MB Calendar Voting is closed

Post by ScootLemont »

Everyone is welcome to vote! (you did NOT need to submit a photo to vote for your favorites.)
Please vote only once, for FIVE of your favorites.

VOTING IS NOW CLOSED




the 70 entries are below & they have all been cropped to the perspective we need for the calendar - some of the submitted portrait photos did not crop well at all & are not included below.

EDIT
the 70 pics have been removed to save some of my bandwidth (they were all on one of my servers) - the winning pics are still up on page 2 of this thread

Agreed—hard to pick just 5!

We may need to do another round of voting depending on results. :)

I think it's better not. Makes the end result more entertaining! (and it prevents some from being influenced by front runners)

Agreed, it makes the end result more reliable; it's like a secret ballot. I'm just looking for some exit polling.

That was not fair, having me limit my favorites to 5 :( Bum pats to all who made the top 70. A good group of pics. Makes me proud to love my Buddy.

Deservingly so. I remember reading about this trip a while back, can't recall the details, but it was pretty cool nonetheless. And the quality of the picture is nearly perfect. I actually feel bad that I didn't think to post any pictures of 'trackpete' on his trip to Alaska on the Rattler. So many great photos in his album, and he's off on his next epic adventure (riding all across South America) for the past few months and hasn't checked into MB in a while.

Top 14
front and back cover.

Eric is going to build it so its his call... some of them clearly are seasonal
I was planning on leaving the order in erics hands but I think the lowest 2 of the vote getters should be the covers since they wont spend a month hanging on our walls

Usually the cover of a calendar is also shown for one of the months... People have one picture to look at throughout each month, if you put the ones that get the most votes on the covers then when will you ever see them unless you take your calendar down?

I've forgotten. Is this going to be a 2012, or from June/July to June/July? It doesn't really matter, of course, I'm just curious.

but we can make it any 12 months we want

I propose a new vote, to determine which 12 months the calendar will cover. I vote for March 1965, June 1982, September 1982, June 1983, July 1983, March 1986, March 1987, April 1989, June 1991, September 1997, September 2001 (because I had my picture in the newspaper that month, writing an op/ed piece about You Know What), and November 2008.
