"A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words" Pass!

With so many new and unique passes going around, I wanted to hold up my end of the deal when I started mine. Well, I said I'd do one at the start of the new year, and here we are.

A little background info: I'm a big fan of cameras and taking pictures. As the old saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words" and I strongly believe that. So with that in mind, I decided that my pass would center around this theme.

The plans are for me to send a disposable camera with digital capabilities (I'm still looking into this) or my digital camera (with software, cables, and instructions) to each of the participants as part of the pass. It'll take a little extra work on each players' part... but I think it'll be worth it. The idea is to take a pic of your Puts/Takes and post them rather than just listing them out. In addition, each player is free to take any other pics they want. This can range from smiling with the contents of the pass to smoking one of the Takes... or perhaps a pic of your dog's latest "accomplishment" in the yard. At the end of the pass, I will post all of the pics that were taken during the pass for everyone to enjoy. So if you take a "naughty" pic and don't want everyone to see... make sure to delete it from the memory, okay?

Because of the camera, this will be a rather short pass. Here's the starting lineup!

I'm in!!! Sounds like a very cool idea for a pass.

By the way, I studied photojournalism in college, so if you ever want any shooting tips, ask away.

Cool idea for a pass. This should be good!

Bro,

:thumbs: NICE LINE UP OF PLAYERS AND STYX!!!!!!!!!! :thumbs:


Kurt and I had a little talk about this camera idea of yours(last night while sipping Jonny Walker Red and Jegg in 16degree weather for 4 hours) and think its a great idea!!! You better hope we are not sipping on that sh#! when your camera gets to town :0 .

LOL!!!


I'm just woundering if anyone here (playing in the pass) is to shy to take what could become of the memory card in your camera :sneaky: !!!! I'm sure it will be kept clean for the posting side of it, but what might come home may make some BLUSH and possably make you some $$$.


Thanks for the invite Bro!!!

Vewy....when do you think this will hit the road?

I'm waiting for the Climmax beads to come in from the CW group buy. I've got some humidification devices in there... but I'm not sure if it'll be enough. I plan on getting it out tomorrow regardless. It's pretty much all boxed up, camera and all.

I can feel it coming... SHOWTIME!

Bring it on Fishy! :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:


This could get VERY interesting!


Great idea and Line-Up!

Sorry for the delay. The original box didn't work. Needed to find a better box.

Styx, I borrowed your styrofoam idea. I hope you don't mind!!! :thumbs:

Here we go. First pics! MY Puts.


Sticks 1 through 10



Sticks 11 through 20

The pass is on the road! I'll post DC in about an hour.
