About The Secret Minimalists' Club

Ever wish you could take more pictures with less in them?

Well ... this is were people like you can get together and share their efforts.

But, this being a club, you must prove yourself before you can join in. Send a request for an invitation with a link to two or more photos that you think illustrate your greatest efforts at showing the least.

Rules/Guidelines for Members

1. Remember, we're all trying for less; please don't add excessively to the pool. In fact, don't add more than 1 per day - nothing personal; 1 is just such a minimal number.

1a. Photos which exceed the daily limit will be removed from the pool, possibly without notice. If you do recieve notice, it will likely be in the form of the tag, "please follow the rules when posting to the Secret Minimalists' Club pool" added to the offending photo. Photos which do not belong for other reasons will be mentioned in a thread specifically created for this purpose.

2. No doubt you place the products of your sweat and tears in the pool for encouragement. Remember that the other members do, too: be sure to comment on at least one (1) other photo in the pool for each one you add. This rule is pretty much impossible to enforce, but it is essential to making the Secret Minimalists' Club a success as a group; please help us out and be careful to observe it.

3. Part of the point of belonging to the club is to improve on minimalist techniques. This means that photos submitted to the pool are implicitly opened to constructive criticism. While this means some of the things other member say may not be the typical "wow, so minimalist!", or "simple and effective!" (though it just as easily could be), don't be rude, and don't leave pejorative remarks. Members found doing so will be given warnings, and if they continue, banned from the group.

3a. If you're not sure if it belongs ... read this article. If you still aren't sure ... add it anyway, and we can talk about it.

4. You are free to invite contacts to join the club. However, please remember: we're wannabe minimalists; only invite the ones you think would really fit in.

Woah ... time to stop. I've said way too much.
