 * Using 2013 theme, how do I allow a larger image to appear in the header? The 
   header image function has a ‘crop’ function that limits the size of the image
   I want to use. Even if I skip the crop function it still cuts off much of the
   image. I need the header to be higher not wider. 1200/354 pixels is the current
   image size. I dont want to downsize it too much more than it is.
 * I cant make out which line item on the code accomodates that component of the
   page. Right now all the text at the bottom of the image is gone.

 * Hello,
 * Have you tried using CSS? Look for this in style.css:
 *     ```
       .site-header .home-link {
       	color: #141412;
       	display: block;
       	margin: 0 auto;
       	max-width: 1080px;
       	min-height: 430px;
       	padding: 0 20px;
       	text-decoration: none;
       	width: 100%;
       }
       ```
   
 * and change min-height to whatever you want!
 * I suggest creating a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) first.
