I am a huge Charlton Heston fan, so I try to include one of his films in each calendar. For this shot, I grew a manly beard and gave the photographer my best "1000-mile stare" expression. Our friend Rich likes a quote from this scene: "We keep you alive to serve this ship. So row well, and live!" For extra fun, we decided to swipe a non-posed headshot of our friend Rich to replace the head of a nearby oarsman. He looks like he's having a pretty good time!
