OK,, this may not work, but it's free so I thought we would give it a try. I have a paid Flickr online photo site. It's part of the AT&T DSL package for the computer at home or I wouldn't have signed up for the paid version as the free account gives you rather a lot of room to put photos online anyway. Anyway, short version I have unlimited storage, and Flickr is one of the better of this type of service. Soooo..I have created a "set" (rather like a folder on a computer) for our Orcadia group. Now we have a place for those that would like to share photos to put them. What made me think of it was the great pictures of everyday life on Graemsay that Sian showed us on her neighbors website. I am rambling.. right? So my suggestion is that anyone that wants' to share pictures of your part of the world,,anything you think the rest of us might be interested in..new grandbaby,,the deer that walked into your living room, (happened to a friend in Canada), the new post office,, sunsets, cactus,,snow.festivals in your area,,,dances at the local hall...you get the idea. No pictures of male strippers!!! <g>. You can email them to me and I will upload them to the group's set. Some folks are spooky about having their pictures online,,that's understandable,,so don't send those unless you are comfortable with it. Just FYI,,,when I caption pictures online I never use the persons real name anyway. Usually the nickname that the members of whatever group it is will recognize. The "testing" stuff yesterday was me making sure that I could get the link to this groups set to come through in the footer,,,look down at the bottom. You should see the link. That way we can remember where to find our photo album when we want to look at what someone has up,,or has just added. I "seeded" the set with a couple of pictures if you want to take a look. This is totally up to the group,,if no one wants to use it,,that's fine.those that do,,that's also fine. Charles..as far as I know you are the only professional photographer we have. I have set the options for this set to "All Rights Reserved".but I am not sure that protects the pictures from being downloaded..so if you chose to share a bit of your work (which would thrill the rest of us) be aware that you may not want to share anything that is marketable. In your case,,I would put your attribution and web address in the description block. Questions??? Good idea??? Bad Idea??? Thoughts??? R

Well, I for one love this idea. I like to see who the people I'm e-mailing look like - I sent my pictures already but I'm afaid they may be huge. Feel free to make them the right size.
