I don't think it would be possible for 2006. It would take time to select the photos, get all the copyright agreements in place, make the layout, make arrangements with a printer, have them printed and so on. EDITING OF MY PHOTOS IS NOT ALLOWED

I think a calendar is not a good idea anyway, as there is significant risk in being left with old stock that has no value. It's not like they can be easily made to order either, an investment up front needs to be made, and then there is ordering, storage, payment processing and packing to worry about. I doubt there is any money in it and there is plenty of money to be lost and even more hassle. Selling members images would be an option given set up costs would not be high and everything is sent digitally. I'm sure there are plenty of good images around on members hard drives and the sale price could be pegged v's the commercial competition and so attract commercial buyers if well marketed. https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php?t=1203740

Is it possible to "sell " through the POTN shop increased avatar size ? I know when the mods avatars became larger their was a cry amongst some that they too wanted a bigger one. It might appeal to those who dont contribute to the forum because they would like to see something tangible for their donated money as well as those who would just like a larger avatar. To allow larger avatars by paying money would be wrong in my opinion. It would only advertise that some people could afford it and some couldn't. It would create a class of have and have nots.

I have only been a member for a week and I have probably learned more than when I started photography a few years. If written published well could generate good profit...and free exposure for POTN...But then I work in publishing...go figure. ______________
