Where is my 2015 calendar?, am I missing something...!? Options

[PegGTS]

Looks good! I'm loving that shot of Tigawoods' interior

[malpaso]

Exactly. That interior is one of favorites. I hope Mike will not have anything against it

Tomorrow will continue with design. As looking at sheets I will probably make nicks smaller and name of months bigger plus few more minor changes... also need to figure out what picture to exclude . As I write to Tim it is hard to choose. What I know for sure I will not exclude anyone who is supporting this project by buying the calendar. As I wrote we need 10 orders minimum to get expected price (for less than 10 pieces is price +3 dollars for each printed). And we have no time to wait. So shown interest is the key for smooth and fast run of this project. Without it I can only waste time. Anyway. So far thinking about to exclude picture of rentaspace's car:

+ superb picture
+ august COTM
+ one of active/interested in this topic from the beginning

- in fact rentaspace have not responded me to my message related to his participation (he is away probably). I know. Author of the picture is Timmyface and he gave me permission but... still feel bit weird to use his car somewhere without "warning".
- there already are two side shots (and JoshuaM's is bit better...)
- no purchase

I hate this part...

love the design !

I can try contacting Ryan (rentaspace) on Facebook and see if he responds there.

[PegGTS]

I just talked to him and he said he gives permission to use his car if you still want to include his

[malpaso]

yeap... Ryan just gave me message so step back with process... Only list I can make now is: "non buyers list" (as one key minus). So focus on pluses.

Tigawoods
+++ Featured Ride (Lets show some respect to the legend of this forum )
+ Mike always supported me in terms of calendar (this one, last one...)
rentaspace
++ COTM (significant plus to me = there is prove people likes that picture)
DarkDeath
++ COTM (significant plus to me = there is prove people likes that picture)
Rusty
+ Russell has always supported me in terms of calendar. I need not to say a single word...
Timmyface
+ Timothy has always supported me in terms of calendar. He has shared any picture I needed. He is in fact bigger enthusiast than I am. I bought another car this year and stopped visiting 6gc.net. He sold his (what is minus ) but is still around...
HectortheRican
+ Hector is one of those who showed real interest and support and I really appreciate this...
JaQb_CK
+ Jacob has shared with me with several albums of stunning pictures... You have no idea... I had no problem to take more than one (different style, different composition) just pick the best that suits me to fit design of calendar. He really knows what to do with camera (not just lucky shooter like me ). Even now after a week I have 3 selected pictures and do not know which one is the best.
JoshuaM
+ Joshua was one of first who replied to me and... he would hate me for ages - even more than now in this moment - for excluding him from calendar AGAIN (I did this already last year)

2:34AM for me... in few hours I will finish all pictures and close this. Any tips?

Love the design, count me in for ordering one

Wish I would have made it into the calendar, but I should have put in more effort to taking better pictures of my car with a better camera lol

I still hold my position- I don't feel as though my car is calendar worthy. Although Chee La has submitted a good picture, and a hi res photo at that, you are more than welcome to omit my car. I've always supported the idea of the calendar but never bought one, so it's only fair that you keep everyone else's pictures but pass on mine.

Yes you can... but this calendar is not about the car (modified/stock... who cares) but about the photography. And show me anyone who can say this is bad one:



More over. Since you are one who manage COTM competitions it is hard to participate (am I right?). Or you can take is as "thank you" for doing this .

note: Design finalized now... here are all remaining 12 sheets:

Looking good. Can't wait for them to be published!

Mad tyte jdm, yo

Just stopped for a while and noticed what UNBELIEVABLE thing we all made here.

December, 23rd - one day before holidays idea came and nothing was sure...
December, 30th - a week later (WEEK) there were in fact 14 pictures ready for calendar. That is amazing cooperation during holidays (time when everyone is with their families etc.)
January, 6th - in another week there were TWENTY people interested to buy the calendar. And since there was mandatory to have some minimum amount... without buyers this all would be just waste of time...

Can you imagine that? pure two weeks + cooperation of (about) two dozens of people... Honestly I got hope but haven't expected that amazing progress. Because without enthusiast people in here I would have no chance to manage this successfully.

So once again thank you all for your contribution...
