The great Primavera photo and film initiative

Over the last 4 years, we have played at close to 50 events, and have done almost 200 rehearsals (scary!). A lot of people have made a lot of pictures and even films, and it's time to start a good archive of this, for our own purpose, but also as a source of media pictures we can use for promotion.

So, I need your help to gather as many pictures as we can! Here is the high-level plan:
1) 1-Nov till 12-Nov: have a look around at home and start collecting all your pictures. Do not send me anything yet at this stage;
2) 5-Nov: I'll make a list of all the gigs and will post information about this. I'll then make some instructions on how to put your pictures on CD(s). If you want I can supply blank CDs;
3) Early Dec: I collect all the CDs and put them in one big archive. I've got some good archiving software that I purchased for this;
4) December: We'll do some classification (probably a 1-5 star rating of each picture). That way we can easily find the best pictures;
5) I'll give everyone a CD with the best pictures, OR I post them on the web somehow (to be decided).

For people that have film footage (I think that's Paul, Patty and Dorian), please email me a list of what you've got as soon as you can.
