Re: Future Of The Shooting For A Cause Project?
Ok just to give everyone a heads up. An e-mail has been sent to the address provided by POG (thanks for the research) asking them for a little clarification on some of the legal issues and if and how we could obtain the rights to use their logo on the calendar. I would hate to start building calendars without all the available images. Anyone have all of them compiled in one place who could send me a zipped file with them.
Is everyone thinking one image per month full spread or are there any thoughts on doing 2-4 image collage spreads. And if we're going to break things down and do multiple calendars it would be great if who ever has the images now could just put them into some kind of logical groupings that way we can easily see what we've got plenty of and then decide themes based on what we physically have.

I am a contradiction in terms. Good luck. |

| I have all of the currently submitted images on my computer. If we do a set of calendars, we should re-contact the people who submitted those photos to make sure they approve of the new use (uses if we go with mugs or other items).
I'll try to group them into categories in the next day or two. Then we'll see about re-opening submissions for the various categories.
I agree that about one image per month, full spread. This will reduce the complexity of having to match up multiple images and make the calendars much easier to compile. |

| One per month is probably best... a bigger picture to look at! 
Also, if any of the 3 I submitted last time were usable, they can be put on any dslr/bbr "Shooting For A Cause" product.

Ok, here are the categories that I have so far:
Cities (2 photos)
Flowers (11 photos)
Earth and Sky (15 photos)
Water and Fire (8 photos)
Wildlife (19 photos)
I still have 15 photos to make categories for. We could easily fill 6 calendars. |

I've received and e-mail from a representative of the Make a Wish Foundation. I will call her tomorrow and leave her my contact information.
Have we decided whether or not to reopen submissions? If we do I'd be happy to throw in »/showpic/dimag···6178&1=1, »ErthBndAngel picture 'First time working with extended ex..' or »/showpic/dimag···folder=0
I'll keep you posted on what I hear from our contact at MAW

I think that, to be fair, new submissions should be encouraged- and priors will need to be confirmed. |

Thanks. And yes, I think getting new submissions would be a wonderful idea. |

Erial, NJ | One thing I just thought of, since you are going the calender route, won't all submissions need to be landscape as opposed to portrait? Will that affect any current submissions? |

USA | I'm guessing that landscape would be preferred, though we could probably either crop or add a border to non-landscape prints. |

Looks like things are moving in the right direction despite the fact that the logistics of such a project can be daunting to say the least. Shall we try and enlist the help of someone from the Make-a-Wish Foundation to guide us along? I am sure they have a lot of people experienced in fundraising and would certainly help out if our project can generate some money for their cause.
P.S. My original submission still stands and I would be happy to submit a few more. |

| I am already in contact with a woman from MAW thanks to POG's research in finding us an e-mail. I received an e-mail from her Friday, called her back Saturday and left her a message with my phone number and am awaiting her response.

I hope that non-DSLR photos will be considered too.

One thing that really doesn't seem to happen here is that people don't look down on others because of their "lower-end" equipment, even though sometimes people get wowed & amazed over higher end stuff and sometimes think it's because of the camera, not the photog. |
