So ripped a bunch of shots of everyone’s gallery and without any permission threw them on calendar pages at a site called Big Huge Labs. I downloaded the shots (that’s free) but did not commit to buying a calendar from them for $20. Not sure if the design would stay there if I did.
So before going any further thought I’d ask if
a. anyone has any problem with my expropriation of their photos, and,
b. if anyone would be interested in my doing this fer real. which, if so, I’d figure out how to make the calendar photos stick somewhere so’s you-all could order the finished calendars.
Also, these things work best with bigger photos than we can post here on tdreplica.com. I went by file size mostly in choosing these. Here are samples of what I did, sized to fit our limits:

But I should I be insulted my Duchess didn’t measure up?
I may never recover from this!

Ed,
No problem from me, Hell I fell honored you used my photos in the first calendar. I would buy one.

Sorry, Paul. Best pic of the Duchess I found was like 173kbs. I tried to keep these shots above 300.
The speedster folks insist on only high-res–like 2-3mb and above. Maybe next year?
Meantime, if I don’t hear any objections by tomorrow I’m gonna go ahead and try to set up a buyable calendar on line. The price will be the website’s alone–no profit for me.
I we have some photos of carlisle 2010, I haqve other photos of Ally if you would like. But I’lp ceretainly invest. there is also a cool picture of tires and rims.
OK, everyone, Paul has sent me some sweet, big format shots of his car. I’m going to re-do a couple months because, when I put the first round shots into the calendar on line, I got a message on some of them that the photos were too low-resolution to print at that size. The message came on the May shot (Paul took that one, I’m in it), the September one (I love that dog, would really dig a higher res one of it) and the October photo, which I would also really like to use, if a larger one can be found.
The plan now is to redo a few months and post here, then open it up for sale, later this week.
If anyone has any high-res shots they’d like me to consider–and I especially like “action” shots, pics with people and photos with multiple TDs–send them along. you can email me at stuntmidget-AT-hotmail-dot-com if you’d like.
Ed,
I emailed you the group shot from Carlisle. And an alternate take on the group photo

Update on calendar. The May, September and November shots are as follows. The rest is the same, plus there’s a cover shot. I ordered one & and working out a way to make it easy for anyone to grab one via the web & pay pal or a credit card. The site I’m using wants $25 to print and ship these. I’d like it cheaper and will look about for a cheaper solution for next year if folks want to do this again.

OK, folks, looks like y’all can preview this if you want via this link.

If anyone has any trouble ordering it, post back.
Got mine ordered today, I think. Site was a little confusing to me, but don’t think it’s the sites fault. The calendar looks great. Just not a computer wizard.

I ordered this morning.
Thanks Ed. This is terrific!

Thanks, gentlemen–remember tough, they’re your pictures. I didn’t take a one of ’em. Next year, though, I’ll be shooting for it.
Received my calendar today. Damn good quality, photos on heavy duty card stock and very clear. No complaints from me.

Ed et al
Merry Christmas to me! My calendar arrived today.
It’s awesome Ed! Nice job!

welcome. Got mine too, pretty nice. Thanks to all whose photos I used, with and without permission.
Got mine today too. Just in time for Christmas. Nice quality calendar. The pictures are keepers even after 2011.
Mine came while I was enjoying Christmas in FL. Have it hanging right here next to my desk at work. And it looks GREAT!!
