Congratulations to all!

I didn't even submit a pic this year :(
Inspiration just never came. Looks like it'll be another great calendar in 2017!

Ok now that it's sunk in that I somehow made it this year, I gotta say with full sincerity in every word, congratulations to everyone, great work on every entry, and to Spyderco, THANK YOU! I can think of maybe one other time when I felt so honored. For an entire month, some large number of people are going to be looking at a picture I created. How cool is that?! Especially to be among the the other amazing work included this year! I really can't express how excited, surprised, and honored I am, so I'll just shut up and submit my file. This place is the best! WOO!

I'm absolutely shocked. Thank you so much Spyderco crew! I spent almost an entire weekend working on this and was reminded why I love photography in the first place. Photography is fun! Spyderco knife photography is more fun!

Great photos everyone! I agree with tazkristi, there were so many great entries. I wouldn't want to have to decide the winners that's for sure. Looking forward to the calendar! Thanks again!
