Generic Photos for Simsbury Bank Calendar
Simsbury Bank calendar judges like "generic photos" because it gives them greater flexibility in filling certain months. The bird shot is generic (it could have been taken in any Valley town). Also, look in your our backyard, as I did, to get potential $100 calendar shots.
