We Need Your Help!

Journal Entry: Fri Oct 12, 2012, 8:35 AM

Small and Simple needs you help!


Sometimes life speeds up around you, and you loose track of time. All of you lovely admins here are doing their very best but we don't have enough time to keep up with all of you beautiful submissions. We don't want these to expire, nor do we want to discourage you from submitting to our group.

So what do we need from you?
We need you to vote! We need photographers who know and understand the basics of photography to join the S&S admin team to vote one incoming submissions.
You can be a hobbiest, a pro, an amateur or a student. We don't care if you picked up a camera 2 days ago or 10 years ago as long as you can show though your work that you know   the basics of photography and that you are able to vote to uphold our standard.

Without your help we will be forced to lower submissions in order to be able to keep up.

So what does the job entail?


:bulletblack: logging into to DA and heading over to our admin section to vote on incoming submissions
:bulletblack: participating in admin discussions when we have them
:bulletblack: providing member feedback when they request it
:bulletblack: to decided whether photos fit in our gallery and with the groups mission to appreciate the small things.

What do I mean by understanding the basics of photography?


:bulletblack: to be able to distinguish between out of focus and in focus photos
:bulletblack: To be able to recognize good use of composition and colour
:bulletblack: to see creative merit in photos, and understand the correct way to "break the rules"

Interested?


Please note =SaraJ3an with your subject line saying "Small and Simple admin position" and I will get back to you.
I will be choosing those who have a gallery that demonstrates that they understand photography basics, as it is important to me that we uphold our current standards.
