Is there an age limit on this ? - wouldn't Essex Girl and myself (we're both passed the middle of our fifth decade) cause the calendar to have a "Horror" certificate.

OK - Linda and I will see what we can manage. Might have to wait until after half-term though - can't really sort out a photo session with two teenagers running round the place !

OK... new thought from the chat room

photo of you or a group of you as a song title... then we can guess the song........ now who's game enough to do "cock of the morning"???? *grin*

Question is, who's gonna depict "The Ball At Kierimuir?"

(I mean, Amos, Spaw, Derrymacash, and who else?)

Ah.. right... I better go find my wedding dress then.... it still fits you know... just not in the same places.

Somehow I don't think Bratling will let me stick her with the penknife...

I'll be retiring from the "nearly nude" calendar type pics this year.

Rob and I could send in something in, maybe a wedding shot or something, if it would fit into any of the themes being considered.

Here's another fundraiser idea -- auction slots off? Maybe not ALL of them. But the auction winner would have to stick with the theme?

Hi, Alison:

Maybe submitting photos that suggest the title of a song is too limiting. I sent you two or three photos, none of which would fit the theme, and I don't have any other photos that would work to send. Unless the title of the song was "you Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby." Of course we could sumbit photos of us when we were kids and have people try to figure out our identities..

Well, I guess it'd be pretty easy to do "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes," Jerry. ;-D

But I think you're right that it's generally hard to come up with song titles (especially if you limit it to folk song titles) that you could depict without a helluva lot of time and expense. Folks like MMario, who go in for the old Renaissance Faire shtick, of course, would have an edge with the Child ballads, but generally I think a lot of song titles would be hard to do without a lot of expense (She'll Be Comin' 'Round The Mountain), time, or pain (The Lobster).

Hi alison,

I'd like to submit that nice photo of you, me and Jacquie at St Albans in 2001, but I can't remember whether it was your photo or mine and if it is on my computer somewhere, I can't remember where I put it and what it was called. It's posted on the Mudcat/photos/events page. So, I'll go for a little surf through my computer and see if I can find it and send it to you ASAP.

Helen

P.S. Harps are too revealing for nude photos - unless 'one' is wearing a string bikini, I suppose - so just to be different this photo has people fully clothed.

Well, if we can use really outdated photos (like over 20 years old), I have a couple of me in various costumes (without guitar). Now if I can just find a song to go with the costume. Hmmmmm.

I haven't seen the current calendar, and now haven't got around to ordering it because the year is so far advanced. Is there any discounted way to get a look at last year's calendar, to guage how to prepare current submissions?

yeah... send me an email and I'll send you a few pics.....

or if there is sufficient interest from 'newer catters" I can redo the nearly nude ones with next years dates

but this year is different... as most people are not going for "nearly nude"

getting quite a few baby photos at the moment

Any great looking photo of 'Catters, whether the picture is from your past or present, not nude, would be of interest to me. I'm not into the nude or nearly nude calendar shots, so if I was to buy a calendar I'd like to just see some good photography. I sent one of myself to alison for this calendar. It's kind of a "guess who", as the photo is from the 1970's. If you have some good photography from your past, send it in.

I'd find baby pictures difficult - Henry Fox Talbot was still working things out when I was born !
