So after a few beerios the Big E, Karen, Kyung Ah and I thought "Ahhh why not, eh? Let's see if we can make a 2007 KOTR calender."
Karen and Eric's aptly named "Sage" barked a pretty damned committed agreement I might add, so the basic banana is this:
WE need some good photos. Send us your best shot/shots for a later selection vote thing. If they are digital, they'd need be pretty big so as we can blow them up to a size fitting a KOTR calender. Eric will talk tech on pixels and so on. You know, I dunno if the pics need be this years work, or that they must contain KOTR folk (but that might be good anyways). But, I'm sort of feeling that they should somehow relate to the Korean mountain/climbing scene in which we partake, but a good pic is good no matter what the content. Mist shrouded peaks, rimed up trees, dynoing dudes/dudettes, a trad rack at a temple gate, bleeding knuckles, KOTR events etc.
Just as a precaution, if your pic has recognizable faces of people, try and make sure they are cool with being included in the concept...some maybe averse to such publicity, their call.
Also any conceptual ideas, layout suggestions or whatever let us know. We hope you cats will flood us with options and that we can get this little number out by January-ish.
Okey dokey, get crackin' and snappin'. Remember KOTR is what we all make of it. If you have other wild thoughts, post 'em. No-one is your boss/director here.
Love to yous all.

Cool...thats the spirit, now c'mon the rest of yous and send you ideas in. I don't think it's 100% necessary for the said KOTRer to be in country at present, lets have no rules just...you know, sort of conceptual parameters...flexibly speaking!
Skinsk do you have those pics (any specific pics) available to e-mail to Eric? We'll need to get cracking folks, if it's to happen. Get snap happy with those cameras...at a crag, on the rock, on the ice, in a bar, under a pink elephant with a gold lame tutu if need be, just get the pics in. Thanks for getting the ball rolling skinsk!

Josh(i) would have to give permission for me to release said photo. . .:rolleyes8

I VOLUNTEER to take photos of the other mentionees. . . sadly, it might be a little cold for those calendar-selling shots!!

if you include "out of country" guys it'd be too hard to narrow it down to 12!:confused8

Skinsk mate, and everyone else out there in KOTR land, even though there are usually 12 months in a year, a calender can include 13 months (the January next year thing) and we could work in more than 1 pic/month...that is an artistic conceptual banana we are still cogitating on:suspiciou ....maybe a main pic with an insert small pic (which could be of trhe photographer/ a portrait of main KOTRer/ a random thing like bana and walnut pancakes etc). Another idea ventured was for a "collage" type pic somewhere with multiple pics woven together...hell, anything is possible!:becky: I'm sure there are foilk out there more artistically inclined than I, so speak up!
