RowanDu Premium join:2005-09-27 Munster, ON	reply to rcroning I thought we were all past the argueing. Lets not start this again. everythings already been decided. all thats up to you now is to decide wether or not you wanna be a helping hand in it or not. As for the book. like ive always said Id be more than willing to help in whatever way i could, my skills in photography and photoshop are both subpar, if you need anything else though IM here for you man. Just dont give up yet. It can be done (although it may take a lot of time) as long as you keep going.

Jason Levine Premium join:2001-07-13 USA	I agree. Let's keep the previously chosen charity and just move forward from there. The first thing to do would be to find someone who could push the project forward. This would involve collecting more photos (if needed), getting them arranged as a photobook, dealing with the sales of the photobook, and properly donating the proceeds.

Wayne GphFX Blessed Premium join:2004-09-26 Brooklyn, NY ·Optimum Online	reply to rcroning My last suguestion which was brushed off.

Jason Levine Premium join:2001-07-13 USA 1 edit	reply to Wayne GphFX I think that might be a very good idea. A photobook might be shooting a bit too high. Start with a calendar (maybe some mugs, shirts, or other items with the chosen photos), sell them via CafePress/Zazzle/whereever, and donate the funds. Then, if this project is a success, revisit the photobook project. Pros: Less setup time/experience required. I think I could design a 18 month calendar given 18 photos. Cons: Less money for the charity. (Then again, it's more than if the photobook project crashes and burns completely.) Less photographers featured (though we could make this a repeating project). In fact, I think we should make this a poll to better gather opinions. I'll prep a poll now. EDIT: Poll posted: »Future Of The Shooting For A Cause Project?

ErthBndAngel Premium join:2006-04-25 Manchester, CT 1 edit	reply to SandShark I'm still willing to help with the project and I think that the idea of starting with something smaller is also a good idea. I believe Jason has all the submissions at this point, but I also think it would be a good idea to start from fresh. With this new idea of a calendar it may change the type of images people choose to submit and will allow people to submit new images. I've designed a few calendars mainly for friends , family and a couple of local business using a combination of publisher for the dates portion and PS for the images portion. Just me offering up both my 2 cents and what time and skill I have. Ok I've checked out a couple of the websites Jason mentioned and I'm just trying to figure out what the heck we're waiting for. A calendar and other products from any of these sites should be a piece of cake (and I'm talking tasty cake made by someone else...who brought milk). The book idea is HUGE and perhaps what we need is a year or three doing something like this successfully and then we can get some sponsorship with something larger like a book. The only thing this requires is getting the word out that the calendar is available. The sooner we get it done and get people talking about it the better, people are buying calendars now. I know I'm selling them to them. Anyone know if we need permission from the Make A Wish foundation to use their name on and in relation to the project? If not I'm willing to start making calls and typing e-mails. Who knows what kind of help they and or their staff might be willing to offer if they knew about it. -- I am a contradiction in terms. Good luck.

rcroning D70 Rocks Premium join:2005-05-21 Winnipeg, MB	reply to rcroning WOW!!! I did not think my simple question would start the fire burning again. Maybe I should have broached the subject a long time ago. Adding in my 2 cents I think we should: -Open up for a few more submissions -Stick to the charity originally chosen I don't think taxes are a concern here as the proceeds will be going to a tax exempt organization. I don't have much skills in layout or PS but I could help with proofreading. Other than that I have made a submission and would be happy to add a couple more if allowed. Cheers, Ralph.

Jason Levine Premium join:2001-07-13 USA	Well, the taxes could be a problem. Let's say we use CafePress to make the calendars. CafePress would take their cut of the sales and send the remainder as a check to someone we designate (say me for now). I would deposit the check and send a payment for the same amount to Make-A-Wish Foundation. The IRS, however, would see the CafePress payment as income and would require me to pay taxes on it. So the trick becomes how to tell the IRS that the "income" wasn't really income at all, but a charitable donation that I (or whomever we choose) was just routing from CafePress to the charity. I'm thinking that Make-A-Wish might have some ideas about this. I could also talk with my uncle. He's a tax accountant (and does my taxes) so he might know how to approach this.

He's a tax accountant (and does my taxes) so he might know how to approach this. That's the only way to be sure. I mentioned this some time before but was told that it was sort of "different in the US". I'm glad you're taking the intelligent approach to this issue.

ErthBndAngel Premium join:2006-04-25 Manchester, CT	reply to Jason Levine When I sent the e-mail to MAW I mentioned the transfer of $$ to them as one of our major questions. When I actually speak with the woman at MAW perhaps we can simply have MAW create the paypal account that the funds are deposited in? -- I am a contradiction in terms. Good luck.
