Some of you might know that I already tried this, but apparently I didn't do a good job. The circle jerk is a collection of /p/s best photos that will eventually either be distributed online via Mediafire or a torrent (if its big enough), to help inspire other photographers to not suck.If you wish to be in the collection, email me your best 15 (or under) photos, or links to your photos.Proxiee@gmail.comI will keep this thread alive for as long as I canfor related post, look here>>1139011
There's no point if each photographer gets to pick his own photos.The 'inspiration' folder type stuff is to include, you know, only GOOD photos. What will you do with the shitty photos you receive? Include them out of fairness? I don't want to waste hard drive space on photos people are themselves hyping.. and hard drive space is cheap
any resolution, color space, dpi, etc. requirements, or suggestions to keep things standard?
>>1141097keep it to /p/s standards. 1000x longest side, 2000x for panoramas >>1141092then instead of thinking of it as an inspiration folder, think of it as /p/s official portfolio. We can show it to moot to prove we are not a total waste of space haha
>>1141131>moot sees your portfolio and believes this board isnt a waste of space>moot goes over to /p/ and changes his mind very quickly
>>1141140there is actually a picture floating around of moot posting on /p/ calling it a waste of space haha
>>1141146i'd be interested in seeing it
>>1141156so would I. in the years ive been lurking here, ive seen it only twice
>>1141087selecting _just_ 15 is a pretty hard task to start with
e-mailed
>>1141202great stuff! Thanks!
also emailed.
>>1141255oh hey, its you! Post more, I'm a big fan
>>1141087>/p/'s photos>inspiring other people to not suckyou're joking.
>>1141301you would be surprised. The pictures sent to me so far are really great
>>1141305that just changed.
>>1141395>gets email>oh god>DELETEhaha jk, good stuff bjdrew! Thanks!We need more contributors! Even if your not a tripfag we still want your work in the folder!
>>1141654I'm still trying to sort out only 15... I can't decide D:
>>1141087email sent!
>I'm having trouble selecting only 15...Okay, you know that this folder is going to be mostly shit, right?No thanks
got 3 more contributors last night. All three were awesome.To the anon who only sent me two, those are god tier imoTo C.S. Nice stuff. I recognize some of the pics from /p/. Keep it up!Gerhart, love the portraits. Especially those blonds with scarfs Everyone is welcome to contribute no matter what your skill level. Just pick out your favorites!
>>1141865well I'm not selecting "15 that others might like" but 15 of my personal favourites, of course they'll be shit to all of you, but there are just some that I like equally as much as others.
>>1141865as stated above, the things I have so far are really good.And if anon if having trouble picking 15 its because anon takes so many good shots its hard to choose fromEXIF data available.

