- Email: froggybottomphotofair@gmail.com — volunteers are standing by!
- Filenames must include username
- Include any Title & Text that goes with each photo
Nag, Penny, BrotherFeldspar and Andi have done so much to make this happen. BrotherFeldspar and Nag spent 1 1/2 hours in a chat room as we hammered out the details of the submission guidelines and the procedures that have made this work.
Andi has done an incredible job of creating the comment templates, processing and uploading all the photo submissions, monitoring the Informational Diaries, and the gmail account.

Sven only sent us one photo so he gets to be in the master diary.
Sven
Finland. The Floating World. They keep me out of trouble.
Sven must be d’vun in d’middle!
dam, I wish I’d said that..ha.
A photo of THREE retired gangsters would have ruined the composition.
All of you who organized this wonderful event for the BooTrib deserve a standing O, and a special O for Katiebird whose original idea it was. You make me want to keep putting on hats today just so I can take them off to you! I know this took a lot of thought and work off-line. How about listing the committee members so we can appreciate them?
I (finally) added credits to this diary.
It was always in my plan, but things were moving so fast this morning, it was afternoon before I could get it in.
And believe it or not, the photographs are still coming in.
I’m so excited!
pictures at this late point?
Usually I am pretty good at this HTML stuff, but you seem like you have it down….I don’t want to overburden anyone though —
If it is ok, do you want me to send all the pics in one email or separate ones?
Absolutely!
Send them along — if they can fit, one diary is fine, otherwise break them up. Just make sure the subject includes your file name.
I can’t wait to see them.
Am I doing everything right?
Thanks so much!!
to come but it might be an hour or two….is that ok?
Sure, we can always add comments!
Comin’ atchya w/ an email Katie…I can’t figure out to make the sizing thang work…
Many, many thanks and KUDOs to all involved…now to go see what’s here.
Peace
Everything looks great! I haven’t yet checked all the linked diaries, but so far they are fantastic. Toots to Katiebird & AndiF & Brother Feldspar, who are all virtual experts in HTML. Especially Katiebird, who not only came up with this idea, but worked incredibly hard to make this happen. I sure hope this is a regular feature in the future. The talent we have here is unbelievable, isn’t it?
I’ll be in and out today, will be checking in from time to time both today and tomorrow. My own diary will be ready tomorrow.
And you, too, Nag. You guys have done an amazing thing. It’s a first for the blogsphere, isn’t it? I hope it gets mentioned on other blogs so people will come and see what can be done.
What an absolutely amazing job you’ve all done. Thank you so much for all your hard work in organizing and arranging the fair. I am so going to miss these next couple of days. I’ll be looking forward to returning to see all the diaries!
An amzaing job guys. Kudos!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
And I just want to add that I really wish I could stay around in my own diaries responding and handing out the 4s. So, in lieu of 4s:
(((((Hugs to All)))))
Enjoy your Thanksgiving and we have your gorgeous flowers to soothe our eyes and souls while you’re gone.
And let me add my thanks to all of you who worked so hard to make this happen. Its wonderful and rejuvenating. Great talent – great people!
Advertised at DAILY KOS…
please pop over and make a comment! Or post a “tease” photo!
I made it the centerpiece of my weekly “Sabbath Time” diary at MyLeftWing and invited the <s>legions</s>handful of regular readers of that series over.
I’ve also go photos to share – hosting them on .mac for simplicity (135 photos….)
diary with links is here:

Off to enjoy more of other people’s work now 🙂
That was a really nice mention on the front page of MLF, siyitc, and now I see you’ve done it again today. So far everybody who has been referred here seems to have come away refreshed and happy. Not a bad affect for a site fully of peace lovers to have on the world!
Susan and Boo, this wonderful weekend wouldn’t have been possible without the way the two of you “run” this site. Run it invisibly, for the most part. There’s no heavy hand that squashes creativity, and you “let” (haha, right?) any of us run with our ideas. Most people probably don’t realize that neither of you had a hand in this art fair except to facilitate whenever the committee needed some help that only the site-masters could provide. Just like the Froggy Bottom Cafe, starting with Diane’s original idea, this photo fair has been entirely member-driven, starting from Katiebird’s original idea. That shows an amazing amount of trust and affection on everybody’s part. Thank you both very very much.
I wish I had paid a lot more attention to this this past week. I’ll see what I can do, will tomorrow be too late to send pics?
In fact, we’re hoping to have some new diaries for Sunday. We’ll look forward to getting them.
