Plus, I'd really hate to piss off some poor fisherman who's bought a copy of this calendar based on seeing someone parked in their waders on the front page - LOL! You know - truth in advertising and all..............
Chip's calendar idea has the possibility of being a real good promo piece to advance the effort for warmglasser/coldworkers.
Why don't we start a big buzz, instead of only a simmer. Have no fear glassies - go out there ------------ somewhere, anywhere - just don't be boring - LOL!

Will you have any luck being allowed to hang it up at home??
I SHOULD be able to hang it up at home... in my studio... behind the door
But if people are going to push this whole public auction idea, I may change my photo... let's keep this within our own community... Please
Tony
You better not change your photo! If you do, then I'm changing mine too, Mister! But I must admit, I'm secretly hoping it's only going to be amongst our WGBB buddies too.
Triple xxx or even 1x is not my cup of tea, either - LOL! I have a whole protest installation piece that deals with the negative affects of xxx!!!
Tasteful, but whacky and fun is what I encourage.
.......and folks, there's no doubt news of and copies of our calendar will travel outside of our WG community. We're being short-sighted to not make the most of it?? Hmmmm?

After all it is for a good cause.
Hi Gale... well, I'm not proud.. I AM wishywashy.... so whatever folks want to run with is ok by Ms. PDXFeb2005.
Hey Chip....Should we just send you the pics...without messing around in photoshop? (like borders or something...?) I figured you'd want to design that sort of thing yourself, no?
will we be able to get a preview of this calendar before buying? I'm concerned what the effect some of the "models" (positive or negative) might have on general shop moral, artistic expression..etc.
The girls will be NO problemo, but I shudder to think about the months I have to look at some of the guys in waders and aprons. for an entire MONTH.
There are some frightening thoughts around this project, that's true. What are we calling this thing, Mostly Middle-aged in Glass On the subject of photography, mine asks this question: Can you find out how large he is going to be using the photo? I told him when it comes to size, just make the boomlift big and me small and we'll all be happy! Seriously, how big is this calendar, do you know yet? Does it matter? Do we care?
In this case, each picture will be an 8x5. That demands a pretty good resolution, for that is a pretty good sized picture. Room for the boom and yoom, I mean you. LOL.
That would have been one of several had I been able to do the calender thing, but alas...I was out of town when it started and all filled up on my return. I do have several great shots of some of other board members.
for an entire MONTH.
