    Rob,

    I'll respectfully disagree with your assessment concerning Hamish's love of the camera (that's not meant to insult, it's just my personal opinion): There are many other gentlemen here (young and old alike) who have posted great looking photos, but not all of them were individual and/or posed photographs.

    Group photos (i.e., more than just a couple of people), or photos of kilted men on the job (or with family members) should be considered as well, don't you think? A bit of variety would suit the calendar, I think, and that's more of what I [personally] had in mind.

    Perhaps "a kilted city a month" calendar? A photo of a gathering of the kilted at a recognizable landmark in some of the areas of kilt concentration.

    That is a great idea. Perhaps the Xmarkers in each area could get together just for that purpose. Those in the DC area could get together and pose in front of one of the buildings or monuments. Those near Philadephia could pose in front of, say Independence Hall. Those around Denver could do the same at a landmark there. And similar posings could be arranged at other cities. I'm certainly willing to make the short trip into DC for this purpose.

    Poor Graham. He'll have to pose by himself in Tasmania! Unless of course he can get someone from mainland Australia to join him.

    While I think this is a great idea, I think that if we want it we should manage all aspects, including getting quotes, setting prices, receiving photos, then present Hank with a draft version for his approval. I don't think it is fair to expect Hank to take this on, since it is not his idea. I think that we could handle most/all of the work, and just let Hank have final editorial control.

    I also like the idea of a kilted city per month showing the Xmarks members in front of a local landmark. It would give us all a chance to see people in their home towns and with soime great landmarks.

    I would be willing to allow our theater's website with a cafe press store the use of our cafepress shop, but I would want the pictures emailed to me, so I could submit them all without having to edit them, but they'd have to be the right size, and ready to go, per cafe press's requirements. Also, what little profit, would benefit our historical theater renovation, a dollar or two. I am just in the process of getting our calendar done.

    How many months would be on the calendar? Could I have one with sixteen? (along with that back ordered twenty-five hour day) that we've all been so patiently awaiting!!!

    And don't forget that my week needs three Fridays and only a half Monday. So, six weekends could work in easily
    Go, have fun, don't work at, make it fun! Kilt them, for they know not, what they wear. Where am I now?

    Maybe you could incorporate one of these for us retired folks?

    I have the top one of these hanging on my wall in front of me.

    Now if I could only discover a wrist watch or pocklet watch version, I'd be set.
