Ah, William, Thank you for your enquiry about the calendar. It is a tradition at the Hazel Leaf Studio that each year I invent yet another excuse to truss my friends up in historical costumes ( or peel them out of the same costumes ) and produce a calendar. My friends are members of the Grey Company, or the Perth Rifle Volunteers, or the Belly Dancers, or the Sherlock Holmes Society, or so on. They can be enticed to dress up, or pop out or whatever with little effort - they are hams. Last year I proposed to the pure-silver list that I would exchange a 2004 calendar for an example of whatever the recipient produced in their own darkroom - or on their computer. It was an exchange of photos designed to give me a mini-gallery of sorts, and it was wildly successful. Not everyone has had a chance to respond yet, but still a good body of varied work arrived. I am delighted. Would you like to participate in the 2005 exchange? This year's calendar theme is " Pirates ". Be warned that the calendars are strictly moral and all of the participants are clothed. In my studio tar and feathers is considered to be clothed.
