I agree monthly is too much for openers. Somewhere between 2 and 6 times a
year works for me. If we get really rolling, and solve all the logistics,
then monthly may be doable.
>* I do lean in favor of 'themes' as I think it makes it easier to 'vote'
>for an entry in the context of a theme.
Yes, most definitely. Themes general enough to include all. So "Fall
colors" may not work but "Nature" would.
>* All entries should identify camera and lens used. Film, aperture and

Agreed.

Only if mounted to a single digit OM <g>. This was my comment, but I'll
readily agree to such a constraint if this were the group's choice.

I can do html and scanning of negs or slides. FTP works to anywhere :)

Aww shucks. Maybe a table dance in his tutu????
