Second Flickr Meet aftermath

view profile

Inaz is a group administrator Inaz says:

Lets look back at the event, the second flickr meet-up.
There was quite a bit of enthusiasm, excitement and hype about this meeting. It was a good thing. Now lets look back at how it faired.

how did it go? who mopped the floor? who had the flood lights? was the coffee good? who paid?
were your expectations met? what were the outcomes? what promises were made?
Oh.. and the awards!?
lets talk about it....

Hey Inaz!
The 2nd Flickr meet up turned out to be great! I would say a very successful one! Assaribahaai Saabas to all those who organized the meetup! : )
Mr. Nasheed, Minister of Information, Arts & Culture along with Mr. Hussain Shihab, & some other officials (from the Ministry & the National Art Gallery) also participated.
Mr. Nasheed handed over the awards & guess who won the Flickr sexy icon award? Nausheyn!! Too bad you are out of the country man!
Mr. Nasheed & the officials promised that they would do everything in their capacity for the Maldivian Photographers & also suggested some ideas. It was awesome! Let's also hear from others who attended dhoa!

Here are the awards!
Tra la lala

Sacrifice: Muha
www.flickr.com/photos/muha/

For breaking the most number of cameras and equipment whilst on the field. Damage from sea waves, rain, flooding, sand and to falling... he has encountered many misadventures in his pursuit for excellence. Proving that good photos come at a high cost and steep risk...! Yet, Muha continues to shoot, unabated, and on a daily basis.
- - - - - - - - - -

cool name: No so Good
www.flickr.com/photos/notsogoodphotography/

An understatement, probably. His photos are anything but not good. But there is also something about his name that is catchy, different and humorous. It may be in Iujas (real name) nature to be fun and mischievous and present himself in a name full of irony. But his name... believe it or not, definitely is good.
- - - - - - - - - -

Success group: Mohlat
www.flickr.com/photos/mohlat/

There have been groups that have come, gone and forgotten. And groups that refuse to shine in the limelight. Not the Unique Maldives Group. From the start, this group has attracted and encouraged Maldivian photographers to pool in, share, and participate in various activities. First ever meetup, competitions, a marketplace just to name a few. And now this memorable award presentation. Hooray! We wish them continued success.
- - - - - - - - - -

Prolific: Jina.com
www.flickr.com/photos/jinaa/

Someone mentioned flood. But Jina's stream itself is a mix of family, faces, places of interest, sunsets and found objects that come in contact with his camera. And consequently contracted into his stream. The photos are probably on it's way to a permanent home at Jinas own website. But we enjoy looking at the numerous amount of photos in his stream. Currently at 1,000 ++!
- - - - - - - - - -

Generous: Maapu
www.flickr.com/photos/maapu/

Whether it be advice to newbie's, comments at friends photos or offering prizes in competitions... this man is pure pleasure to be around with. But he broke his own record when he singlehandedly offered to sponsor the coffee round at the First flickr meetup at Westpark, earning him this special award.
- - - - - - - - - -

Friendly: Ibrahim Firaaq
www.flickr.com/photos/ibrahimfiraq/

When Ibrahim Firaaq visits a contacts photostream he makes it a point that he leaves a memorable impression. Wherever and whenever. His good natured advice, admiration to beauty in others photos, and his comments at forums are all verbal signatures from a man who, everyone loves to be with. But a testimonial from Ibrahim Firaq... words that are simply undoable, by any other flickr member.
- - - - - - - - - -

Mystery: Dhonfuthu
www.flickr.com/photos/dhonfuthu/

The name may be familiar among flickr Members. And the photos may be from some known locations, but he earns his award for staying anonymous for so long, yet remaining so close to everyone... with his comments and words of admiration. It is no easy achievement mind you. Great to know you by your screen name, buddy.
- - - - - - - - - -

Gem: Thoii
www.flickr.com/photos/thoii/

Joined quite recently amidst much hype, and when flickr was flooded with many good work from other photographers. Thoii's work shone. And attracted huge crowds. It has potential... partly because she has gained enough in-depth knowledge about photography. With an array of quality equipment at her disposal... and due to accessibility to, probably the sexiest models, to play around with... her work is a promise of more good things to come.
- - - - - - - - - -

Pioneer: Tho
www.flickr.com/photos/tho

Tho has been a flickr member even from it's earliest days of inception. Way before flickr has been bought and hyped up by Yahoo. Thos pics are from various locations from around the World from his travels to neighboring Countries. But at the heart of Thos photos is his love for nature which keep inspiring his friends and viewers alike. Bravo for that.
- - - - - - - - - -

Early bird: Zuha
www.flickr.com/photos/zuhazahid/

Zuha may be young at 10 years of age, but she may not be new to cameras and photography. Friendly, outgoing and always with a smile... both when she is in front and when she is behind the camera. She already has a vivid life story documented on camera, which she is uploading and sharing with the World.
- - - - - - - - - -

Sexy icon: Naushyn
www.flickr.com/photos/nausheyn/

If an Icon tells a story about the person behind it... Nausheens probably rocks the male dominated flickr World. Different, attractive and seductive... it has a truly sexy feel to it. Probably one icon that lets viewers drool and dream about the physical features of its real owner.
- - - - - - - - - -

Awarder award: SHutter Pro
www.flickr.com/photos/adamnaif/

This guy is a winner in his own smart category. He is utterly cool, good natured, admirable and never leaves a stream without giving an award. A Wowzer with animations and graphics. He is more like a merry santa at Christmas. It is with great anticipation that people expect shutterpro to visit their stream with his bagful of fun awards.


