About the recent Daily Deviations

You may have already noticed a difference in DDs (Daily Deviations) for photojournalism recently. They were given according to the plan Evan and I came up with; within the description there was specified exactly where from the DDs were given (the subcategories).

The plan (and Evan will enter this madness too when his internet gets back on its feet) for March (and the rest of 2009 if possible) was to try to give 2 DDs per month to each subcategory, so that they are all represented fairly. You can read more about this plan (and more DD-related info) in: [link]

This is a way to show the community photojournalism isn’t just weddings, sports or people… Like that? Go hump Evan A.K.A. ^estudio, then!

How to Suggest a DD!

our guidelines:

_{Note me OR ^estudio with "DD suggestion" in the subject line.
Post the note with the :thumbxxxxxxx: code.
Include your reasons if possible.
While all suggestions are looked at and considered, not all suggestions will make it as a DD.
Suggester will be notified if the DD is selected.
I may not reply all DD suggestions, but be sure I'll read each and every one of them!
There is always a queue in my message center. Please be patient.
DD shall only be awarded to those who haven't received any for the past 3 months.
You can also send suggestions to my partner in crime: ^estudio, but remember to only send ONE suggestion to EITHER of us so there's no conflict of interests.}


+ my guidelines:

_{DD shall only be awarded to those who haven't had one given by me already;
DD shall only be awarded if the photo amazes me. Along with others, this can be due to technical reasons, aesthetic or storytelling effectiveness.

What me and Evan also have in common is the ideal of keeping raising standards. Please read: DD-ing Photojournalism
