365 Days

can you point to which ones they are? I try to stay on top of it, but the bigger the group gets, the harder it is for me (and Alex and Jen) to police it.

There was a pic of a pig in the pool earlier, that don't seem to relate to 365

The pig picture and the the other picture that Qathi found (a skate boarder who wasn't the poster) have both removed from the pool.

I don't think this is a self-portrait: Envisioning

it isn't and it has been removed. Thank you.

Hilarious thread title....

A new floater has risen to the surface.

unless the person is somewhere in the blur?

LOLOLOLOL- I have to say i do the take the 365 shots everyday but then get so caught up in everything else that I forget to post to the group, and yet I post them in my 365 set. Let me check the ditz factor. I am 2 days behind, do I catch up by posting the the 2 lolly gaggers or not?

The one Jim mentioned has been removed.

Catgotti1, yes, you are free to post the pictures and catch up.

Thank you I shall do so immediately!

that could be an idea for a 365 picture

the 365 pool boys.

a shame as that was a nice photo. But it has been removed.

along those same lines:

removed...

I don't think this one fits the bill either
www.flickr.com/photos/erdalito/263719513/in/pool-365days/

it looks like its a self portrait but since it was taken in december of last year, I think it doesn't qualify. It has been deleted.

or this one

and this one

or....

those are all fine. What's wrong with them?

yeah, i agree with mav....i can't find anything wrong with those....

I believe Qathi is pointing out that the "taken on" dates dont match the posting dates.
This could turn into a quagmire rather quickly.

ah... well in artbandito's specific case, she's been doing this project for over a year already. I found her and invited her to the group post starting it. So she'll have some photos that predate the group. Since they're in the spirit of the group. I don't really have a problem with it. But yeah, as time goes on, and we get more members, it is harder for me to keep the group clean. I'm working on it though. And I appreciate everyone's help.

urgh! this is going to be frustrating....see...we should've stopped the limit at 365 members ;-P just kidding... but i am finding it difficult to keep up with the amount of active members...but as long as it's in the spirit of the group and people play by "the rules"

i have the idea that these things filter themselves out... after all people post to many groups to get responses, if the post and it doesn't belong here, who will look? just a thought...

yeah, wim but sometimes it's just that the photo was not taken anytime near todays date. earlier i removed an image that was taken (according to the details provided on flickr) in February 2004. I made a comment to the person in question first before removing them....they have since reposted it and said that there is a problem w/ the date in their camera...who am i to question it any further...so it's back :) it's a good picture too.

I can't see how this one is a self-portrait, but I could be missing something somewhere

I was thinking the same thing about the Avery one...it is adorable but is it a self-portrait? That kid is amazing if it is!!

LOL jazzylolo

I'm thinking someone forgot to read the rules for our group.

Or perhaps they were speedily adding the photo to multiple groups and they misclicked. And then didn't read the confirmation notice that it gives you . . .

in any case, I have deleted it from the pool.

This is a lovely photo, but considering he doesn't seem to have any other photos in the 365 group and numerous complaints within the comments of that photo that it doesn't belong in various groups that he submitted it to, I'm guessing it doesn't belong here either.

Something tells me this one doesn't belong.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that this shouldn't be here.

jinx, amanova.
buy me a coke.

come on! You can't jinx me posting 10 minutes later than me, that's not a jinx, that's just you lagging behind!

;-P

I wrote the comment, but got an incoming email just as I was about to make sure my hyperlink worked. When I returned ten minutes later and posted it, I then saw that you had also caught it.

That's my story. I'm sticking to it.
Don't worry about the coke, though.

deleted the baby and newspaper shot.

I guess I'm on the war path today: how about this one?

deleted...

Floaters?

ah, lazy-lightning...i was removing them when you posted this thread :)

deleted.

Semi-floaters? Looks like PidderBear has 3 different Day 7 pictures in the pool. Maybe just needs a reminder that he should only be posting one picture per day to the pool.

www.flickr.com/photos/pidderbear/272039561/

warned... I'll give him some time to decide which to delete.

piddlebear has opted to leave the group rather than put up with my "tyrannical" rules. He asks that I extend his thanks to the rest of the group.

LOL. yeah, how dare you have a 'one photo per day' rule in a 'one photo per day' pool?!

Um . . . weird.

did you mention that he could post small sizes of 2-3 in his comments section as an alternative to posting 3 images in a 1 image a day group? doesn't matter...bye bye piddlebear.... i don't even know who you were.

honestly I didn't say much of anything. I didn't even delete any of his pics. I just asked that he pick one of the three to use fro his daily photo and he took offense at that and said he was within the spirit of the group and didn't want to be a part of it if I insisted on enforcing tyannical rules. Then he deleted himself. I responded and told him he was welcome to stay or leave but that the 1 pic a day rule is there so as to give us all a sense of community, being on the same project. Without it we would simply be another self-portrait group. Of which there are many.

It was just funny, as of all the people I've warned, or even deleted, that was the first real complaint back. And I think I was more than fair with him.

In any case, I'm sure there will be more.

totally fair...and totally ridiculous on their part...oh well...such is life right?!

