OK, call me ignorant, but I can't see which picture goes with which number. 

Not that it matters, I guess, because picking any 13 at random would still result in a great, great calendar!
Wake me when it's time to go.

The numbers are the filenames (e.g. #17 = http://www.bigbendgallery.com/2010-calendar-nominations/17.jpg)

Yeah, that was difficult...good thing we weren't busy at work!  :eusa_whistle:

I shared the photos with my coworkers and they were in awe. Lots of "ooh" and "wow"....I found myself narrating the slideshow giving location and photographer credits. After a few credits I thought to myself, "whoa....I know these guys and they're my friends"....what a lucky girl I am!  :eusa_clap:
