UMW Printed Calendar?
So Mountain_Man commented on a picture of mine on Facebook and got me thinking.
What if we organized a contest where UMW members could select only ONE (high-resolution) picture of their car, then everyone would vote on their favorites and the top 12 (so probably a good chance of winning) would make it onto the calendar! The individual with the highest votes would get the first pick of what month he'd like, then it'd go to the next highest, etc. I would have to look in to prices, but I have absolutely NO intention of making any sort of profit off this, I just think it'd be a neat idea to have a calendar that you could look at and say "Oh neat, that's [so-and-so]'s car!" and maybe get a chance to see your own car in there!
Let me know your thoughts on this guys, and be totally honest. Am I on to something, or just a babbling fool?

I'd be available to do a photoshoot when we get a good location. Nothing too exciting in hick-ville Antioch that is easily accessible
We should set some basics.
- 12 or 18 month
- number of artistic vs basic photos
- projected costs (duh)
Finally, Garrison... You are indeed a babbling fool, but not for bringing up the UMW calendar idea!

Personally, in an effort to create variety and allow more folks to participate, I think it might be more interesting to just have people share photos they have already taken / take themselves.
If we use a single location for group photoshoot, some folks may not be able to attend due to not having their car anymore, time conflict with the shoot, etc. and I imagine the pictures would all look rather similar.
Thoughts?
