SPAM: 2004 SliderPhoto Calendar

[SliderPhoto]

It's calendar time again. This year I'm not waiting for schedules to be finalized. Instead I have a goal to be shipping calendars by December 1st.  

My plan is to make one calendar for all the organizations that I shot for this season. I'm going to change the design a bit to include even more photos--photo count should be over 150. The photos will come from various tracks such as: Blackhawk, Gateway, Mid America, Road America, Gingerman, Grattan, Mid-Ohio, Beaver Run, and Putnam Park.

I'll be picking the photos for the calendar the next week or so. If you would like to be in the calendar please post here or e-mail me. Include the number of your favorite photo if possible. Obviously I didn't make it to a lot of races this past season. If you have a favorite photo from 2003 that would be fine too.

Calendars are $15.

Here's what the RoadRace calendar looked like last year: http://www.sliderphoto.com/ccs/2003_calendar_preview.htm

Eddie to be bigger in the picture, you'll just need to grow taller.   ;D  

Whoo hoo!!!!  Jack's doing another calendar.  I'll take two.  Now it's time to browse.

I think you got me in a few good pictures this year.

ALTHOUGH and I speak for many of us when I say you needed to be around a little more this season...  we just missed having you around.  ;D

I understand and agree, I missed being at the races as well. Although I enjoy doing what I do, it is a lot of work and there are costs involved. While I appreciate everyone, like yourself, that did purchase a print or CD it seems most are happy looking at themselves on the site or printing the photos with SAMPLE accross them. It was a little disheartening printing the photos for the CCS quilt that was auctioned off for the Wegman. Out of the 40+ pics I'd say less than 5 ever bought a pic from me.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a racer but I do understand the costs involved to race and understand photos are simply extras. I'm open to any suggestions feel free to e-mail me. I've tried to keep my prices low but maybe there's something I'm missing.

I'm anxious to see how the schedules work for 2004. Even if there is overlap I have a plan that hopefully will mean more coverage for MW/GL/GP region events.

Jack... you have mail! (How much of a bribe are we talking here?) I have a pretty good job!  ;)

I've e mailed you twice about a poster...

Maybe a post season CD sale?  We usually have more money in the post season.  If you offered every shot of a guy on CD for maybe $100, and 20 guys took you up on it, that would help, right?  I dunno...  I can't help myself when it comes to your pictures, so I guess I'm in the minority.  I just rode so poorly this year that you didn't get many good shots of me. :-[

I've made this a sticky so everyone would have the opportunity to see Jack's note.

Chris, did I not get back to you? Hmm.

In this case it would help. :)  I attended 3 events and CDs are $30. You can get all that now for $90. What a deal!  :P  

I considered package deals at the beginning of the year but I decided not to. For a certain price you get everything on CD and maybe a few prints. Then I know who wants photos and I can give them more attention. But if I miss an event people feel cheated. That's why I didn't do it.

But is it really price? My prices are already lower than any other photographer I've seen. And I take a ton of photos. Maybe I should just sell at the track and not post them. That seems to be working for the other people.
