70 digital SLR, color laser printer (for the cheaper pages),
dye-sublimation printer for the glossy coversheet(s), and a
comb-binder to put 'er all together. If you really needed a hole to
hang it from, I just happen to have a drill press, too. ;-) From my understanding, Hans could have made the
calendars much cheaper
if he had wanted to make some concessions in getting the
calendars
made. As it is, the pictures were taken with a very high quality
digital camera (to satisfy Tony, high quality relative to what digital
cameras can do ;), and he had actual lithographic plates made for
printing the calendars, instead of having them digitally printed.