Oh goodness....my turn:

If I'm wrong about either one, I apologize.

I like this one...but it's got comments from 3 months ago...

LOL. yeah, how dare you have a 'one photo per day' rule in a 'one photo per day' pool?!

Too funny L-L...yes, how dare you indeed. :-)

These were posted all around the same time. Admins be the judge.

Taken today, kind of liked this one but not sure if it is technically a self portrait but I'm willing to give artistic interpretation a stretch.

thanx everyone... I have deleted all of the most recent mentioned images, except for the sketch by altframes, as technically that qualifies.

I'm quite sure:

Edgar Allan Poe.
Edgar Allan Poe. (Same name diffrent shoot)
Edgar Allan Poe. (You guessed it, new shoot again).

1) Are not one shoot.
2) In no way a self-portrait.

removed... though I really liked those.

I'm gonna guess this one doesn't belong here lol

Personally, I think it's not really within the context of the group. But, it is the way he chooses to represent himself today.

In the past, I've seen other cartoons and drawings for the day's entry. So, it's nothing new. But, I think it's stretching the rules of the group, a wee little bit much.

I could just as easily take a picture of the word UNEMPLOYED or ADDICTED and say that represents me for the day.

actually, we had the conversation a while back and it was specifically decided that a drawing of one's self was ok so long as it adheres to the rules that one would otherwise use for a self portrait photograph. I'd argue that that depiction of him is just as much him as any of my heavily photoshopped pictures of me are me. I even said at one point that I might do something similar.

So I think we should allow it.

I agree that we should allow it, but only if it was constructed by the person himself. And since the text says "They didn't have . . .", I'm doubting that he created that image. I could be wrong though.

Ok, I found the website that he used to create it: Doll Wizard. Now I'm not really sure which way I would lean . . .

eh... its a tool. I still say its ok. I mean, I don't want the group to degenerate into 1000 people making computer pictures of themselves every day. But I don't want to judge either. If someone sculpted themselves out of clay and took a picture of it, I'm pretty sure I would allow it, so I can't judge if they sculpt themselves out of electrons either. If there's one thing I hate, its when someone comments that my pictures aren't real because they're photoshopped or that one of my models isn't really pretty because she wore makeup. The entire reason I started this group was to see what different directions they'd go in with the project than I do. In order to keep the group directed, I feel like there have to be some rules (its gotta be you, only one pic a day, you have to be the artist), but I really want to keep it as loose as possible.

Occasionally I have had others take my photos. In those cases since I've joined the group, I've skipped posting them since they didn't meet the self-portrait criteria. So I fully agree with that qualification...

Shoot, only one a day? I've messed up a couple of times ... but only because I missed a couple of days (didn't take any pics at all) and felt guilty :)

Maybe he's there, in the dark somewhere, but based on the number of pools this photo belongs to, I'm doubting it.

deleted.

Interesting portraits though

There's a wonderful warning thing we use over in Cream of the Crop. It puts a w visible to admins under the photos and allows you to remove, warn, delete and if you wish, ban members all in one fell swoop. Saves a lot of time with multiple posters. You can also make up a standard message or two or three and just click on it when you delete and warn. i think it's from greasemonkey, but could ask if you can't find it. Send me an email out of the discussion if you need to know.

Dang, you're quick soam! I was just about to tattle and you beat me to it.

Damn...missed it by thatmuch.

I see why they put this one in (payday IS important after all!), but I think they need to read the pool rules.

it is off topic but for now I am leaving it. I have warned her however.

I don't think this belongs here

I think it's him though. Just an infrared version of him. Kinda cool looking.

yeah, I think that's an infrared picture of himself.

Oh i see it it now, just had to look closer : )

ok... I think we're up to date with these removals.

as for frail...i sent a message reminding to please post only one per day in the pool...and to choose the one he wanted...i've not checked back.

it appears that only one of them is in the pool anymore... I'm surprised he didn't make a collage of all of them. It was an interesting idea.

This is a picture of the poster's friend's feet, I believe. flickr.com/photos/j_rabbit/282730860/in/pool-365days/

deleted. Thank you

Looks like this one...

...and the two after it (hard to be 100% sure about the last two I suppose, but...)

I'll second the obviousness of those three daverexwood. Two of them are clearly not of the photographer. The crowd one might be PS in?

How about this one?

She acknowledges the fact that she's not in it, but she made an effort to photograph someting that represents her.

She could have put her hand on the keyboard . . .

But "find the reflection of the photographer" is such a fun game.

Yeah... or she could have put her feet up, or a picture of herself in the monitor screen, lots of fun stuff could have been done. And there are actually flickr groups out there for pictures of people's desks...

I left that one, but with a warning to make sure she is in new pictures.

I don't SEE anyone in this picture.

Taking pictures of something that is near and dear to you, whether it be your planner, your desk, or a bottle of alcohol is in no way a self-portrait. I feel that the rules for this group are quite clear.

If somebody wants to start up another group that showcases various objects that represent the photographer, then all of these pictures would be great additions to that group. But they don't belong here.

there is one... actually... maybe I should start pointing that out. But anyone who wants to do a project of other objects or people or whatever, should definitely look into 365 Days of Something.
