What is the aim of the Calendar Project?
Pretty simple, really – shoot and produce a calendar and sell shed-loads of them. Sounds easy enough! At this point I am intending it to be a 2010 calendar, but I have a suspicion that getting it all done soon enough might be a little too ambitious.
So far, apart from a little bit of chatting about the idea and several years idly thinking about it, I have done nothing more than state my intention.
There are so many things to think about:
- Subject matter of the calendar
- Physical aspects; size, format, layout, colours
- How and where to sell the calendar?
- How to produce it and what will it cost?
- Time scale; what will have to be accomplished by certain times
Already I’m letting this overwhelm me (and I’m certain that list barely begins to cover it!) – time to break it down into chunks I can work with.
Okay, so what I do know is that I am doing this because it is something I have always wanted to do. There is no definite deadline, I’m not relying on it making me rich and famous and whatever happens I am certain I will enjoy it and that I will learn from it. Right, all self-imposed pressure is now lifted!
The plan is to publish my thoughts and findings as I go along, hopefully creating a journal (and possibly even a plan) on the way. I think this is enough preamble – it’s time to go and consider the next small step…