Group photo is coming up. Nattu is busy downstairs processing.

TVM just mentioned it in the news


"Free lance photographarun ge evvumme, award dhee hadhan" shoa

>: (

They didn't even mention the word flickr, or what it was about. They just said evvejje oa 30 meehun, award dheefioa. Then they showed some random shots of us all, and cut out.

Gah.

The event was great :D Thanks to the people who organised it

*applause*

Was great to meet everyone and free coffee wasn't bad either :P

Miharbi says:

Yup free coffee, unlimited bottled water and a free ice cream ( cornetto style). Was very exciting and fun. For me Muha was the star of the whole event. Nice story about how he ripped his pants while trying to get a shot of a couple of kids on a jetty.

Cant wait for the next one. My congrats to all the winners.

PS, I am experiencing a very slow data transfer rate from flickr. Hows everyone else doing?

also a big thank u to fathu (nausheyn) for saying yes to read out all the certificates with such short notice.

Ahmed Zahid says:

Do we need yet another group?

Hey Flickr dudes...

We are planning to bring all flickr Maldivians under one umbrella. The purpose is simple.
Exposure... to a wider audience.

www.maldivesphoto.com is the web address we have chosen.
This is infact a shortcut to the flickr photo pool group www.flickr.com/groups/maldivesphotodotcom/

Please join this group and post the photo you think will represent you best, among other members.

The Ministry of Arts has suggested a number of ways, that will help market this name efficiently.

Hence, this Friday, there will be a short feature about this, on tvm.
Thanks to Mode and Mohlat.

-------------

One photo for 1 person please. Be fair.

Hani Amir  Pro User  says:

Thats great Zahid.

Sunie, I think we can post one photo that links to our other ones. We can change it if we want, but just keep one in the pool (well atleast thats what I think he explained)

EDIT: nevermind its in the guidelines when you join :P

"1. Members are allowed to post only one photo to the group.

Note: Members could always replace the photo with another photo if there is a wish to do so.

2. Only Maldivian Photographers are invited to join this Group.

3. Photos depicting nudity or violence is not allowed and anything else that violates the Flickr Community Guidelines."

Hey the URL idea is great, but I think its kinda lacking if it just links to a flickr group page. I think it would better if it were a proper gallery website, with proper links to the photos, with the members name clearly visible. Bring more of a showcase feel to it. With decent image sizes etc. There should be web devolopers and designers here more than capable of it. I remember a lot of people mentioning it as their background at the flickr meet hehe.

this indeed is a good idea. Zahid and gang... Salut to u guys for the work u r doing.

zahid: The meeting was very impressive. i talked to the HussainShihab on the night of the meeting (after the meeting) and he said that the Ministry was impressed with the group and how enthusiastic we were, and as u say, the ministry was gonna do all kinda stuff to help the group. He mentioned a few ideas he had too. I think the meet up really stirred the youth inside them;-) I mentioned my ideas too ( they were as in line with the ideas of the group ofcourse)
saabahey :D

about the dot com.. my view is, this is where to start. A gallery website would be cool, but it takes a lot of effort and time.. with a link to flickr the advantages are that its easier for members to post and for admins to maintain! So right now this is the best thing to do (yay.)
I may suggest, though, that to make it more "Maldivian" why dont we take a dot mv domain ... maybe dhiraagu will be interested in giving just the domain name.. maldivesphoto.mv for free... with a small pop-up ad from them.. and a redirection to flickr group.. no hosting needed just a DNS entry..

Zahid: What the short feature going to be about on TVM? Make sure they do it well! They always sometimes seem to mess it up.

And also i think we all should have a good flickr photographers page with profiles of the person and fotos...what do u think? Not only on flickr.

Thanks firaq... i would like to have another friend from addu. heheh, Infact we (our band) have plans performing in addu on the 31st july (organised by the unicef) still under "negotiations" i may add.
So as much as (or prob more...lol) i love performing in addu i am looking forward to all the great photographic oppotunities lies ahead (lol)
So even if i am not going to addu to perform i am still definitely taking a flight to addu because i have never been there and i wanna visit there to take some photo's and i think mode's gonna come with me too dho mode?

hey if u are coming to male' on the 29th thats tomorrow (cool!) i will probably see you tomorrow i will ask zahid and mode to give me a ring so we can all go for a coffee.
