Basil, WOULD you consider putting together a calendar as mentioned above, of Brits In the Field, of abandoned projects, cars sitting out in the fields, and even crazy altered Brit car projects -- cars that most of us might be inspired by (or identify with??)(or cringe at!!).
If you want, I can put out the call and collect these pics for you to do you calendar magic, right?
I think I could probably get plenty of submissions from this and other forums, even before the second week in December, if that would give you enough time for production?
LMK.
Thanks for the suggestion! Actually, I think a calendar featuring abandoned British cars, interesting projects, and some of the more unusual creations out there could be a lot of fun. I can certainly see the appeal!
The problem (for me) is that putting together even one calendar or two calendars is turning out to be a pretty substantial undertaking. Between collecting and sorting through all the submissions (there are several hundred), selecting the best photographs, doing some photo editing where needed, and then actually designing and preparing the calendar for printing, there's a LOT more work involved than most people probably realize.
With several other things going on in my personal life right now, I'm honestly going to have my hands full just getting the current project finished. I really don't want to take on a second project.
I'm also trying to keep this particular project focused on photographs submitted by our own BCF members, rather than soliciting pictures from other forums or outside sources.
But I do appreciate the idea, and especially your willingness to help gather pictures. It's certainly an interesting theme, and who knows, maybe something worth considering for a future calendar.
For now, though, I need to concentrate on making this 2027 BCF calendar the best it can be.
Thanks again for the suggestion!
Basil
