Looks like a cool idea. So where should we drop our pics? In this topic, through mail, PM?

In the past we simply posted them in the thread.  You could also just PM him.

Ok. And the deadline was 4th of july? That should work .

I was rocking back then!

I have got to get a cooler picture than the 2nd one!

Let me think of taking a pic of myself for this.

Thanks Topshot ! I know I have that 2nd one on a hard drive somewhere, but I haven't been able to find it.

One more thing with the pictures- they must only be emailed to me in their highest quality without compression.  When uploaded to CHM sites, FB, cellphone to cellphone, etc, they are compressed and lose a LOT of quality.  So please email them to me when you have a final picture or 2 you are satisfied with.

ALSO, please attempt to take your picture with a toned down background, ie a big blank wall.  It's a lot less work to shave away stuff behind you if I can use a monotone background eraser. 
Thanks 

Try to learn from previous pix.  Even after "lighting" up some images the best I could, some were still really dark.  Others took theirs outside which has a totally different lighting than indoors - you can tell their pic was outside.  Also, be careful to angle it straight on - pix that are off angle are hard to place and sometimes look funny.

Let's make this 3rd CHM G.T. the best, coolest one yet !!

Sounds like you want a new picture from me.  Not sure that's going to happen ... I just don't do pictures much.  Do do you want indoors our outdoors?  Standing or sitting?  Coming or going?

We've got a few months to get this going, so I'm sure anyone who wants to be in this will have a minute to snap a pic.  

Later, I'll sketch out what I'm envisioning and make a checklist for the best picture for everyone here.

I'm going to wait a couple more months and then take a new pic with my lost weight.

This year I'd like to see more Band T-Shirts, more instruments - You play ? Let's see a picture with your instrument. Got a band shirt ? Let's see it. Let's spice this pic up so we make a radical photo.

I said that last year, and the year before, and the year before, and ...

Sorry, I don't wear or buy band t-shirts, and when I wear a t-shirt it's for working in yard or garage (gonna get dirty, greasy, sweaty, etc).  I pretty much stick to polo-style shirts.  I have an old Mortification shirt from many years back, but if I put that on it'll rip!

I played trumpet in high school and college, but haven't played much since.

I'm not convinced you can work my passion into your plans unless you do it for everyone:



Sorry, I really don't mean to poop on your picnic!

So how's this coming along???

(Also, can anyone see the picture I posted on page 1? It isn't showing for me...)

I totally forgot about this.

Me three.

Apparently Jim did too!  That slacker...  

I need to get a photo quick.  I would hate for the leader of this fine community to not be in the picture.

Doesn't show up on my feed either.

Hmm, thanks.  I'll repost it...

Alright, here's the photo that I posted before but is no longer appearing to show up...

^ I remember that pic.


I didn't totally forget about this but always seem to remember at bad times (while at work, going to bed). Since I start vacation tomorrow morning,I should be able to do a pic this next week sometime.

Deadline will most likely be pushed further away... this is a really rough patch we're going thru (with Lisa being laid off, transitioning to a new job, I'm working with the enemy and they're attempting to make it so uncomfortable for me that I quit on my own so they don't hafta lay me off too... so yeh, not much time or drive for anything extracurricular- sorry)
