Stan assumes correctly - I really am living on a shoestring...part of one even, but do get some income from  my smugmug site, and income from my calendar sales, and a couple of books on lulu and cafepress sales that help a lot.. I sell downloads of small jpgs for personal use from smugmug at a low price  and high res files for editorial use - (some exceptions but only with my permission )  and there are others on the list that are even more actively gathering funds for their work in exhibits and in print media..   so no, I would not like the download option for the online PDML annual.   Of course the smugmug site is like a stock photo agency, in a way, it is public and everyone can view the photos in a a variety of sizes as much as they like and I hope they do :-)

Alan, a couple of thoughts…

.... snipped a bit to get to the point...

It is a simple virtual toggle switch for me to say whether the original file 
can be downloaded. My assumption was that PDML contributors to such a gallery 
would prefer not to have the download option, but it really makes no difference 
to me. Some, like Ann, derive some income from their images and I assume would 
not want the digital file accessible.

I am open for additional comments…

Actually it's virtually the same as Stan's suggestion with an option to download & 
print if desired. I know many are happy looking at images on screen but others prefer 
printed stuff like books, magazines & newspapers. Perhaps there's a simple way to 
put a gallery (even Stan's) into PDF format?

Sounds complicated. Stan’s proposal is much more workable. And why print books? 
We’ve been there and Mark has done that. Time to move on.

Another suggestion:

Perhaps we could convince Brian to host a "Super PUG". We could all contribute 
(say) 3 images from 2018 albeit at slightly higher resolutions. They could then be presented 
in the usual PUG format & accessed by PDMLers in their own countries where they could 
arrange to have photobooks printed or even do it themselves. The Quotations for 2018 have 
already been posted. A nominal charge to cover expenses could be collected up front with the 
images.

What do you think?
