We featured the new Calendar at lastnight's Life Rolls On fund raising event. We are thrilled to announce the availability of our new 2009 Cape May Captured wall calendar. The new version, the second limited edition follows the sell out success we had with last year's calendar, and again presents the unique photographic voice of Michael Jordan Longfellow. Calendar features include high quality production details such as the large format (19 inches by 13.5 inches) calendar, beautiful full color photo reproduction printing on a textured linen paper, and new customizing options so local businesses can add their brand to a small print run, creating the perfect marketing tool that connects your Cape May brand to, well, the beautiful Cape May brand. The custom branded calendars make a fantastic gift for your clients or customers.
We'll post more information about these calendars over the next weeks, and will present them for the first time at tonight's Life Rolls On fund raiser at the Harbor View restaurant where the calendar will be featured at the silent auction table. So bid them up, the money goes to a great cause. Hopefully we'll see you there!
Why Not Order Yours Today!

New capemayX.com Changing Banner
By Michael Longfellow on Sun, September 14
Michael Longfellow on Sun, September 14 Capturing Cape May in Photographs
We're experimenting with a new capemayX.com banner effect that dissolves from photograph to photograph. This approach provides a simple and elegant way to cycle through a number of Cape May photographs site wide. For the Cape May visitor (and of course for locals who stop by), they get to see more images of this beautiful town, its beaches and architecture through all the seasons. We're going to mix it up for a while (the photos) just to get a good feel for what works best in terms of size, length of time for each shot, and number of photograhs to include for each series.Presenting the Stories, Images and Beauty that are Cape May
Most likely we'll utilize this effect to more creativity present our Cape May photography that's been captured in a series of shots. Say, for example, we wanted to show a series of sunset shots from a beautiful summer's night. Or photos captured from a recent storm. We'll still be updating the images frequently, so be sure to check back and thanks for any feedback.Great way to promote
We also plan to use the rotating banners in promotions we offer. So stay tuned and thanks so much for stopping by.Friday

capemayX.com Website Changes
By Michael Longfellow on Tue, July 29
Michael Longfellow on Tue, July 29
I've received many emails asking about the periodic changes in the way capemayX looks. Well, we've definitely been in the labs testing new layouts and looks, and even today we've posted a newer graphic look just to see how it works and feels in the real world.
We've been testing a number of new looks and layouts, and are getting very close to the final release. I'm always amazed how difficult it can be to keep things simple, useful, and beautiful. The big irony is that simple and easy are infinitely more difficult than complicated and hard. (ha! it's true) But rest assured, we are working diligently so the final result creates the simplest to use, most visually appealing website for Cape May visitors and locals alike.
So thanks for the continued interest (and support). And keep sending emails if you have any questions or ideas. We'll be posting the new site design in short order. )
