The call makers on this site are making some of the prettiest calls I've seen in all my years of call making.

They are just too nice to post and then let slide down the page and go out of site.   So, I have some space on the main web site, and I would like to start pulling some of the photos of your calls out and putting them in a member gallery.   I'll send you a PM first, asking your permission.   If you have a call making company or business, I will list it and link to your web site if you have one, but it's not needed.   The photos will be small, but when you click on them, they will expand to full size.

I hope to get this up and rolling later this week.   Of course, if you dont want to have your photos posted, all you have to do is say no and we'll ban you.    :devil2:   Just kidding.  If you dont want them up, it's your choice and no one will hold it against you.    I will always ask you first if I can post them.   

So what do you think?  Good idea or bad idea?

Thanks for you time.

 :up1:  Great idea Al!  I agree completely!  There are some AWESOME call photos shown here that just slip to the way-side in short order due to other calls being made and more new threads being posted.  We DO need a 'best of the best' gallery.

(Oh, and if you would......please humor me, and find one of my cheesy calls to add to the gallery.   :rofl: )

And Al knocks another one out of here  :2guns: :2guns:  You never cease to impress me Al.  I think that is a wonderful idea sir.  And I agree, there are some very talented call makers here and as a site, we should be proud of them.  Way to go guys

I like the idea however I think it will be awile before I get asked to post a call to the gallery.  I am still learning but look forward to the day when Al asks if he can post one of my calls.
