2012 Calendar (Part II) - 11/10/2011 11:33:24 PM

Status: offline 		I decided to start another thread on this subject because the other one sort of got hijacked by Jason Alexander. I'm really serious about doing a bottle calendar for 2012 with photos from all of you. So much so, that I'm willing to front the money. It looks as though they can be made for $7.99 each. I was thinking, if we charge $9.99 each, plus the shipping, we could donate $2.00 per calendar sold, to the site. On a run of 25, that would be $50.00. I know that some of you aren't able to afford the $9.99, but that's where Secret Santa will come in handy this year. What I'm thinking is, let's run another contest, for lack of a better word, and submit photos for consideration. At the end of whatever deadline we decide, we'll then vote for our favorite 12. Here's a couple of rules that I would suggest, and might even demand seeings how I'm the money man.

2 photos max per member. No one has the time to view your whole photo album, so make it your 2 best.

No face shots or animals in the pics. And that means no dead squirrels either. This is a bottle calendar.

Another suggestion is to have a theme for certain months. December/Christmas. January/Happy New Year, and July/Independence Day, to name a few. You get the idea. RoadDog, I believe it was, had the perfect one for July in Charlie's contest last month. Another thing. I'm not a lawyer, or even play one on TV, but does anyone know if we need to have a signed document of some sort from the photographer/member to print their pics in a calendar?

Anyway, give me some feedback. We don't have a lot of time if we want them ready for 01/01/12. ~Mike

Status: online 		One suggestion about the photos submitted: they should be shaped properly to fit on the calendar page, not cropped to a disproportionate ratio, and not oriented vertically. I imagine it will be an 8 1/2 x 11 page..

I don't think there should be any limit on the amount of bottles in your pic, Branden. But just keep in mind that depending on their arrangement, too many might make it seem cluttered. ~Mike

What I'm thinking would be best, if we go through with this, is to have the 12 finalist e-mail me the full size pic rather than using the shrunken version posted to the site. So far, though, there doesn't seem to be much interest in doing a calendar. Maybe this thread needs to be moved someplace else. ~Mike

I was hoping to get a little more feedback, Charlie, as far as rules and deadlines before the pics start getting posted. And we definitely need to find out about the "permission" thing as far as publishing someone's photos. Maybe publishing isn't the correct term. Are there any lawyers out there? ~Mike

Road Dog, your pics are the best. You will surely have a month with one of your pics. ~Mike

I'm all for it if Rory will give some step by step pointers, so my pics will come out crisp, clear, and large ~
I don't know why I can't upload a big pic here....Forget the instructions on this site. I want Rory's tips!!!!! Plus, he's an artist, every photo is a true work of art ~ star ~ *
