Hell the last time the page layouts looked terrible. Putting one good picture with a clean month title would of looked better. That deviant art shit looks fucking retarded.

Personally, I like MyCanvas for that kind of thing:

http://smugmug.mycanvas.com/Products...Calendars.aspx?

I used them to create a photobook for one of my final projects.. very customizable. They offer pre-made layouts, or you can create something simple and clean yourself. I haven't played much with the calendar option, though.

I don't mind at all. Hell, if anything that's bragging rights to the kids twenty years from now. "See, when I was carrying you in my belly, I still rode like the devil."

Oooooh, you're an artsy type, care to help out on this?

Trip, I kinda liked the couple of photos thing, tho it did tend toward "busy".

I guess I am more of a classic calendar type of person. I think it would be cool to do it almost in like a classic pin up style. Now if we can talk ya'll into that would be awesome.

Hey, um...shouldn't you be in it? That would make 12.

Well, I did find out yesterday that apparently, as long as I ask permission, I may be able to wheel my bike into my school's studio. BUT... there is a very good reason I prefer to be the one behind the lens. :P

That being said, I don't mind assembling the calendar.. good thing about MyCanvas is whatever work I have done, I can share the preview with others.

Also, they allow you to add custom events... so things like rallies, race schedules, etc., I can add to the calendar for shits and grins.

It's not that hard. To the girls in Austin, I can ask Holly to do our hair and make-up. I'll have her do mine either way. She did mine for the last CF Calendar and it turned out pretty good. If you're on my FB there is an album of those pics that are somewhat pin-up.

Now that would be a really fun concept to play with! We could incorporate the bikes into it too. The one that comes to mind right now is Kat's, remember that one?

I agree.. I'm a fan of pin up myself.. and one of my fellow students actually did her final project with a pin up/burlesque model.
