If I don't lose my shirt on the calendars I might consider doing another, but they have along way to go based on the current bids.... I'll speak on behalf of all toenail collectors by saying- You bet! We would love for you to record a video I could add to the site here for folks to get the basics of better toenail photos. We'd rather see a movie that read text anyday.... All you need to do is record it, then upload it to YouTube and then I can "bring" it into a post here in The News. I know that sounds complicated but is really isn't. If you use a Mac, then iMovie will sent to YouTube, if you are on a PC....well then too bad :-) Shoot me an email and let's finish the discussion, and we'll figure out the best approach to help all of us here get better photos.

Now that I know the rest of the story (iPhoto) it makes even more sense. I see that your photographs are getting better all the time, (yeah). Even so. I would like to suggest that at some point you consider creating an updated calender with photos made by one or more of your professional photographer friends,... Who knows, perhaps I could even post a "How to photograph a knife" tutorial somewhere and you could have several collectors submit photos of their knives,... Just a thought.
