Timing is the issue. The 16th is likely going to be a busy day for me, so I'm not convinced I could make that work, though I'd certainly try.
Oh...and I should have mentioned earlier...it's "Sean". I meant to respond to an earlier post from Vince about my name, but seem to have let it slide.

Happy belated Birthday! 
How about a little bit later in the day? Some of the best shots come from sunrise/sunset lighting.
He has a name! 
I may be considered one of those "some" that thinks the 4G's have a fugly nose
The design of the 4G hasn't grown on me but it's still a TL! Regardless though, you're more than welcome to join. The more the better.
I'd be interested, though I warn you mine's an '09, which some (not including myself) consider to have the fugly nose.

That's why they changed it for 2012, I suppose. As I say, I like the nose, though I don't dislike the updated one, either.

Lol it seems like any time works for a lot of us, but what about the photographer? Again, some of the better shots will come from sunrise/sunset lighting imo. Especially since a lot of you guys have white cars, there won't be great contrast with the blinding light at two or three o'clock in the afternoon.
On a side note, recently changed out my third and fourth gear pressure sensors. I had my doubts but it did improve my shifts quite a bit. They were starting to get very rough especially when I was doing spirited driving but after the change it is certainly a noticeable difference. I'll probably do a 1x3 ATF drain and fill next spring since I already did a 3x3 not too long ago.

How is everyone ok with around 7 am or maybe around 9 at night. Im sure that should be ok with everyone, but sunrise i think looks awsome but so does sunrise.
Do we have a definite answer from the photographer?

Silence said he's bringing the photographer but he hasn't chimed in for a while. It seems more dependent on what time they can make it now since we seem to have a lot of flexibility.

Once that's settled, you would hopefully have maybe two time slots that you could throw out, and confirm the one that suits most people.
Least, that's how I'd do it. And I'm one of the smartest guys I know.

Sorry guys, been super busy lately and sick this last week. Zach will shoot for us tomorrow. If it doesn't work out, we can always shoot on another sunday. Later in the afternoon always works best I find (so 4:00?) in terms of lighting and such. Let me know how many we got, last count was 6 or 7(?) so I can get a price from Zach. As for location, I like the meet at Hawrelak park idea, as we can fan out from there to some cool locations.

Here are some pictures of the last 2 details of the season that my buddy and I did a few weeks ago.
First up was a phantom black rs4. The paint was hacked and being an Audi, it had some rock hard clear coat that took an extensive amount of compounding to look right.
50/50 shot of the driver door
50/50 of the driver side fender
Post detail
Next up was a relatively new crystal black silica brz. Improper wash procedures were done resulting in swirling throughout the paint.
Passenger door before
Passenger door after
Deep gouges suffered from a trailer parking too close
Wet-sanded
Compounded
Post detail
Black cars are a bit tricky to get looking perfect but once done right, they have the potential of looking like one of the best.

It was nice finally getting to meet a lot of you guys. I'm sure glad we didn't try to meet in the morning; the Terry Fox run would have made it really tough to even get in the park, let alone find each other.
