Theme portfolio resurrection:

		USENET Theme Portfolios

By request, we are restarting the formerly popular rec.photo Theme Portfolio 
program.  This is a means by which rec.photo readers, their friends and 
relatives may share photos with each  other.  Participation is open to 
everyone; this is not a special club or clique.  Selection of Themes is by 
democratic process: all Themes are nominated and voted on by rec.photo 
readers.  You may submit photos for any Theme which appeals to you; regular  
participation is not a requirement.

Here is how it works:

On the first of the month, I will post a request for nominations for the 
next Theme to rec.photo.  Everyone is welcome to send in  nominations.  
You will have ten days to submit nominations. (Email would be preferred, 
but USMail communications will be possible in the near future.)

On the tenth of the month, I will post a ballot.  You will have ten days 
to submit your vote.  Again, email is preferred.

On the twentieth of the month, I will announce the winning Theme  and set 
a deadline for submission of photographs for that Theme. The deadline will 
typically be the last day of the following month. This should be a 
sufficiently long time to make the photograph,  get it processed and 
printed and send it to me - about 5-6 weeks.  

Digitized pictures are also a possibility which I will consider (depending 
on the volume and cost).  If you are interested in submitting digitized 
images, please send me Email to discuss the idea.  

Upon reaching the deadline for submissions, the portfolio will be 
organized, a mailing list compiled with names listed in the order  in 
which photos were received, and the portfolio will be sent to  the first 
person on the list.  Upon viewing, the recipient should swiftly send the 
portfolio on to the next person on the list (and, optionally, post 
comments to rec.photo.)  

Notice that this is a two-month process.  I will start the process every 
month on the first of the month (this one is startig one day late), so 
there will be twelve over-lapping   Theme Portfolios organized during each 
year.  In order to keep them straight, they will be numbered 93-1, 93-2, 
93-3, etc. Please pay attenion to the number when reading announcements, 
and refer to the number when corresponding with me.  

Each official announcement should have all of the instructions  necessary 
for that step.  If you have questions and wonder what to do, read the 
announcement.  If you still have questions, please feel free to write me 
and I'll try to answer them (and to clarify the announcement for next 
time.)  You may participate in any step, or steps, that you wish.  If you 
did not vote, but want to submit  photo, do it.  The Theme Portfolios are 
for all of you.

Submit nominations, and other notes, to:
