I’m going on vacation for a week so I’m converting this diary to a discussion thread for the Art Fair. I think the guidelines for the fair are still very much up in the air.

So let’s talk about:

  • Do we want categories?
    • What categories?
  • How to we make the fair fun for low-bandwidth frogs?
  • Do we set formal guidelines for photo dimensions?
  • Is it possible to judge food entries fairly at a virtual fair?
  • Do we want to judge entries (we do have the ability to RATE built into the system)
  • Any other topics that I haven’t thought of in my confused state

I may be able to check in through a dial access connection (or hotspots) while I’m gone. But it might be next Sunday before I get back. Could someone host next Saturday’s Cafe for me?

I’ll miss you all!

Froggy Bottom Amateur Photography Fair
Coming Soon!
Announcing the 1st Annual Froggy Bottom Amateur Photography Fair.  It will take place one weekend in September, and be open to all members of our froggy community.    

By setting a date that is a month or so away, we have time to sort through what we’ve got and convert paper photographs to digital. If anyone doesn’t know how to do that, we can share tips here. I think you can have photos scanned at most places that develop film. Or you might have a friend with a scanner.

I’m thinking that we would have a main diary that holds links to the Display Diaries. That main diary would be the one we would want recommended.

And each of the display diaries would have maybe 20 photographs (with a bar linking that page to all the other pages). The photos should be at the main comment level. But comments could be made under each one.

After we reach the max size for a page would we want a poll to vote on the favorite photo for that page? Would we want a best of show? Best of various categories? Would it make sense to have pages focusing on categories of photographs — if so, what categories

Would we want to allow for slightly larger photographs just for the fair? Do we want to define any other standards for the display of the photographs?

Take a moment to let us know how interested you are!

If you have suggestions for other Froggy Fairs, please suggest it today (or tomorrow, or….)
