Wednesday is: Lurker and First Timer Day*
Most of us were toddlers once; same with lurkers... So, (DEFINITION #1):
LURKER: noun (verb: to lurk),
one who visits, perhaps often, enjoys visiting, but does not make
his/her presence felt, preferring to LURK in the shadows, tentatively
tasting the fruits, yet not plunging in headlong and participating.
Sound familiar? Read on... The reasons for lurking, like those for
toddling, are many:
Saturday is: Film Day
What more needs to be said about this stuff. Where would we be today if it wasn't for this invention? In appreciation and to continue our knowledge of film this is a day that we can show others what we can do with it. From the point & shoot cameras, 35/120/127/220/620/4x5/ 8x10, Polaroid, glass negs, paper negs, or just about any other process (if you let me know I will add it). If you have the technical info behind how you achieved the final result(s) so much the better.
Sunday is: Family Day
Post pics of your family, post pics taken by your family, post pics of other families. Or, post a family of pictures. (Thank you Stan Goldstein for the concept & description)
The contest starts Monday, December 1, 2020 at 00:00:01, local time and runs through Thursday, December 31, 2020 at 23:59:59, local time.
