Send your pictures please!
You like go, you like your goban, your go stones and bowls.
I think the appreciation for the game can be enhanced if more people see how beautiful it is.
I want to show nice go equipment on a dedicated website.
So, please be so kind as to send me some pictures of the things you like most!
Mail to: goishi at goishi.nl or pm me.
I would also very much appreciate to receive (and be allowed to publish online, credits due) pictures which capture the atmosphere and spirit of playing go.
Do yourself a favour, and show off your equipment!
Help! Let me help you to show (off) your go equipment

Re: Help! Let me help you to show (off) your go equipment
Hello (fellow) Catlver,
Thank you for directing me and others to that other topic.
Browsed it with interest.
Still, that is not exactly what I meant.
So, I hope readers here will not refrain from sending pictures if they feel inclined to do so.
First, I think nice go equipment deserves a dedicated website (at least in the country where I live). Not somewhere in a forum. Anything which helps broaden interest in go is helpful IMO. Easy access to a dedicated website and more visibility for everything related to go can be of help, I think. Perhaps it even helps enhance appreciation for the material we sometimes play with so thoughtlessly (speaking for myself here, of course).
Second, I am not sure many people (go players and non go players alike) are familiar with this forum and that specific topic. Even more so for non-English speakers.
So, even though there is a separate topic on this forum, I still wanted to present a variety of nice go equipment on a separate, dedicated website. As I am not familiar with copyrights by photographer and this forum, I thought I better first ask to make pictures available or copy them from here (without prior consent).
To illustrate my reasoning for a specific website: the photo album now attracks between 300 and 600 visitors a week. That's much more than I could have hoped for. The topic you mentioned probably is hardly viewed at all. Visibility counts.
Note for suppliers and sellers: no, it is not a webshop and I do not offer go equipment for sale.
