-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to your online daily photo diary of the year 2010.
Please read the rules carefully.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rules:
1 - You have to create a topic which will become your diary.
Including your name in the title isn't an obligation but is much appreciated.
The topic creating message can include a self-portrait of you.
2 - You'll HAVE TO post one, (and only one!) photo for each day of 2010 in a NEW message each time, that will represent your day or its highlight.
You must write the date of the photo in your message.
You can add text if you wish, about your day, or not.
3 - The photo MUST be in MEDIUM SIZE;
4 - Please tag your photos with :
MDPD2010
and
MDPD2010/(month) (like MDPD2010/01 for January, MDPD2010/02 for February, etc...).
5 - Nobody else is allowed put a photo in your topic, but everybody can post text messages - comments on what you have written.
6 - You'll be able to post 1 photo/week to the pool and it has to the photo from your diary post.
7 - You can't create another topic - you are only allowed to create your diary topic . For any question, idea, or else, use the General - Questions & Answers topic.
8 - We are a friendly group here...posting insults or causing trouble will get you and your photos banned...Same goes for the TROLLS (you know who you are).
9 - All languages are welcome - but please bear in mind that the group will be administered in English, but do feel free to post in your mother tongue...the language of photography will tie all together.
10 - No biting, scratching, hitting...verbal abuse, acting troll-like or otherwise offending the gentle people here will get you banned tout suite.
11 - Photos should be "flickr-safe for all ages"...you should tag your more "expressive" photos according to flickr policy. We have had instances in the past where the flickr police stepped in...we like to have them visit our diary but we do not like intervention - SO...do the right thing.
Please follow the rules, this group is heavily administrated but in the last 3 years there have been very few instances where a spanking was needed (voluntary aside). We welcome you here for socializing but you will be shown the door if you misbehave!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To make things easier, and less painful, you don't have to post a new message with a new picture every day ON the day...you can batch your postings.
Let's say you don't have internet for 5 days. When you get it back, you'll post 5 new messages, with the 5 photos of those 5 days, in the right order.
There just needs to be 1 photo for each day and a new message for each photo.
Tip:
When visiting another diary to post a comment...leave a trail back to you: include your Diary name and URL in the last line of your comment and you will find many will use it to come and visit you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Philosophy:
This project you do first for yourself !
If you don't get that, you'll quickly stop...
People might have different reasons to do it....but do it for yourself - the discipline of taking a photo every day will improve your eye on the world.
See this as an opportunity, in one year, to look back at what was 2010 for you; what it was "made up of".
You'll have to take ONE PICTURE A DAY, every day, all year long... whatever your mood is, whatever your life is like, whatever you go through, whatever free time you have.
It's not easy, but a great challenge!
Hey - it only takes a fraction of a second most of the time!
Don't forget : you'll need to have a camera with you EVERY SINGLE DAY an entire year long. But if one day you don't have it, do not forget your cellphone might take pictures too!
Feel free to visit around and leave comments on others' topics.... it is a great way to meet people - you will be surprised.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no minimum quality for the pictures here.
Great shots, snapshots, high definition pictures or cellphones pictures...
Any subject too.
It's YOUR life. So, for example, (tasteful) nudity is not forbidden...but you should mark the photo as such - flickr is touchy about that.
Cheating on this project is easy. Please don't. Actually, nobody would care. But you'll know you cheated. And this project is for yourself. So you would cheat yourself.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some will cheat, many will start and abandon, some will start, abandon, and restart, and..., some will join during the year, some will do it really seriously, some will take really good pictures and others only snapshots, some will post only self portraits as others won't ever show their face, some will show only the interesting highlights of their days when others will reveal the boring day-to-day life they live (and maybe like), some will show only laughs while others might show tears too...
But in the end, it will be your year.
