Our photos will be on a calendar

I missed posting yesterday. I had nothing to say which is unusual for me. As many of you know, we take photos at horse endurance rides. We are usually some of the first to arrive at a venue and we help set up as much as we can. Next year, the national major ride will be held in Western Australia and we’ll be taking photos of it. As a promotional stunt, the association is going to print a calendar and wants to exclusively use our photos. So that is a bit of a buzz. Vince is now very busy picking out a selection of photos to offer them. We won’t charge for the photos as it won’t be costing us anything and it’s good PR (public relations). And another email has just arrived. It seems they’ve already picked out the photos they’d like. But that’s okay too. Saves us a lot of hassle trying to find 12 photos out of hundreds. We’re also planning a family celebration in the next fortnight but I’ll write about that later. Photo was taken at an endurance ride.

Beautiful action shot. It's so crispy clear. I hope you'll be able to share parts of that calendar with us, I'd love to see the shots they wanted.

There are no other professionals or even dedicated amateurs taking photos so in a way it's not too surprising.

We have made calenders for a couple of friends. We took photos of their garden when they were away and had a calendar made for them. And we did something similar for my sister.

@DocAndersen Umm - I'm not sure. I'm trying not to be rude but the 'inside of the lens cap calendar' doesn't sound very positive!

There is an end game there and I think you have the right idea. The publicity has far more value than a check. I hope it works out well for you,

We have to keep reminding ourselves that we're not really trying to make a career out of this. It has to remain just a sideline and fun. However I guess we get a bit ambitious too and start thinking about promotion, etc.

That's wonderful. I like horses but I've never ridden one. I've ridden donkeys and Shetland ponies but not a proper horse. Sounds like that calendar will be really good.
