My dear brother always wanted this calendar every year - because he loved the incredible Ansel Adams photography and because the boxes provided for each day were large enough to write several appointments. He was ill with AIDs and needed a lot of space for doctors appointments and so on. Since he died five years ago, I continue to send the calendar to his partner of 21 years, who finds a wonderful continuity in having the calendar each year.

You can't go wrong with Ansel Adams calendars. His black and white photographs are beautiful, and the calendar is well-made of high quality heavy-weight paper. It's larger than most calendars, so check the size before buying.

My Ansel Adams Wall Calendar (2006) is absolutely beautiful. I start each day looking at serene beauty as I check for my scheduled activities. My 2007 calander is just as beautiful. Why consider any other?

The stark beauty of Ansel Adams' works never cease to amaze. The calendar itself is large, on heavy stock and features a spare design.

It's got 12 pages and about 30 or so nice, large squares per month (neat how that works) printed on nice, thick 'n shiny stock paper that's great for writing short 'note to self' stuff on and it has a small hole thru each page so you can hang it on the wall, brilliant! ...all kiddin' aside, Ansel Adams calendars are great because of his exceptionally detailed black and white photos. I'm not a big camera or photo buff, but I can spend several minutes gazing at the expansive shots he took with their razor sharp detail, all the more amazing considering it was done many decades ago, when you'd have to believe technology was much cruder. It's like a different work of art for your wall each month. I give it the highest recommendation possible, that you can bestow upon a calender.

I'm a fair to Exceptional photographer. But, I can't do Black and White. I've always found looking at the work of True Masters a transcendent and sublime experience. The textures, the shading, the composition astonish me. To have a very large, single photo to look at several times a day and really study it; to see beyond the just looking, to soak in the subtle nuances, takes me about a month. And then I get to start all over again.

And, when you are done, you have a diary of your year, AND if you don't use heavy bleed-through ink -- an exceptional collection of photographs. After ten years, you have the equivalent of a $300 coffee table book of 130 photographs, for only $120 -- now that's a bargain!

I've been in love with these calenders forever and have been collecting them for 15 years or more. They don't fade, they don't turn brown, they don't get brittle. The ones from 15 years ago, 18 years ago, are still exceptional. And that second January let's you write in your calender until they go on sale after Christmas! The year doesn't end on December 31st, it ends at the end of January -- just plain common sense!

Quality is exceptional -- you will not be disappointed.

Getting this calendar as a gift was a blessing to me. Now, I know an artist that I simply adore - and have some of his art even though it is in calendar form.
This is an artist that I feel I can make connections with. Every picture brings a memory - even if I haven't lived in one of the pictures - the pictures bring happiness to me and that's what matters most.

Its hard to feel connected with things these days. With the fast pace of everything in this high tech world its nice to receive something and feel connected to it.

The pictures are warm and loving and fit well in every room.

not much else needs to be said. This is my first Ansel Adams calendar, and I am very pleased with it.

We have had the annual versions of this calendar for several years. The photographs are truly amazing and I love how the seasons pictured in the photos vary with the actual season. He was an amazing artist. Highly recommended.

I purchased this as a christmas present, I am very pleased with the quality of this calander, plus the prints are amazing.
