2nd Annual CHM Fam Get-2gether

Quote :

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.

So practical... I'll hafta see if my wife would like some appliances for Christmas instead of diamond necklaces, bracelets and rings...

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

Yes you know I'm not joking. Actually the year we got the vacuum cleaner we had to "share" the gift (her and I) because we couldn't afford anything else.

The odd part about it, is that these are all gifts she asked for. And she is serious. If I bought her a diamond necklace instead of the crock-pot she would have been disappointed. Now if I had bought her a new diamond necklace and the crock-pot she would have been tickled pink....but also very hungry for about a month or so.....

Now that's funny there, I don't care who y'are

Can I submit my pic?

Of course you can. The family get-2gether is for all CHM members.

I need someone to take a good picture of me.

My thought is the more CHM members the better it is DBF.

Is this a good picture, or not?

While that is a cool pic, there are things needed for the pics.To explain these I will just let Guilty/Forgiven do it in a quote from the first time we did this.

Aiiit, I need everyone who claims CHM as their home to help me on this.

Since it would be pretty much humanly impossible to do, I'm going to use the magic of PaintShop Pro to create a CHM Get Together.

What I need yous to do is take a full photo of yourself (head to toe) - It needs to be:

1. Clear (good quality - not tiny, but at least 1000 pixels high) [not blurry like Sue's pictures - JK !! ]

2. Posed as if you're in a big group of people (Options= crossed arms, hands on sides, one arm up and "around" a pretend person, NO gang symbols, but peace sign or I love you sign is ok, kneeling is ok or one knee on ground ok) -any other ideas you have is cool, ie holding your cat, guitar, etc. Making a face or sticking your tongue out is cool.

3. Please E-mail them to christbday@yahoo.com with your first name. Leave the picture in it's original size, don't resize it (the bigger the better).

When I'm finished, I will unveil a picture that will appear as if all of us got together and posed for a CHM PHOTO ! ! !

Here is the pic from last years "get together".

Can I submit a picture with only part of me, sticking out the side of the get-together photo?

You'll have to get with Guilty/Forgiven on that.See what he says.

I'll wait.

Thanks Hardkore for the re-cap - rules should stay the same as last year however I no longer have "christbday@yahoo.com" - I got tired of having 3 emails and cancelled one yahoo address. Now I only have jlcc777@yahoo.com

As for this years "Get 2-gether" - I have some picture options I'll shrink and post here. Knowing that everyone will probably choose different scenes, I will pick the one that gets the majority vote.

To start- A stage for all us rockers... but not any stage, a CHURCH stage ! For us good church folk...
The cool part of this is, I can impose things on the "big screens" on each side of the stage.
Level of difficulty * = 2




* difficulty level is as follows= 0 is very easy to morph people into the scene, a 10 would be "forget it, this will take me months".
Factors of difficulty:
1. Picture sent to me is not straight on but at an angle... can't do much with that.
2. Picture sent to me is not in front of solid background - too much stuff behind figure increases time working cuz the PSP program I use has a background "green screen" eraser that doesnt work with multi-colors.
3. Scenery: outdoor pix need outdoor photos of people, as indoor scenes need indoor photos all due to lighting.

Next we have the PLAIN stage. Not much to say here, a little boring. (not to mention we'd be facing the wrong way)
Level of difficulty = 0

This is the ROUND room. Like our First Annual picture, I found a nice room to hang out in. The perspective will be a little challenging, but it's a cool room.

Level of difficulty = 5

Introducing the LIBRARY. Since we're all readers here (esp readers of the 66 Books), I thought a reading room would be apropos.

Level of difficulty = 1

And here we have a cool idea... the GOODNIGHT stage. Everyone would pose as a band does at the end of a concert with an arm or arms upraised, holding a guitar up in the air, or drumstix, or pointing to God for His glory, or whatever you can think of.
(Ignore the band already there, I'll be removing them from the scene)

Level of difficulty = 7
I have a silhoutte of an audience with raised hands that I can put at the bottom. I'd also take our photos and fog them a little to make it look like we're on this stage

That's it. Let the voting begin....

I won't count my vote, but I like the first one = CHURCH stage

Gotta go with the stage page. Even if we don't, I might get you to doctor that for my CD. It would be cool to have a live "band" shot. LOL

I like the first and the last one the best (not a big fan of the library picture). The stage shot does look a little washed-out/grainey though

So is that 2 of you for the CHURCH stage ?

(say yes... not that I'm trying to sway the voting )

I go for the first and the last one too.
On this way the CHM-band we have talked about some time ago looks like reality.

Church Stage - but only if Staybrite wears his licorice thong and hard hat. Also add the crowd in front of the stage.

Church!
