TE book - Thread for selecting the themes to be included

[oochappan]

Thanks Cesar for your trust, do study first, let Mario, Jack, Rafal, Greg, Herve and all the others animate and give form to it ..... as a matter of fact I think that Mario deserves more the honour for all the efforts he made already so may I invite you Mario to break the ice starting the themes, I know you will have all our support, so let's go for it ?

[kikvel]

would you?

we shall start, I agree with Henk´s suggestion of themes for the moment

we can still continu the discussion regarding Jack´s approach but let us start the creation of themes!

thanks Mario!

K.
Please just put a warning that the original file hi res should be available, so low res pictures will not be included

Thanks Mario
the ice is broken
two themes were started


TE Book 2005 - Own Photos
and
TE Book 2005 - Other Members Photos

[mlopes]

I'll explain this team job, Two themes were created:
- One to post your own photos: TE Book 2005 - Own Photos
- One to post other members photos : TE Book 2005 - Other members Photos

Photos must respect the TE spirit "Learning about the world thru photography" reflecting themes like:

- landscape/nature
- portraits/people
- daily life/traditions/festivals
- decisive moments
- architecture/street/environmental
- other

RULES for your own photo:
- up to 5 owned photos.
- must hold the copyrigh.
- minimum size=1024k.
- at least 3 photos must be marked as "favorite".
- U can withdraw or replace photos.
- Preference to 2004-2005 posts.


RULES for other members photos:
- up to 5 photos from other members.
- request an written autorization from the owner.
- minimum size=1024k.
- at least 3 photos must be marked as "favorite".
- U can withdraw or replace photos.
- Preference to 2004-2005

Generic Rules
- Further on, photos will be placed in more especific and final themes according to our agreement
- Photos from others members should stay in "other members" theme, there can't be the same photo in both themes
- in the final stage the photos from the "other members" theme must be selected and treated: If the member is working activly in the project we just need to ask for a written permission... it the member is not active in the project we must invite him/her to join it.

Hope it's clear, any comment/remark/correction?

Thanks!

I only see a disadvantage in posting others pictures, you will never know of the hi res is available, unless you ask the owner of the picture

[mlopes]

it's true, but i'm expecting to get the top photos, or at least really good ones, so we must presume that the hi res is avaiable... 1024 can be printable...

But then i'm also expecting to get lots (i mean LOTS) of photos, we can swap one that the owner don't have the bigger file.

eachone of us will add 10 photos, in wich 6 are favorits, i think i've covered more or less all opinions. We will get a couple of hundreds submissions...

Have you've done the exam? shoudn't you be studying? ;)

1024 can be printable

Just for you in info, printing 1024 pixel at a resolution of 300ppi (pixels per inch) as it suppose to be will result of printed size 3,41 inches or 8,66 cm.

You will now also find the 'rules' and themes for suggestion of photos to the book on the webpage to the project:

* mass transportation (that would include airplanes, ships/boats, buses, trains, metros)

* let´s say: to separate 'major' themes, to introduce a theme related to colors/shapes (as we have here or here or here

this will give room to some more artistic images too.

does it make sense?

[kinginexile]

I think the themes should be the continents, or main geographical areas where the members come from. It's always my perception that this book is more about us as a community than about India, or Buddhism, or mass transporation, street life, etc.... This would give people an idea of both how we reach out to the world from our own localities, and at the same time, if a peruvian member has only shots of Peru, then it fits perfectly in the south Am. section.
I just do not think to put all shots on one topic, reflects the originality of our project, a wide international membership, instead of topics per chapters like many other books.

as usual, IMO.
