Beginning with calendar year 1997 and ending with calendar year 2006, I produced and distributed calendars of my photography to clients and friends. This project gave me the chance to keep them in touch with this work (dating back as far as 1964); to play with issues of theme, sequence, organization, and juxtaposition; to think and write about what photography means to me; and to give a small seasonal gift to the friends, colleagues, and clients that I am fortunate to know through my personal and professional life. This project has been well received and supported by paper mills, paper merchants, and printers.

Each calendar was thematically or geographically organized except for the first, which matched pairs (but on the same spread) disparate in time and place. 1998's calendar exhibited photographs made during "Freedom Summer" in Mississippi in 1964. "The Architecture of Memory," in 1999, featured photographs of cemeteries. For 2000, I integrated my photographs of Venice with watercolors and drawings by landscape architect Laurie Olin. 2001's calendar, "In Passing," combined photographs of Paris made in 1999 with images taken from a moving car of the roadedge between Philadelphia and Buffalo made in 1974.

"Paris Dreamwalk" was the title of the 2002 calendar, and the subject of an exhibition at Exhibit 231 gallery in Philadelphia. There was no calendar for 2003, as my family and I were in Rome. The next two calendars, "In Italy" and "Rome Journal," featured work from that wonderful year. Over time, the calendar part of the calendar gradually diminished, from actually usable in 1999 and 2000 to an almost complete absence in 2005 and 2006, which featured important events but no numerical matrix.
