I hate them. Secondly, I suggested one picture at a time, because I thought that several pictures would distract from a meaningful discussion about the relative merits of a shot. But, perhaps comparison is useful. Thirdly, my suggestion for a photo a month was based upon the volume of shots that people submit to the LUG community to view on any given month, and on my assessment of how many messages such a forum might receive. Finally, the idea to make it a LUG thing is because we are interested in photography with Leicas (although it should of course be perfectly acceptible to submit pictures taken with any type of camera) and to add more photographic content to the discussions on this list. I'm sure that the primary function would not be educationary, but social, just like the list at large. Anyway, all that taken together, my suggestion would be for two photos a week by the same photographer (contrast and compare; greater rotation), placed on a non-commercial site. There would be no limitations on subject matter, style, equipment, or content, only on size of image. Photo's would be posted anonymously, the person who has submitted them would then be free to either disclose who they are or not. Other suggestions? If not, I'll whip something up over the weekend as an alpha version and we'll see where it goes from there.
