Posters, etc.

OK, guys, your comments have forced me to ask this question....

Well, forced may be a bit strong. hee.

I have been talking to another adoptive mom who also loves photography, and we have a dream. I need to ask ya'll if you think it is something that could work.

The dream is to create photos with Bible verses--or inspirational phrases-- (and possibly a calendar) and offer them for sale to do some fundraising for orphans. We would maybe choose one charity per month to send the proceeds to.

Another thought we had is to offer several photos to families who are trying to fund raise for an adoption. They could sell the photos to whomever they wanted and the proceeds would be sent to their adoption agency to pay expenses.

We would offer the photos in a variety of sizes--from small 5x7 to posters, depending on where people planned to use them in their homes. We could also do custom photos if families had a favorite verse they wanted on a photo.

I am just wondering if this would even work? Would it raise enough to even put a dent in anyone's financial burden? There are logistics to consider about printing and mailing, but the first step is trying to ascertain if there is enough interest in the project.

Opinions? Don't be afraid to be the voice of reason if you think it's not do-able. :)
