Welcome to fOtofair2006!

The Second Annual Booman Tribune fOtofair is now open. Below you will find links to all participants' fOtodiaries. This list will be updated throughout the week-end, so check in often for new entries. Please recommend this Master Diary instead of the individual diaries; 4's and comments are encouraged in lieu of recommends.

Thanks to all and ENJOY!

fOtodiaries

Sunday October 29, 2006:

UPDATE November 1, 2006

The fOtofair2006 team would like to thank everyone for making this year's fair such a success. We are so excited to see such wonderful fOtodiaries, and it's obvious how many talented photographers frequent the pond. We'd also like to thank the participants over at European Tribune for making the fair a global event. If you haven't visited all the diaries, please take some time over the next few days (and weeks) to do so.

~~~~~~~

I'd like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the members of the fotofair2006 team: dada, AndiF, Nag, and Family Man. All contributed in different ways to get this event off the ground and running, and their involvment made the fOtofair a truly cooperative effort. It was a pleasure to work with them all! I'd also like to thank Boo for fostering such a rich community, and for supporting events such as the these. And last but not least, I'd like to thank katiebird, who came up with the photo fair idea in the first place, who coordinated the first ever froggy bottom photo fair, and who provided invaluable input which got us started off on the right foot this year. Thanks again everyone! -- olivia

How are we going to keep up with all the horrible news of the day while we are luxuriating in the beauty, humanity and humor of these photos?

I have to work today, but I'm already anticipating the treat I'll have when I get home.

Re: fOtofair2006: Welcome and links to fOtodiaries (4.00 / 3)

Quick question: can I still submit those photos here in a re-post? If yes, until when (e.g. 24h in which timezone), and should I upload the original-sized versions or are the 590px wide ones I have on picsplace.to okay?

by DoDo on Sun Oct 29th, 2006 at 03:48:52 PM EST
[ Parent ]

Hi DoDo (4.00 / 4)

590px works ... you don't need to upload the originals.

Why don't you just go ahead and post it here as you've done at ET ... so don't worry about the templates or comments. :)

I just want to take a moment to thank each ans every one of you. These diaries were as spectacular as they were varied. I love photography, but never had a good camera or the eye for it. Thank you for sharing yours!

After a weekend of enjoying all the beautiful photgraphy, my conclusion is that Lake Wobegon has NOTHING on the Frong Pond: Where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the photographers are above average.

Being very late, and very blitzed, I could not see: When will the fotofair diaries be taken down? Not for a few days, I hope! It was impossible to see them all this weekend, given many other things to do. Please leave them up this week, to allow for proper appreciation!

My hat's off to all who posted diaries, and to the busy behind-the-scenes folk to put it all together. Bravissima!

Re: fOtofair2006: Welcome and links to fOtodiaries (4.00 / 4)

The diaries are just like all other diaries -- they'll stay around as long as their owners leave them so you've go plenty of time.

Easiest thing to do is to hotlist this diary and then you'll have easy access to all the individual ones.

Glad you enjoyed it. BTW, in case you didn't know, Olivia was the mover, shaker, and main doer for fOtofair2006.

Olivia, dada, Andi, Nag, FamilyMan, for putting on the wonderful fotofair. Our thanks also to all the great BT and ET folks who showed us so many interesting and beautiful things. We had such fun visiting the fair, (and nearly as much fun almost making an entry, so say several lively 3rd and 4th graders).

And no matter what you said, we think you all started on your left feet, not your right ones! Well done.

Re: [UPDATED] fOtofair2006 (4.00 / 2)

I wanted to add my thanks to all who organized and participated in this year's fair.

I am seeing the world differently after looking at all the photos. The past few days I have looked more closely at the world around me - sunlight on leaves, shadows on buildings, taking some time to get close to berries...pausing to look and pay attention.

And all those photos! A soul food banquet.

Re: fOtofair2006: Welcome and links to fOtodiaries (2.00 / 2)

Last time I checked your lead photograph was a copyrighted image. I assume you didn't get permission to use it.

The web has made people very casual about use of other people's material. Leading blogs like this one need to uphold standards of fairness.

I suggest you substitute a picture of your own instead.
Almost my whole site is photographs, and I resent when someone "borrows" one without permission. If the practice becomes too widespread people will stop posting their work and/or draconian intellectual property controls will become the norm.
