before I shoot some new photos, or choose an exsiting one to send in....does there need to be a specific orientation of the photos? I know that when I'm doing things, usually having a horizontal orientation is a lot easier and clearer than vertical

-sigh-
Now don't go getting yourself all worked up, girlfriend! It was just a suggestion. I have no idea how much work goes into doing this and since you are doing all the work you do what you think is best. It is your calendar, your project! I know it is going to turn out great! What site are you doing this at?
No specifics. whatever pictures you'd like to enter, as long as it meets the rules in the first post. :)Quote:

I'd think if anyone has anything against the calendar in any way, shape, or form, Kay, it would be the price. What else could someone have a problem with? I'm sure you're just reading whatever it is that they're saying incorrectly. I can't imagine any reason for not thinking this is a cool idea. I can't wait to vote and see how it ends up turning out!
No worries, It just seems like there are a few who are against what i'm doing.Quote:

I'm going to be using cafepress.com

And there's nothing I can really do about that. Well, I could, but then all of the money would be going to the site and none to the shelter.
It's just the feeling I get from some who have posted/PM'ed me, and it sort of make me not want to do it. I guess I should have just done it secretly and chose my own photos, whenever I have an idea there's always a select few who look badly upon it, and it hurts to be honest.
I'm aware of that, as are most people, I would think. I was just saying that that is the only reason I could think of someone not being "for" the idea.Quote:

Why would someone be against it? I take it they are pming you. Oh well, I guess you can't please everyone. I do think the price is a little high though. Does it have to be that price?
Oops...I just seen your reply to Finn's mom.
The base price for the calendars, and I guess i'll end up doing that, is $14.99. The site gets all of that money. Nothing goes anywhere else. I believe the site also charges a shipping fee.
I thought people would like to donate some money to a shelter.
I'm just not feeling too great about this idea anymore. I guess it was a bad idea. I'm starting to feel the same about my other idea I had previously. No one seems interested in it besides getting their dog's image on something. (and that idea wasn't just for this site, it was others as well.) And the idea before that, sooo many people were interested in getting a wooden sign, and now I only have 1 order. I guess I shouldn't get my hopes up and rely on what people say anymore.
It's a great idea, your first thread was seeing how many people would be interested, and, you got a ton of interest, or else you wouldn't have posted this new thread about submitting photos. If it's too much work, then, you shouldn't burden yourself. But, you should at least expect people to question the price. It's expensive for a calendar. But, the interest you got in the first thread was for a $25 calendar, people will buy it. Maybe if you could find an exact dollar amount that for each calendar bought, so much will go to a humane society. Just a suggestion. A lot of people have their hopes now that you've posted this second thread saying that it was on, they'll still buy the calendar, Kay. Even at $25. I wouldn't let whatever is bothering you stop you from doing this, it's a good project. But, whatever you feel is right for you.
I just read your edited comment, I guess if people have let you down in that aspect before, I'd probably be wary of it, too.
when I get home (I'm visiting my dad now) I will look through my pictures and try to find one. I have a few in mind, springish and summery.
I'm sorry you are getting discouraged but you really shouldn't. Your idea is great, and the truth is when you are dealing with a large group of people you are never going to make everyone happy no matter how hard to try. The best you can do is make the majority happy. It seems like you have a lot of interest in this project.
Here is the worst case senerio.Lets say you do charge $25 a calander and $10 is going to a shelter. I'm almost certain that the owners of the 12 dogs who get voted into the calander are going to buy it. Right there is $120 going to the shelter, that is a pretty good amount of money. But odds are other people are going to buy it. Why? because almost everyone has a calander hanging in their house. This is an item that is practical. People are going to want one of animals they know! Not only that but I bet the owners whose dogs do make the calander are going to buy more than one. I know if Payson made the calender I would have one for sure and I know Alexa would as well. Where as if he didn't make the calander I'd just get one for myself so I could look at everyone elses dogs.
I think you are doing a great job and don't let a few sour apples ruin a great thing.
Well said, Laura. :)Quote:

Hey Kay, I know this is a stupid question:rolleyes: :p, but could I send you a pic even if I don't buy the calendar? Just to use I mean...if that's ok.;) Just wondering!:)
I wish I could submit the pictures of Kia in the pool, but I think they are at a 640x480 Res. I'll reset my camera and try to get a nice headshot of her. :)
