The Family Snapshot Thread.

[Craig]

Well it was kind of (hopefully) inevitable that there would be a bunch of copy cat family snapshots.

So giving credit to Strumming Fool we'll start off with his impressive family.

ill shoot a note to the other mods to see what they think

I don't own enough guitar stands. 
Maybe I will have to get creative.

Very pretty family Craig - thanks for getting this started!

timfitz63, I'd like to see your guitar family picture.

I'd like to oblige you, Susie.  But I'm not currently in a position to snap a photo of the group, being as how we're roughly 1,000 miles apart at the moment...  Plus I'm not sure I have a lens with a wide enough field-of-view to put them all together in one shot...  And I definitely don't have enough guitar stands...

If I had a fancy graphics program on my computer, I could potentially cobble together individual photos into a "family" shot...  Or just post a bunch of individual shots in this thread... But that sort-of defeats the purpose of a "family" shot...

Ultimately, it might have to wait until the next time I'm back in Texas with some time to spare...

We know you can do it.

If you are ever able, it would be impressive to see.

Maybe one of these days. I have one of my dulcimers, will that do?

I think the bigger issue is how you will hire a helicopter to do an aerial shot. You've got an impressive arsenal that will be tough to fit in a cellphone lens.

Haha.....you want to borrow my husband's drone?!

Frankly, getting an aerial shot would be the least of my logistical problems, given that I have a pilot's certificate and a Piper "Cherokee" -- and I'm not afraid to use either of them...   Plus the test program on which I'm currently working is for a helicopter...

But yeah a cell phone lens isn't going to cut it...  I do have a "fish-eye" lens for my old film-based SLR; that would get all of them into one shot, but it'll look like it's from a mile away...  Based on the other "family" photos posted so far, I'd say 8-10 guitars are probably the limit of what can be usefully displayed in one photo -- and I only have five guitar stands.  That alone means I'd have to stage multiple photos...

Whew!  Sounds like a week of Sundays to get it organized and executed...!  It would probably be simpler if folks just dropped by for a visit -- when I'm there, of course -- which is almost never these days...

It's all part of my cunning plot to stop you lot playing so I can catch up a bit

OK, lazy Sat morning (and oddly rainy day in SoCal), so snapped a few off the ol' iphone.  The herd I am so fortunate to have acquired over the decades (and yes, I tell myself I'm done!).


No back shots, but the Macassar on the 616ltd is beautiful (the top uniform, reflections look like figuring but it's not).  And the quilted maple on the RT-2 is stunning, IMHO, with coco binding all the way up the headstock.


The flamed maple and honey-burst fin on the 12 is likewise breathtaking to my eyes. And that's green paua and rw binding/soundhole on the DN.


This strat has been through much with me and the one on the left is my personal build of a BCRich (I built her from lumber )


These two guys are on the floor:




I'm a very happy guy
