I would like to do a calendar for next year...and there is plenty of time to get great shots. I think club/group/cruise shots are a great idea. That H.A.L.F. lineup in Shiner, or the one on the waterfront, or the one in front of the winery...you get the idea. I guess H.A.L.F. will have to get a good spread!

It will be planned as a January-December calendar, so for a few overlap months you can enjoy both calendars!

Be mindful of objects in the background, such as towers, light poles, sign posts, power poles...they have a bad habit of jumping up behind cars while you snap the shot. Likewise, parking lot stripes, badly cracked or patched pavement, pedestrians and other distractions can take away from an otherwise professional image. License plates will be edited out.

Please don't take photos in front of your house or garage...I have seen cars on eBay with the street address in plain sight, the city in the seller profile...with web search software anyone could know where you live.

Minimum photo resolution is 1280 x 1024 for a full page. JPEG images only, please, quality 60 or higher. Anything smaller will be used on a multiple image page. Groups may wish to consider this, especially if all the members don't show up in one shot.

Email images to yellowbird@thefirstgensite.com, with the subject "2007 Calendar". Family-friendly images only, please! All photos should be in by September.

It's a lot of work, eh, Scott?
