Update [2006-9-16 0:32:14 by fOtofair2006]:

Thank you everyone for voting, volunteering, and expressing interest!

Based on the results of the poll, the date of fOtofair2006 will be October 28-29.

We'll post a dairy next week with more details, including diary guidelines and photo hosting sites, so stay tuned!

(Original diary below the fold)

OK, all you photogs out there...It's fall again and time for the second annual FrOggy BOttom fOtofair.

The leaves are turning, the gardens are starting to go dormant and thoughts have once again turned to...what am I going to do now?

Well, if we may be so bold as to suggest, what if you gather up all those great photographs that you've taken, and those that'll happen in the next few weeks, and share them with the rest of the Pond Dwellers.

A group of your friendly neighbourhood frogs have been thinking about it, and with the help of BooMan, Dada, Olivia, AndiF, and Katiebird...the mastermind behind the great inaugural version...have a few ideas.

Follow along and let's get started...

Last years Fair drew over 30 submissions from Tribbers world wide; given that the site membership has more than doubled, we hope to receive many more this year. But the first order of business is to gauge the level of interest here, and at our sister site ET, and settle on a date.

Two potential dates have been identified; the first: October 28 - 29; the second November 18 -19. Submissions from those who need help with posting and creating Diaries would be required a week earlier so that volunteers can do the coding work required to make sure that they're all included. This will, by necessity, have to be a hard date as late submittals created a bottleneck last year.

Further information on photo hosting sites, templates, HTML primers, questions and assistance, submission requirements/guidelines will be next.

So sign in, sign up, let us know if you're interested in participating and/or volunteering, and show us your best work.

Please Recommend this Diary so as many people as possible may see it.

Thanks

Re: Hi yO! (4.00 / 11)

Hey dada,
I took this the other day while I was test driving a part I manufactered.
I threw a saddlebag on for the shot & only realized I put the wrong one on. I was just about to go take a few shots down the road, but checked my mail & linked to this diary. I`ll respond later but you & your friends might enjoy this.

Hey there Knucklehead! (4.00 / 5)

I just saw a comment you left at my blog last month about the Blue Butterfly delphiniums ... sorry I never noticed it and got back to you sooner. I think you'd have no problem growing it where you are, but not knowing exactly your growing zone, I can't be sure, but I think it should be hardy for you. You do grow some of the other things I have (e.g. kniphophia) so I'd give it a shot if you really like it.

If you want more details on it, email me at the address below and just put something in the subject line w/your name so I can release it from the spam catcher. I'll get back to you with more details.

Great to see you around! I've been scarce for a while here due to overwork and sloth during down time. How are those aquariums doing?

I will be sending my mom this way, to participate (once I can get her set up with a UID). She photoblogs at A few of my favorite things.

Actually, she was very inspired after viewing your flower shots, changing the way she approached her own work.

Below is a shot she recently posted on her blog...

Since I missed it during my pre-BT lurking mode last year, I'll throw my lens in the ring and see what I can shake out of my archives and the camera! Guess I'd better get busy as the rest of this month and most of Oct are slamming me with overwork as usual.

I think it's a great community idea, and may be just what we need to brighten the pre-election dark days of trepidation. Who knows, maybe it will brighten already bright outlooks, which is the option I'd prefer. :-)

Re: fOtofair2006 (4.00 / 11)

THANK YOU ALL!!!

I really, really enjoyed last year's photos. One of the best features was that it wasn't a competition - thank you for not doing something that involved judging or rating.

Being neither a photographer nor able to do squat with posting, I am encouraging everyone who can participate to do so. Please share.

I spread my photo viewing out over time. Read about something horrible - savor someone's photos - read something depressing - savor someone's photos - etc. The photos provided balance for me.

Thanks again for those of you willing to take this on.

Re: Wonderful b2! :) nt (4.00 / 9)

Hi Olivia,
Last year, when I first came over here as a direct result of seeing the Photofair being promoted on that other site, I was ignorant as to how to post images. With the kind help of Katybird to whom I just emailed my images, I was able to interact with the great people on this site. The rest is history.
I still don`t know how to post images properly here, except through "Image Shack" which gives me different options, the only one which you know I use [a link to the image] is really the only option I know how to use.
First of all; is this the best way for me to post images. Can I post three or four links in the same comment. Should I post thumbnails with links & if so, how?
Secondly, if you`re going to extend invitations to people who may not know the " how to", will you be posting instructions or suggestions to
aid people in being able to have their images proudly displayed.
Meeting all the wonderfull people here & spending the last year listening in & interacting is a result of accepting last years invitation & is the thing I would want all invitees to experience, if they haven`t already.
Thank you.

way cool that the photos brought you here; and you've posted a lot of beautiful stuff! I couldn't do any of this until the fair last year either...and let me tell you, if I can do it...you'll have no problems...:{)

we're going to do a series of diaries...probably one a week with guidelines/requirements, HTML tips, photo hosting sites, templates, How To kinda stuff, Q&A, etc....as part of that we'll have an email set up soon for submittals and questions and such.

And if there's anything you want help w/ give a shout out in the cafe/lounge...lots of folks will help out...kinda what makes this place special, imo.

Looking forward to more of your stuff too...always a pleasure to see.

Re: Yo Head! (4.00 / 6)

Thanks dada
I`ll see you over at the lounge whenever. I`ll be taking some more shots of my Knuckle in the next few days & send them on. I`m restoring my little sports car right now & I`ve been fixing & cleaning up my cars & work trucks. Here`s my little car. It`s a 1974 Jensen Healy.
In 1981 the neighbor`s kid owned this car. A few years later he moved away & put the car in the garage. His dad, my neighbor, died & since then & to this day I take care of all her house repairs or whatever she needs. For years I told her I wanted to buy the car but she insisted her son would never part with it. It kept getting abused more & more with boxes packed on top of it & mice eating the wiring. I kept telling her the car would end up being destroyed. Two years ago she called [ she does this often] out of the blue & told me her son was surprised she had not given me the car for all the work I had done for her. [I never ever charge her]. I have the car running perfectly now & in a year I should be done with it.

Re: You've got some nice machines (4.00 / 3)

You are right, Dylan had two properties here in Malibu. One was on
Point Dume, a point of land about 3 miles from my house ^& which I can see from here. The other property is in the hills here about 15 miles from my place. My friend, Dylan`s neighbor, had a 1000 gal. water tank installed but before they could weigh it down with water, a wind storm
{Santa Anna] blew the tank about a 1/4 mile down into Dylan`s orchard.
I`ll find out if he still owns these properties but I think he had left the Point Dume one to his wife [Sarah?].
The Point Dume house was unusual at the time it was built. It`s topped with a few onion domes. I`ll go take a few pix if you want.

Great Idea! I was thinking I might communicate entirely in photos until my CTS gets better.

OT MythMother, the store that I'll be working at has incredible nutritionists and wellness people... I could ask them if they know of any homeo/organic solutions to Carpal Tunnel for ya... if that's okay by you.

yes please okay! (4.00 / 4)

met with a homeopathic physician today and he thinks the cause might be physical and a visit to a chiropractor adjusting an out of alignment vertabrae in my neck might do the trick.

i hope he is right and will look for a reputable chiropractor to help me out. he also will prescribe a homopathic remedy for my situation.

i also got a referral to a neurologist so they can do a study to identify exactly which nerves are causing my hands to go numb.
