About Group 365ish

Group 365ish is a Flickr group that will become one gigantic...or not-so-gigantic...mood vis-à-vis creativity study. The idea is to post, along with your photos, your mood at the time of processing your images.

The way it works:

1) Post your processed photo to the group (this is actually #3, but it's fairly important).
2) Post the number series for the photo - 1/365ish, 22/365ish, etc.
3) Post your state of mind, body, and/or psyche in the photo's description. Although Group 365ish encourages elaboration, it prefers the description to start with a simple adjective or two. Then...whatever you'd like to write from there. Your mood or state of mind may be completely independent of the image, but should describe your feelings at the time you were working on the photo.

Example:

14/365ish
Today - Rejuvenated. (Then elaborate if you'd like to do so.)

Group 365ish believes in the fluidity of groups and the "management" is relatively hands-off. The only strict photo rules are: be nice and be clothed...or keep your subjects clothed anyway. No nudity.

Also important:

This is not a photo-a-day project, thus the "ish" in Group 365ish. Ideally, it is a post-by-post project. If that comes out to 365 days for a member, great! If it is 342 or 379...that's great, too.

This is not a group about competition. There are all kinds of great groups out there for the competitive set, but this will not be one of them. Please give other members the courtesy of looking at their work and reading their entries, as well as posting your own.

This group is dedicated to showing one's mood during the processing of a photo. For that reason, unless it's a rare exception in one's otherwise processed set, unprocessed photos should not be posted. Also, photos that have already been posted in your Flickr stream should not be added to the group, since you've already done your work on them.

Other than that...always up for brilliant ideas and suggestions.

(The group name is a blatant rip-off of the really cool 365 Days group in which members are encouraged to post a self-portrait a day for 365 days. This group is devoted to a different kind of "self-portrait," but still...inspired by 365 Days.)
