I went into the office today to drop off my computer and stuff after being in DC last week. My shirt arrived while I was gone (looks like it arrived on Friday), but the calendar isn't here yet.

I received a coupon with my shirt for Free Supersaver shipping when purchasing $50 or more worth of stuff.

T-shirt seems pretty sturdy, using Hanes brand shirt which holds up pretty well. It is white however, so your guess is as good as mine as to how long before it is off-white.

The calendar arrived today. I think I like the cover the best, even though all of the photos are spectacular. Hopefully Jochen will help out with it again next year, and perhaps if we have the luxury of time, take submissions and have a panel select photos.

I was more concerned about the quality of the artwork on the T-shirt. It was something that was done so long ago that I'm not even sure that a high enough resolution was used. Does the artwork look OK? Not blocky or pixellated, I hope... Question

No, I didn't think it was boxy or pixillated. It looked like it was done pretty well. I do wonder what will happen during its first trip through the washing machine this week.

Ah, that's good to hear - hopefully mine won't be either then. Cool

As for washing it already, are you wearing this shirt to work?

No problemo. Or even better; I could ask my photoclub to provide pics for next year, and then you guys can choose all you want. As you know by now, 5 of us are going to Tanzania. Also, there's another guy who goes to uganda (see the gorillas), and another one goes to Shetland islands, etc... so...

no, we're business casual here, but not that casual. I had the stuff shipped to the office, since it wasn't clear if they were shipping via USPS or UPS. That way, I know someone's around to sign for it, even if it sits in my mailbox for a week.

Ok my copies arrived today. Bit smaller than I expected. No metal rings & stuff. But print work is pretty much 100% OK. Can't complain there! Looks the way it should!

Yes, got mine yesterday. As you say, a bit smaller than anticipated but looks good nevertheless! Smile

Hi Morten,

Thanks for buying the calendar! As said; you can download a desktop calender too now, if you want. For free of course. There's 2 versions:

1) The 1280x960px version (17" and 19" desktop)
2) The 1600x1200px version (21" desktop)

Let me know which one you want.

For pics, see page 1 of this thread.
