Hmmmm.... I'll have to start thinking about this, now that I've met some other deadlines and gotten a few other projects taken care of.... Time to uncase a bunch of Rics and see if one or more of them inspire me for this year's photo submissions! :mrgreen:

I always enjoy photographing my guitars, but feel like I am starting to run out of fresh ideas for cool pictures.... :roll:

As I am a newbie to this forum, how will the calendars be available and please tell me you will accept PayPal as payment.

Thanks.

In the past they've always been available at cafepress.com.

RickResource Items at Cafepress

No Paypal, but they do take credit cards.

I should add to the newbies here, that these are done as a not-for-profit service, to spread the word and images of Rickenbacker instruments into contemporary public consciousness. (Damn, I sound like a politician...)

I did the conceptual and production artwork for these items (as I do the calendars each year) for free. The price Cafe Press charges to produce these items is the price that you are charged. So, I suppose you could say that Cafe Press makes a profit on the RRF store, but since we're not affiliated with them in any way, our conscience is clear.

This year--finally--I will have enough hi-res photos for a calendar of my own, featuring Rickenbackers I've built or restored. This will have a markup, and I'd appreciate the support of RRF members and their friends, so I can make it an annual thing.

Both of these calendars (not to mention the mugs, T-shirts, etc.) will make excellent Christmas gifts, so wait for the announcement about December 5 or thereabouts!

A fine photo, Paul, and the trademark hat sitting amongst two fine Ricks. Spectacular!

Paul,

I will be happy to buy your calendar too. One can't have too many Ric calendars in the same house :mrgreen:

I've had a Cafe Press store with some North of Malibu stuff and some Rick posters...there will be more towards year's end, including my calendars.

The posters are gorgeous--I have the full set hanging in my studio.
