Hi guys. As the other thread is getting a bit busy I would like to start a new thread to hopefully avoid confusion.


I will be the contact from now on on for all issues to do with this calendar. I would like to say a big thanks toAndy and Mark for all their efforts so far. Ihope they can still find time to help out where necessary as I know they are a bit manic with work at the moment.


What we have so far:


January- Montage of all supplied photos


February - Bugei - Submitted photo


March - Brit Warrior - Submitted photo


April - 99prf/Courteny - Submitted photo


May - Meanstreak - Submitted photo


June - Washington Warrior - Submitted photo


July - Badger - Submitted photo


August - Bugei - 2 - Submitted photo


September - Stevo - Submitted photo


October - darken_rahl03 - Submitted photo


November - Attila - Submitted photo


December-Warriordog - Submitted photo (Taken by curiositywasframed)





BJMartin and Gibbsy. Are you guys still up for a contribution?


As a backup are there any other takers from anywhere?


Meanstreak, when the guys come round to you for a photo shoot is it possible you can do a shot with a couple of Warriors with ladies for the calendar cover?


Bone, Can you get me a photo of Anthony and write me a couple of paragraphs on him and his condition?


I am having a meeting with a printer tomorrow evening to discuss prices and quantities as well as formats etc. I should also have a couple more printers giving me similar info before the end of the week. I will post as soon as this info becomes available.


Deadlines:


OK things are getting bleedin' tight so can all of you who have offered to submit a photo please confirm this to me by COP Friday 10th October.


I will have info on the required formats by COP Friday 10thOctober at the latest.


Once a format has been established all photos need to be submitted to me by 10th November. This may change slightly due to printers requirements but the sooner the better. Please don't leave it until the last minute

And I know I'm as guilty as anyone on this

Once we have the photos hopefully Meanstreak can cast his expert eye over them and, if necessary, give them a tweekette in Photoshop.


I would like to get them printed by the end of November so distribution can start. I remember something in the original thread said that someone in the Stateswould behappy to have a boxful delivered to them for distribution over there. Can someone please confirm this.


I will start another thread that will be specifically for showing how many people are interested in the calendar to give me an idea of numbers for costing purposes.


Please can you reply to the above questions as soon as possible so we can move this forward.


Thanks guys.


P.S. I will be out of the country between Saturday 11th and Sunday 19th October.

Well there is only 4 days to go to the go/no go deadline. I have been promised photos from Warriordog for the weekend and I am still waiting for photos from Stevei. So I need just one more if these come through. So come on. Who can supply the last fookin photo?

An Idea for January or December, How about just doing a collage of all the pictures used or if more then one came of a bike using those for the collage.Put them just randomly on the page. Sort of a recap of all the bikes of a prelude to whats to come.





just and Idea for a month

That's not a bad idea Greg and may get us out of a spot. Thanks for the idea

I do believe the partie's involverd should ALL receive that privilige...LOL What say the other takers and deliverers of picture's???


Like the idea of a collage to fill up the remaining month!

Well today was the deadline for the photos and we are still short. What has happened to all the photos That were promised. Everyone seems to have gone very quiet lately. All mouth and no action. I would like to thank all the UK and European guys who did supply pics as promised.Luckily some of our American brothers have helped out with the shortfall. Thank you guys
Image
Also Bugei has found another guy with a Warrior and is going to try and get some pics this week. I'm glad some people aremaking the effort

Greg, thanks to Bugei coming up with another Warrior and model at the last minute we have just about made it. Bugei is going to send me some photos on Wednesday or Thursday and that will give us eleven photos leaving one month for a collage. If Stevei comes up with a photo in the next few days then we have twelve photos and do not need to go the collage route.


As Attila says, a big thanks to our American brothers for their contributions and support. Without your help it would never have happened

My pleasure. Any thoughts on the tear sheet idea I threw out there to you? I don't know how many of the other photographers/models are professionals but I know that I'm always looking for more material to keep my portfolio fresh. My model would really appreciate one for her portfolio as well.

I'm sure I can do something. I better get some calendars first though

In fairness, pictures wise, because there is a wide discrepancy between the highest and lowest general quality, we really only have 8 useable pictures, so while it might feel like we have 11 on this post, that’s not really the case. This of course is in no way disrespectful of any of the pics, this is me being concerned for the fact that you guysare paying cash money for this calendar, so it wants to be of a relevant quality to be saleable (and I’m not shooting for the Moon here!). I have the following pics in the shortlist so far.Brit Warrior, Badger, Attila, Bugei, Greg, Meanstreak, Stevo, 99prf.So, if you have any other picsout there so we don't have to scrap this calendar(or make a collage, which whilst a good idea isn't ideal), then fire them in! If you sent a pic, but it didn't make it to the shortlist, but have another, SEND THAT TO BADGER TOO!The only thing that really kills the quality, is blur, anything else can be tweaked, as long as you didn't take the pic in the dark!!!

STEVO, what do you reckon to using your pic 'image 9069' as your calendar pic? I think it would sit nice with the rest that are in the calender, your choice mate, let me know. (if you do agree, mail me the full size version of that pic please)

Just checked the thread. I didn't get any word on a resend for any pictures. Which ones did you need? You know that the pictures of Warriordog's bike are the ones I took, right? Unless he sent you others that I don't know about...


Let me call him.


Spoke to Warriordog. I'm the one who sent those. It's his bike, but my photo company. Did you need me to send them again?


Pleasure,


Mike
