Hi Bob,

Good question. *The other calendar vendors provided photos for most months
when asked. *When I asked the SSA for more images this year they said they
weren't sure that all the photographers that donated images would want them
used for "commercial purposes". *I found that a bit odd. *They have never
provided monthly images in past years either.

The SSA Calendars arrived today.

The Segelflug Bildkalenders should be shipping from Germany soon.

Nice looking shots for 2012! *I see you are showing monthly photos for
some of the calendars. *Why not for the 2012 SSA Soaring Calendar?

Paul,
I don't find the position the SSA is taking odd at all. Giving the
copyright for publication of a photo to the SSA is one thing, seeing
it used in other ways - potentially for commercial purposes - is quite
another. The SSA is protecting the potential interests of the photo-
donors (now there's an odd word). A compromise might be found in
having the donors agree that their photos are being offered for
download in a low-resolution format.
