    Since joining Celtic Society

    Since I joined the Nevada Society of Scottish Clans and like wearing a kilt they want me to be in the Society's calendar. I can't believe it, I ask my wife how she likes being married to a calendar model Anyway here are some possible pics for the calendar.

    I think you definitely should go for it!

    All the pics look great, but the one I think looks best is the one with your foot up on the step:

    That is great! I think the first one is the best for a calendar.

    and I like the middle one best. Guess you'll have to be an entire quarter of the year in the calendar.

    I'd go for pictures 1 or 3. Shoulder to the post, or foot on the step.

    I think it's a great idea.

    I like the steps. You can see the apron and the pleats.

    Ditto, and those weathered steps add to the visual interest. Congratulations on this honor!

    (Of course, they'll probably expect you to purchase 1/12 the print run as gifts. . . )

    I'm with the Society. They are all good photos. But ... I like #1 and #2 best and in that order. #3 is the best pose and setting, but is dark on one side and light on the other. #4 is fine, too, but your pose is not quite as relaxed as in the others.

    Thanks for posting. I admire your courage for exposing yourself to criticism from us hoi polloi. Very nice outfit, by the way.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.