Not at all! There will be more galleries posted tomorrow, mine included. Email your pics to the froggybottomphotofair address, at gmail.com, later this evening or tomorrow morning, and we’ll include them in a gallery-diary.
As I mentioned in another diary, we’re going through our pics right now. Expect an email from me (gmail-wise) this evening or tomorrow morning.
Looks to me that the PhotoFair is well on its way to becoming a smashing success. My dial up connection is so slow today that it just took me over 5 minutes to load the BooTrib frontpage and over 3 to load the PhotoFair main diary. I can’t even upload my pics to my hosting service. It scorches me to know that my only option for broadband is sattelite ($$$$$). 🙁
Oh well.
The quality of the diaries I’ve managed to see so far is nothing short of phenominal!
I’m so glad we made the thumbnail/link decision. This would have been much more difficult if we were loading fullish sized photos.
Absolutely. Works like a charm, and we’re not messing with BooMan’s servers. (Just in a good way, I hope) 🙂
We’ve been front-paged at the European Tribune!
Mcinma on the Dock
And just sent it along — thank you all so much for doing this!
Thank you!! That was FAST!
New pic in my diary!
check it out!
Riverside’s riverside
Along the banks of the Delaware River ~ Tristate NY/NJ/PA. I’ve been here since 1974….it is mellow & only 2 hours from NYC.
This has been a delight. Thank you all fine photographers for this visual feast tonight.
I’ve done my share of organizing and I appreciate how much unsung work goes into making public events a success. Never mind something that has to be coordinated among a buch of people who meet only in text!
Thanks to Nag, Penny, BrotherFeldspar and Andi and of course — katiebird
Can’t wait till tomorrow!!
I second the above comments, as they were everything I intended to say too.
23 photo diaries! Amazing! I can’t run fast enough from one to the other, and I love reading all the comments, too.
Is there some way to get THIS diary on the reco list and get the others off? I know that people like the various collections and some are really incredible, but imho, there are way too many of them on the reco list — all we need is THIS one there….anyone?
Good idea. How about if those who recommended individual photo diaries would go back and unrecommend and we all recommend this one?
Er, can’t recommend this one unless we can find it on the list again. Could somebody repost this as a diary so we can recommend?
We’ve got links to this all over the place.
I’ve got a request in to do something.
I figured you guys were on top of things! Sorry to suggest a bad idea though, :).
Shhhhh, there are no bad ideas, only bad….
ah, never mind — you weren’t the first to suggest it!
Lol! You’re saying I’m baaaadd? Cool!
From the Tampa Bay area.
Another from the Tampa Bay area.
That is gorgeous! I have never seen a photo that captured better than this one the stupendous cloud formations in Florida. That contrast between flat and mountainous is so dramatic.
Thank you for the compliment. It was the only one of about 10 that came out right.
I want to take this time to simply say thanks to all the entrees. You have done us a great service here with your eye for the pictures you have entered. I have enjoyed looking at them all.
I must have one of Olivia’s tho..the white rose with the dew drops on it. I simply must have it!
You all do have such a talent and I admire you all…
This is absolutely incredible; wonderful idea and wonderful execution. Perhaps next time around I’ll contribute some urban landscapes. When is the next fair?
Not scheduled yet. Stay tuned!
n.t.
I don’t get it…
Some day katiebird will write a behind-the-scenes tell-all that will fully explain that remark and rocket to the top of the best-sellers list. It’s been a strenuous — tho very rewarding — project, so perhaps the prospect of putting on another so quickly is a bit daunting. 😉
In the meantime, even if you only have a couple photos, send them along to the froggybottomphotofair email account, and we can still include them today. If it is only a couple, we’ll add them to this thread. If it’s more, we’ll put them in a diary of their own for you.
No fair! I’m in gorgeous-picture-overload. Just got through reading/looking at several, and you’ve posted more.
If I look at too many at once, it’s like eating too much chocolate, or like trying to go through a huge museum in one afternoon. Can’t take it all in.
Can we leave these up for another day or two, even after entries are ended?
I wish we could find a way to post a more permanant link.
I’ve hardly had time to look at them.
I’m sending the link in an email to my friends who are photo freaks. I’m also planning on writing a blurb on my blog about it.
they’ll just roll of the front page.
What you could do is email yourself the url for this main diary. Then you’ll have access to all the individual ones.
I just want to thank all of you who did the work to put on this event. Thank you for being so kind and so open to new-timers. Gooserock thinks so much of all of you that I felt perfectly safe in sticking my toe into the waters myself. I appreciate all the entried, all of your work, and all of you.
Ten more beautiful shots have been added to knucklehead’s gallery so take a look.
