Never quake in fear as long as you submitted them.:-) It's the complete dimwits who deliberately hold off as close to Dec.31 as they simply can because? "THEY MAY TAKE THE PICTURE OF THE YEAR?" Which in at least 99.999999999% of the time is quite likely completely impossible. It's so much easier to accept you are not in a competition of any kind and submit a couple of nice happy snaps. Then sigh gently feeling great that little chore is over with! Sigh once again and wait to order your copy of the book 1 minute after midnight into 2014. Then receive your copy of the book a week or so later and you're all twinkle toes seeing your two photos in a book! :-) Damn and do you feel good about seeing them there? YOU BET YOU DO! PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU'VE NEVER HAD A PHOTO PUBLISHED IN A BOOK? cheers, Dr. ted ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aram Langhans" <leica_r8 at hotmail.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2013 7:03 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] LUG Yearbook off to slow start >I submitted mine a few weeks ago, but Ted has me quaking in my boots and >shaking at the computer.
