I really apologize with the voting thread for February just going up today (02/10/2010) and only today posting the March Parker of the Month thread. As some of you know - I've been a bit busy hopping in and out of Haiti (and I'm about to hop back in for a bit.).. Anyway - without any further adieu....

With 14 photographs submitted last month - it's time for the submitting pictures for the March 2010 Parker of the Month - all who are registered to the Parker Forums are encouraged to participate.. Until later this month (February, if my calendar is correct ;) ), please post your pictures in this thread (and only this thread!). I will close this thread on or about February 25th - and post a new POLL so folks can vote on their favorite "Parker of the Month". At the end of the poll - the winning picture will be shown here:

http://parkerguns.org and be reserved for the month of February 2010 when (if??) we do a Parker Calendar.

The Ground rules are simple.....

Please post up to FIVE of YOUR (sorry - they MUST BE YOUR PHOTOS!) pictures in this thread.

We encourage you to enter even if you only have one photo that you like, as folks will be looking for "that Parker Quailty" that defines "Why we do this", so that one photo could be a winning photo. Those my be of a Parker, hunting scene with a Parker, still-life or even an action shot.

Members may comment on the photo entries in the photo contest thread and leave nice comments about other images in the thread if you feel the urge to do so. BUT - please do not post any photos in this thread that are not intended to be entries. Pictures NOT posted as entries will be deleted from the thread.....

Editing rule: Altered Images—Photographs manipulated for artistic purposes by applying digital and/or traditional special effects (i.e. hand coloring, toning, bleaching, collage and photo composites, etc.) are accepted. In short - "show us what you got" - BUT - the Parker Shotgun must remain "as is" (sorry, you can't make your Trojan an "A-1" with photoshop, if you know what I mean )

Occasionally, some member(s) or organization(s) may donate prizes for the monthly contest. These will be announced in the appropriate month's thread (as above). If you know a business that would like to participate - please have them contact me directly.

All votes and prize winners will be final - SO WAIT UNTIL THE VOTING THREAD to "express your opinion "I'll vote for that" ""

By entering, participants grant permission for their winning photos to be used as an main photo on the PGCA Website, Calendar (with attribution - of course) and maybe other areas of the PGCA site....

Good luck..!

John

Chuck,

Love the stock. Not so much the hat.:):duck:
If you don't mind, how about some who and where on the stock.

Very Nice.

Harry,
The wood was from a friend that bought this English walnut blank and another from Pachmyr 30+ years ago. The work was by a friend that wishes to remain anonymous.

John, that is just wonderful! Congratulations on acquiring the painting to go with his Parker. I didn't know he painted too - was he a prolific painter?

Art, your "Good Job" photo looks almost good enough to be a WHF painting.

Dean, Kimble apparantly did quite a bit of painting. I now have two of his Parker's and three of his oil's.
