2nd Annual CHM Fam Get-2gether

2011... time to start organizing the 2nd Annual CHM Family Get Together !
I'm planning way ahead this year. Last years was September, this year I'm shootin for June (God willing and my body don't drop dead).

So this is phase 1: Thinking about it. Dropping suggestions, ideas, etc

Phase 2 will be submitting pictures - preferrably indoor shots with lighting on both sides of you if possible (that way one doesn't have lighting on their left side and one on their right) - The more basic the background, the less work for me... kinda like a "green screen" effect where I can cut you out easier.
Begin sending pix around March, with the final entries in April and I'll begin Phase 3: Working on the picture through May and unveiling the semi-convincing photo that we all flew in and partied together for an evening.

PS - this year I want all heights for every entry !! Accuracy in the height department seems to be very important to SOME of you.

And make sure ALL those pictures get forwarded to me...

Don't send them to sabidoo if you know what's good (or in this case, bad) for you!

Oh man, that would be horrific!

Since yall brought up being nekkid, why not have us in a strip club?

I thought of the Strip Club idea with the poles and everything... but thought a nude beach might have more taste.




Buuuuut, truthfully, I'm kinda limited by what I can find on the internet. I have to be able to work with a huge photo, and the majority of rooms/halls/banquet areas/ etc are smaller Jpegs. Ideal is 1300X900 or above... hard to find rooms from search engines with that size. But there are a few out there. Gonna start searchin here soon when I get some time.
It would be ideal if I could choose a place that was way cool and well known and just go get a picture, but when I've tried that, the biggest pix I could find were little 300X200 or were Gifs or some other low quality format.
We'll see. It'll be a surprise.... if anyone else finds some excellent rooms to party in, send 'em to me for consideration !

Wow 1300x900 is large picture size.

Seems like I seldom see much over 500x500

Exactly.

But if you use different search engines and limit them to "Large" hits only, you can get a few in the 800s and an occasional 1000+ size

If I use something smaller, it's harder to work with and the quality of the finished product is poo.

Maybe I'll grab a few "Rooms" and post them so we here at CHM can vote on a room. Sound cool ?

Sounds like a good idea to me. I like to vote.

Why does it need to be a room?

Hmmmm... gotta point -

Howabout I put everyone on the freeway ?

Have you gotten pictures for the annual CHM meeting?

Oh wow, I knew a new get together photo was to be done this year but totally forgot about this thread. I guess I should go ahead and get a new pic of me done soon.

Start getting some new pix of ya'all to me... sooner the better.
Cut off date shall be June 1st. I'll complete the final work in June.

I have a few rooms picked out, but am considering something different, like maybe a stage (as if we're a band hangin out on a stage)

Idk yet ? Any better ideas ?

Wait.....I didn't know we were getting tattoos! (I'm not sure I can do this)

Guilty/forgiven can you give us an e-mail addy were we can send the pics too?

I simply posted my pic here last time. That is how he got it from me.

the bigger (higher quality) the photo, the better (I don't know about cell phones, `cough-Gary-cough`).... posted here works, but if you got an original uncompressed pic, send it to jlcc777@yahoo.com

(funny story behind that "tattoo" pic above - originally taken after my Father-in-law died - he had a donkey that the family had to figure out what to do with.... long funny story with trying to sell the donkey and how it eventually just died, SO, I took that photo and superimposed a donkey on my arm and sent it to the whole family telling them of my tribute tat to Dad - The donkey was upside-down as if dead)

That is hilarious!

And yes, I will send you a much higher quality picture this time....bought my wife a new digital camera for Christmas.

I'm getting better...the year before I bought her a crock-pot.......I think the year before that it was a new vaccum cleaner.

I remember that Staybrite you have given your wife a vacuum cleaner for Christmas.
