Seeing publicity on SPAH in Milwaukee and having played harmonicas
65 years ago, my curiosity led me into reading this Digest.
Suddenly it's like a whole 'nother world. You guys have names for
all the things I used to do with my tongue and lips, and then some.
You even went so far as to number the holes so you could describe
how they work, and the subtle differences between them. A clever idea.
In message #4 of Issue 49, Marc Molina suggested to Randy Singer
that someone set up a flickr group to post members' photos and make
them accessible. Recently I've had considerable success posting my
sporting event photos on my friend Bill's website. Since Bill is an
experienced webmaster, I emailed him and asked whether he would be
interested in participating. Although he declined, his answer is
worth your attention.
"Interesting. Not something I'd want to get into (ie.
Webmastering / photo guru); not enough time to take on more at this
point. But it sounds like [Marc] might be on the right track
regarding posting photos for all the group to see. He mentions
flickr.com - that may be what they would want to do. Or something
like smugmug.com for posting photos. I don't know too much about
flickr, but smugmug I do. There is a small fee for the year to
house photos at smugmug, but they also offer a printing service as
well. That's what I would recommend to them."
It seems to me, someone in the club should just do it, and fast.
First get the approval of club management, then set it up and
either control or monitor it so it doesn't get abused. Do it on a
trial basis initially, then make changes as required. I know from
experience that interest in the photographs will wane in a few days.
