Ladies & Gentlemen I have just looked at a few of these posts! There is an 
obvious error please take note!

A CORRECTION IS OBVIOUSLY REQUIRED!
Every book from the first has only photos accepted for the year of the book 
date.
IE: 2013 book? Regardless of how great a photo maybe or shot in 2012??????
It's tough titty..... It isn't available for use in the year 2013! Don't 
even consider challenging it! If you wish to cheat on your buddies and 
friends all well and good! Just don't let us find out! Let's keep it fair as 
fair.

These "rules as such." have been accepted each year as photos shot in the 
date year of the book! Not before nor after. The only changes from the very 
first book project started by Dr. Alistair Firkin when the photo had to be 
shot with a Leica and in the same year. But  that was changed after the 
LEICA manufacturing people started charging for Leica's above and beyond the 
abilities of many members of the CREW! So some leaway occured!

When the cost factor became a problem in " Leica only photos would be 
accepted or a LEICA lens adapted to any old camera box." Then Jim threw the 
door open to any old camera at all! Fair enough because in the hearts of 
all, we were and are LEICA Crew!

But the year the image was taken was always the year of the immediate year.
As this latest book is 2013! AND ONLY IMAGES FROM 2013 SHOULD BE SUBMITTED. 
It's so simlple and logical what the heck is yer problem?

I can't understand why this "year topic even raised it's head?" Given it's 
been the standard for close to 8  years and never been discussed before?

SO AS OF THIS DAY 5 DECEMBER 2013 IT DIES HERE AND NOW!

Forget it! DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S FAR MORE IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW?????

Sending your photos in! For heavan sake every year I have told you the 
extremely simple method for selecting two book images!

January 1 / 2013 open a folder on your desktop labelled "BOOK 2013." then as 
you shoot your way through the year and you are extremely excited about a 
frame that might go in the book? Then save it in the 2013 book folder." So 
now you have the "exciting images saved in one spot without looking all over 
your files trying to find a couple of "COOL" book photos.

And it doesn't matter how wonderful your image maybe from 2012? It's tough 
beans you missed the 2012 boat/book! And if you have one for 2013? AND YOU 
MISS THIS YEARS 2013 BOAT?  TOUGH TITTY THAT'S LIFE! GET OVER IT! JUST DON'T 
EVEN BRING ANY CONVERSATION UP ABOUT SUBMITTING IT FOR 2014!

I do believe this is as correct as it was laid out originally 8 years ago. 
??????????

I'd like to leave you with how great each of our book projects have been in 
illustrating the incredible talents within this LUG CREW! I see this minor 
question as a complete non-issue other than staying with "images of the year 
in the book have only photos from the same year!"

Jim if you would like to make a comment regarding this topic?  Thank you.

May we rest in peace on this "year SUBMISSION subject!' Thank you all.
cheers,
Dr. Ted Grant.
