Evening all!

I'm after a bit of self-serving grovelling, and to be upfront, there's nothing in it for anyone else!

I'm delighted to be getting wed on Saturday 26th April!

Do any of my fellow wasters fancy taking a snap in their part of the world around the time of the ceremony? I'd like (with the appropriate copyright permission/waiver) to then put an album together of photos that anyone else was taking at this time. Any subject!

I'll be joining in (though I've not yet explained that bit to the future Mrs Chops!)

Polaroids, holgas, pin holes, large format, anything really.

Would be a fantastic way of sharing my big day!

Does this sound like a good idea, or just a bit daft?

The wedding's at 12pm GMT (1pm BST) on 26th April. (early evening in Asia, early morning in America)

Many many thanks,

Chops

Well, according to my calendar, that's the day after Polaroid Week, and the day before World Polaroid Day... so I might not have much to do that day.

Sounds like a good idea to me... I'll try and get something for you- any particular subject??

Thanks for the support guys!

Any subject will be just dandy for me thanks.

That's really made my day!

Sounds a great idea. I'll see what I can come up with. How do you want to receive our efforts?

choppert · « **Reply #5 on:** April 15, 2008, 06:46:00 PM »

Either as a print (which would be nice, though a little cheeky) or as a digital file which I could print myself.

A nice quality scan would mean I could produce an 8x10 print.

I won't fiddle with digital files, so feel free to fiddle with them as much as you'd like.

As for the prints, having different sizes, papers and original polaroids would all be cool!

Many thanks,

Chops

Wally · « **Reply #6 on:** April 15, 2008, 10:08:50 PM »

send me a PM with your address so I can mail out your prints

Pete_R · « **Reply #7 on:** April 15, 2008, 10:19:22 PM »

Can you PM your addy to me as well please.

Pete_R · « **Reply #8 on:** April 16, 2008, 06:33:08 PM »

Anyone else joining in - this could become an ad hoc collaboration?

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #9 on:** April 16, 2008, 10:18:43 PM »

I'll try to join in, but will need a reminder probably otherwise I'll miss it. Will put something in my phone's calendar, but a reminder post here the day before would be good.

Great idea, Chops! .....and many congratulations.

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #10 on:** April 16, 2008, 10:19:32 PM »

BTW, I see no reason why we shouldn't put everyone's efforts up as a gallery here on FW once the dust has settled on the big day.

tijeras · « **Reply #11 on:** April 16, 2008, 10:33:24 PM »

I'm in.
6AM for me....good shooting time of day.

BTW-Congrats!

I second that. That will be extra fun too!

choppert · « **Reply #15 on:** April 17, 2008, 10:41:14 AM »

Ndroo,

Should be about 6pm in Singapore, but any time around that would be great.

Some night time shots would be good. Maybe of some of the sky scrapers, if you are anywhere near the business district?

Many thanks,

Chops

Cool! Marked it on my calendar already. I stay pretty far from the biz district but will definitely take some pics there if I happen to go near ... else I'll probably have some shots from the local bar ...

Hi Chops,

I'm in Vegas and can take some snaps for you on the Strip. Can you PM me your addy?

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #18 on:** April 17, 2008, 07:15:25 PM »

Hey Chops...congrats on the big day! I will be in Crete for a spiffing Orthodox Easter so it will be my pleasure to spread a little Greek love your way and I am sure you are nothing short of a God to the future Mrs Chops! Send me your address and I will send you a print with pleasure......always to feel something physical between your fingers...there I go anticipating the honeymoon night!

tijeras · « **Reply #19 on:** April 17, 2008, 07:25:26 PM »

Forgot to add, PM me your address as well.
I'll get the print out to you after your special day!

formica · « **Reply #20 on:** April 18, 2008, 05:13:15 AM »

if i've figured this out correctly, it'll be 8pm here which means i should be able to get some sort of shot done for you.

Phil, you didn't really say that did you?!!

I'll try and remember

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #23 on:** April 19, 2008, 12:08:10 PM »

Sorry Ed it was a moment of weakness! I may have been watching some old Les Dawson video or something.....must learn to think before I press send

Andrea. · « **Reply #24 on:** April 19, 2008, 09:24:26 PM »

Yep, I'm in

Aline · « **Reply #25 on:** April 21, 2008, 01:13:04 AM »

I'm in too---early morning in California...and btw...congratulations! I'm sure the bride-to-be is thrilled with your description of the impending union...
Have fun!

choppert · « **Reply #26 on:** April 25, 2008, 08:06:04 AM »

Right then chaps and chapesses,

Here's the reminder that Ed requested for Saturday's big "Chops is getting married ad hoc collaboration type thingy"

Many thanks to all who have already said they will join in, and a preemptive thanks you to all those who will join in after reading this final grovelling post!

Please join me in taking a snap of something, anything, in your part of the world when I am happily marrying the girl of my dreams (around 12pm GMT). If you can't join in, then I hope you will be able to raise your glass to us at some point on Saturday and have a little drink for us, and for all follow Filmwasters*

Fingers crossed for a nice day for us and for you.

Best wishes,

Chops

* Now, THAT was pretty blatant wasn't it?!

choppert · « **Reply #27 on:** May 10, 2008, 10:07:54 AM »

Hi all,

Just a quick note from the sunny Maldives to say thanks for all the kind wishes from everyone.

We had a fantastic day - I'll put a couple of photos up when we get back home.

Thanks for all who joined in,

Chops

formica · « **Reply #28 on:** May 11, 2008, 02:34:22 PM »
