Photography DD Suggestions

=ian-x:iconian-x: reports, August 15, 2008
If you ready my journal, you've probably seen that I'm really happy with the results of my latest shoot, which happened to be my first in way too long.



As a result, in my journal I jokingly suggested that people consider nominating your favorites for a DD with the appropriate gallery director such as ^arachnid15, ^opioid, ^Ghouldaddy, or ^Helewidis ... ;) That got me thinking a bit more about how easy it is to forget to make suggestions regularly. It's not quite as easy as clicking the favorite button, so I think we neglect it.

I think it's important to remember that the GDs can't possibly find every amazing photo on the site by themselves, and rely on us to make suggestions.

If you love a photo, don't just hit that "Add Favorite" button. At the very least, add a comment, which just takes a second longer. If you think it's really astonishing, send a note to the gallery director nominating it for a DD. It really doesn't take that much longer, if you get in the habit.

Photography Gallery Directors:
General Photography- `equivoque, ^Staged & ^rhapsouldize
Abstract & Surreal & Fetish- ^opioid
Animals, Plants & Nature- ^KevLewis & ^SheTakesPics
Artistic Nudes- ^arachnid15 & ^Helewidis
Commercial, Glamour & Pin-up- ^Ghouldaddy
Conceptual- `Pete-B
Horror/Macabre- ^Katerina423
Photojournalism- ^estudio
Street Photography- `Obsidian-Fox

I have had the honor of suggesting a few images that were selected as Daily Deviations. To see most of them all in one place, check out my Collection at [link] . Hopefully more of my suggestions will be picked up, and I can keep adding to that collection.



I was lucky. The Fetish GD ^opioid discovered my DD right when I uploaded it. Most people don't have that kind of lucky timing. Help them out by pointing out their works.



Thanks,
Ian X.

A few rules of thumb...

- Don't suggest the same image to two GDs
- Don't suggest an image that already had a DD
- Don't suggest someone who has had a DD in the last 90 days
- As long as an image fits a gallery it can be suggested, even if it's currently in a different gallery
- You can suggest a gallery rather than one image
- You can suggest a bunch a time, but don't overwhelm the GD

I see things like this a lot, but mostly from you guys on the AR team. Being bored at work is a great time to turn thoughts like this into something productive. ;)

I have updated my Collections and Feature Folders in a way that other people might find helpful, to streamline their nominations...

For images that I have already nominated (starting with ones this week) you can check out this [link] . This also serves as a "the best stuff I've seen recently" collection.

For images I am organizing to nominate, you can check out this [link] . This lets me double-check whether the image has a DD, whether the artist has had a DD recently, and organize the images by who I should nominate them to.

My current process is that I can add something as a Favorite if it is Great, but if it is Astonishing, I can add it right to my Potential Nominees collection. Then later I can nominate it. If it gets the DD, it goes into the gallery of successful nominations.

While I was doing that, I also created a more narrowed collection of my favorite images of my own (as my Featured is pretty broad). This is now at [link] .

Also, see my feature article, with all of the suggestions I have made recently. A good reminder that DD suggestions are about recognizing excellent art!
