I believe Panny just SAID that they have sent "...images of all kinds, from as many different generators that we can recognize..." Can you read??? I don't think you are right to be calling her a liar in not very thinly veiled, arch terms just because of some sour grapes you may have over the choices THE PRINT COMPANY has made in the past and I find this attitude detestable and crass and that you would air statements like that publicly a cheap form of grandstanding - trying to come off like one or another form of fractal art is "downtrodden" and it's "so unfair". Not to mention just plain "uncool" as we used to say. All Panny's doing here is turning us ALL on to a neat opportunity. Seems you hardly even post anything here and just like to surf around to a bunch of mail lists and forums and gab or try to drum up interest in your site. I'm not all that impressed with the images the printer selects for the calendar, either, and have never gotten one in it myself but I've never thought that the selection process was "rigged" in any way. I'm just not good at making images like those. I've tried for 3 years and probably never even "made the cut". There is a definite pattern to the "tastes" of the people who print that calendar that seems unchanging for every year they've made the thing. That's why they all "look the same". They are in BUSINESS fer cryin' out loud! Sheesh - same reason every band on the radio sounds like Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam or Limp Bizkit. Or why every female pop singer sounds like Brittany Spears or Madonna and LOOKS like them, too. It's a "tried and true" BUSINESS FORMULA that assures them they will make some money and they aren't about to go taking any chances. Typical corporate behavior. The Amber Lotus calendar folks are the same. They require that all 12 images have a "recurring" theme or they don't even want to talk to you. Does it show the "state of the art" in fractal art? No. Are the images selected stereotypical? Maybe, though they are colorful and neat and I've liked a lot of them. But those kinds of fractals have been proven to SELL and that's the ONLY reason they are printing the thing. We have absolutely no right to expect a corporation's selection process to be "transparent". It is a BUSINESS, not some egalatarian democracy or "Hot 12". You want to be in THEIR calendar? Well it's their show so you just have to "play 'em what they wanna hear...." I just haven't learned to play any of those "songs" worth beans, yet. lol And guess what? I guess I'm just a sucker but I've bought the thing every year since I first discovered it years ago. I'd buy Alice Kelley's too if it was sold at B&N. Just to see ANY fractals displayed like that is good enough for me.