>a collection of /p/s best photosso it's shit then
>>1141876>implying a format in which ANYONE can pick their own photos (and up to 16) will be any goodThis kind of thing needs to be curated, like in the other thread. Otherwise your folder will seriously be full of shit.
>>1141880so far its not. Natureguy, Gerhart, BJDrew, Colorado 4x5 guy, and 2 anons have contributed so far.
>>1141884Another thing is that by soliciting submissions you are going to miss a ton of photos by people who either 1) don't give a shit about the collection or 2) don't post any more.
>>1141887then I will email the people on the flickr list
>>1141884was the anons' shit worthy?
If you guys are so worried that it will be full of shit, then before I send it out to everyone, I will send it to a few people and have them pick out the bad ones
>>1141896this anon>>1138881was one of themand the other one looked awesomecant this just be about sharing your work with the masses instead of whats shit and whats not? Everyone is free to contribute
>>1141901>My work looks awesomeYOURE FUCKING LYING TO MAKE OTHERS MAIL THEIR SHIT.(i hope not...)
>>1141914>>1141914if I was going to steal their work, how the hell would I explain all the different cameras in the exif? haha. Plus, I'm leaving then names of the files intact (most have the artist name), and some even give contact info, which I hope they dont mind me including
I'm having trouble finding my Vincent folder. Does someone have a bunch of his stuff to submit?
>>1141874ok, I sent them
>>1141971Thanks! I'm on my phone at work, so I can't see them until later.
should i just email you a link to my portfolio site (which has about 25 or so of my best pics, all web size on one page, really easy to view, can choose which ones you like and save from there), or would it be easier for you if i emailed you the individual pictures that i choose.
what the fuck is going on here?
Sent in 7 of my best snapshits.
How long do we have to send in our pictures?
>>1142008what ever is easier for you.>>1142013Awesomeness >>1142020not home yet, but I'm eager to see them!>>1142035I'm doing to be collecting until there is a good amount of pictures to share. maybe 2 or 3 weeks. Depends how fast people sends in their pictures
>>1142171Don't be too eager, it's a bunch of pictures of dogs and backyard flower photography.
so... I can just send you the photos that I like the best?What if my work isn't the best around? are you going to include them anyways?
>>1141087e-mailed!
By all means, feel free to edit it down to 7-10 per entry or send it out to some trips to trim down the shiat.
>>1141917I'm sorry for that, I wasn't clear enough.You tagged my work as "god-tier" (>>1141870)At first i thought you were trollin or just overstating to encourage others to post. It just made me feel uneasy, I'm still shit compared to the tripfags.also,>>1142316I came
Finally gives me a reason to finish editing all these 200 something pictures
>>1142360>mfw he sends 200something pictures
>>1142374I'll send like 5 cause my stuff is terrible.Its just motivation.
Proxiee,My hat's off to you, kind sir, for taking the initiative and starting a proper collection and representation of regular contributers to our humble little board.As for moot, I spoke with him two days ago and he said, "yeah, /p/ is a good board". So, while /p/ may have been a waste of space at one point in time, /p/eople have been contributing more quality content of late, it would seem. Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing the /p/ collection once its complete. I encourage all to contribute their piece. Kind Regards,Anonymous
im scared to email any pictures incase you actually use one of them and i will get ripped to peices for it.
>>1142171Hey proxiee, can you please wait at least 2 weeks before you release it? I'm asking because I still have a fuckload of film to get developped and scanned and I don't want to miss out :(
>>1142313Send your pictures anyway! The method to weed out photos has yet to be determined. I'm thinking of sending the whole packet out to five people and have them take out what they think should not be in it. When I get it back from all five I will count the deleted photos as a vote. If 3/5th of them deleted that photo, then the photo will be removed. I will however make sure that at least three images from each person are included if all of their photos are voted offDoes that seem fair to people?>>1142316nice! You take awesome portraits>>1142350I like to go through the Life Magazine collection and learn about photos from that. Your two photos really really reminded me of whats in that collection.>>1142360oh god haha>>1142390why thank you! I hope what your saying is true about moot. He's deleted two places already. HES ON A ROLL OH GOD>>1142008>>1142008>>1142008>>1142008>>1142008>>1142008>>1142008>>1142008oh damnit...your 3 parts on your store are my 3 favorite kinds of photography. How will I pick?!!?!?! I'll just go by what looks appealing, and put contact info in there too
>>1142392see>>1142401for how I intend to go through the photos. Also, if you wish to be anonymous in the pack I can make it so :D>>1142394>>1142394I guess haha. Get developing!>>1142401and by store I meant website
what if I only got 3 pieces of best photos with me can I still send it?
>>1142405so you are saying you wont do anything for 2 weeks? in that case my kodachrome should of arrived and i can submit some of that, i think i got some OK stuff.
emailed.
>>1142414well, there is a difference between not doing anything and collecting more photos haha. In 2-3 weeks I will/should/hopefully be done collecting photos.>>1142407yup! the limit is 15 and under
>>1142401>I hope what your saying is true about moot.It is true, indeed.
>>1142437Sent, moon photo
>>1142433received. The last time I made a /p/ collection I had a very hard time choosing what photos to include of yours. I dig your style>>1142446receivedAlso, I emailed Beethy telling him about this. If you know the email/website/contact info of any person who used to be apart of /p/, but no longer contributes, please post it or email me it.

Will you name the pictures so we can see who shot what pictures, to see what tripfag does what and to seperate all the anons from each other?
>>1143256>>1143256>>1143256if they provide a trip, then they are put in their own folder with contact info if they provide/ask for itif they are anon, I put them in an anon folder with whatever name the photo is when I download itif anon askes/provides trip/posts contact info, they get their own folderits not too late to do something differentlyAlso, 7 emails. then go on flickr. 4 messages. >mfwstill downloading. three people just said take anything from my flickr of 300 images, so I'm attempting to sort those out atm

>>1143267can you put mine in my own "woosuf" folder?
>>1143267try resending, I did not get itproxiee@gmail.com
>>1143280sent
here is a screenshot of the project so far and how I am subdividing the anons and yes, that means vincent did send a folder :D He did however agree that it will need to be fine tuned, getting rid of weaker photos, so the collection wont be too bigI am also recieved messages from tedious, who wanted to know more and how to contribute, and from alb(angrylittleboy), who says will go through his photos and contribute soon
>>1143299sweet! that looks great so far
>>1143307thanks. I had gone through my email and peoples flickrs to find out whos pictures belonged to who in the anon folder, and I renamed them by the first letter of their name followed by their last name. Steele had already named his
>>1143310Looks like a good system. Keep it up!
i gave in, jerkin' away
>>1143314thanks chewie! I'm jelly of the macros D:there are now 279 photos, with a pending 45 on the way
