I have just recently created a 2012 calendar using HP’s MagCloud. Many of the images are newly created in the past year, so those of you that know my Impressions of Light ebook, you will see fresh new images!
I want to share this with you since many of us are exploring self-publishing options, and I’ve wanted to produce calendars for sale and gifts. I found a well-designed template, so I simply added images and captions. It was more work than I had hoped for as I haven’t used Adobe InDesign for awhile, but all said, it was worth the effort. The quality of the reproductions is very good. The size is based on 8.5×11 pages, so the open calendar is 17×11. The only issue is getting the calendar to lay flat, but with a bit of back-folding, it works fine. If you’ve wanted to make your own calendar, this is a good option. Here are some screenshots of the layout below.
Oh and by the way, if you like the look of my calendar, they are for sale on the MagCloud web site for just $9.99:
Start out your New Year with William Neill’s Impressions of Light 2012 Calendar!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Here is a great gift for the holidays, my Yosemite book which was first published in 1994. It is now in its third edition.
Yosemite: The Promise of Wildness / Photographs by William Neill
From the book jacket:
This book unites the imagery of photographer William Neill with the insightful and thought-provoking words of Tim Palmer, bringing new attention and focus to Yosemite’s beauty, significance and future. The book includes 70 stunning photographs, a two-part essay, and informative photographic notes.
William Neill’s photographs, from sweeping vistas to intimate studies of natural phenomena, strongly convey Yosemite’s exceptional qualities. The collection is powerful, inspired from eighteen years of Neills’ residing in the park. Tim Palmer’s essay is filled with a deep appreciation for Yosemite and the benefits it offers the human spirit, coupled with a passionate concern for its continued protection and health.
These moving images and eloquent words provide convincing evidence that the preservation of Yosemite should be the foremost goal in our relationship with this astonishing, but small, piece of Earth. Only when that goal is met will we realize the promise of wildness in Yosemite and in our world.

On my recent trip to Utah and Arizona, I photographed slot canyons in the Page area for the first time since 2002. This image was created with one exposure, and a 16mm focal length. My very first session in Antelope Canyon was in 1982, with no one there. I spent hours making images in silence and peace. It was a magical and spiritual experience then, and so it was again on this trip. There are more images to come, as I find time to process and post them!
Enjoy, Bill
