Looking for Ponders in MD, DE and NJ for Pond Book

[Benign Vanilla]

Hey gang,

I am currently working on a project to create a coffee table style pond
book. The details of the layout and such are still being refined, so I'd
rather not share them yet. We are still evaluating whether this is a viable
project or not, and we decided the first step would be to see if we could
stir up interested and get volunteers to let us interview them and
photograph their ponds.

To get started we are looking for candidate ponds in the NJ, DE, and MD.
We'd like to test some ideas out locally, before we have too many expenses
traveling around.

If you are interested in having your pond featured in a book, please contact
me offline at

jeffrey at darofamily dot com or at bvanilla at tibetanbeefgarden dot com

Thanks.

BV.

[Benign Vanilla]

If you are interested, and would like to provide feedback, I have posted a
cursory first swag of what information we will be collecting about each
pond.

http://www.darofamily.com/jeff/links/gather.htm

This data will be provided along with photographs taken by a professional
photographer.

BV.

Right now my pond would be a good example of what can happen
when you don't keep up the trimming of plants! I've pulled
3 wheel barrels full of water hyacinth and there are still
too many! The lilies have suffered because of it! So if
you want an example of what not to do - just let me know.

But, my water is clear ;-)

Sorry BV. :o( I wish I could remember the website that tried to do this
before. We even had the professional photographer come here (Tri-Cities,
WA) and take pictures during one of our pond tours. I drove him around. As
far as I know the website just didn't go. ~ jan

Maybe you have just limited the territory to much. I am in Virginia and
didn't respond because you limited me out. I don't know but 2 others on
here that are in the territory defined, and one of them responded.

I am very interested in a professional documentary of my pond in Enola
but I am not interested in moving it to Delaware or Maryland, and I'd
rather drain it than have it in New Jersey. ;-)
Thanks for the effort.

Rich, we can definately include Virginia. We originally set up the DE, NJ,
MD thing for one reason. The photographer is from NJ, and I am from MD. So
we figured phase one, test out our ideas, techniques and plans in an area we
can drive to.

This sounds like a project for those long lonely cold nights this winter
when we are sitting in our nice warm cozy homes, hoping we did
everything right to the ponds this summer, and will see our beloved
"Pond Pigs" and other pond friends alive and well after the spring thaw.

Right now it's just time for most of us to start to ready them for the
winter.

Great.

We're still in the planning stages. I just wanted to feel you guys out to
see what kind of interest we could stir up.

BV.

[Robyn Rhudy]

Yes, I sent an e-mail to BV. I removed the no spam thing. It did not
bounce back to me. My ponds are kind of full of weeds right now but I
said to him that I don't mind photographers visiting, and he could visit
anytime. He lives 15 minutes from me.

I somehow missed that email. My apologies. I will add you to the list.

I also responded I'm interested but never got a reply. I'm in NJ.

BV probably thought y'all were spam, not recognizing names. If it doesn't
have koi, pond, or similar in the subject, and I don't recognize a name,
I'm apt to delete it. ~ jan

Tom, my apologies. I don't know what is up with my email, that is causing me
to not get these emails. I'll add you to the list.
