I was out and about in Cupar recently to take advantage of the good weather. Everywhere was in full bloom as a result of the efforts of a number of people trying to win a floral prize for the the Town. I ended up with some "postcard" type images of the park and the river which set me thinking. There are plenty of calendars for Scotland, Fife or even St Andrews but I've never seen one for Cupar. Is there a market for such a thing? What local outlets are there to sell it?
As a start I composed a list of likely locations that could feature in a Cupar calendar and for an "ordinary" town I quite quickly came up with 14 or 15. Then I started thinking about the type of images that would work. Yes, the postcard, bright colours, blue sky shots would feature but also perhaps winter? - snow certainly but perhaps not rain. Also I think I will have to go "tourist" rather than "art" for the images if a local town or location is the theme; well at least for the first project.
Anyway, I am building a Cupar Project portfolio, which will contain possible calendar images as well as my "Cupar Closes" series and I'll see if something develops.
As ever, I'll keep you posted!
