This is a good way to group together a lot of people's works.  During my
brief browse I saw where you could post a comment but did not see any
posted.  Do they get sent back to the photographer or did the pictures I
looked at just not have many comments.

I think announcing a new body of work or individual picture is worthwhile
here.  It encourages people to look.  I do like those sites where the
comments come after the picture.  Keeps everything together.  Maybe somebody
could post a template for a site like that.  People could then use it or not
as they see fit.

Looking at pictures does require a bit of attention and thought, plus time
while the files download over a slow phone line.  If you add all the other
topics that get posted here it takes a serious committment of time and
energy just to keep up.

I do have to say that one of my favorite things about this list is the
opportunity to look at other people's pictures.
