Re: [pinhole-discussion] testing the gallery?
Mike, I saw your posting to the discussion list and have corrected your statement in the exhibit. Everyone, It will help those of us reviewing the submissions to keep track of things if questions and requests of this type are sent to supp...@pinholeday.org, rather than to the discussion list.

I tried to include a short artist statement of well less than 100 words and I was not able to submit the form untill I had deleted most of it. (The submission page reported that the statement was too long!) Here is the statement that I wanted (and still want) to include with my photo Under the Bridge: Zone Plate photograph on Polaroid Type 667 film. Camera is a modified Polaroid Super Shooter Plus with the lens removed and replaced with an 85mm zone plate. (Due to the design of the camera, the zone plate is actually 95mm from the film plane.) Automatic exposure via the camera's built-in system set at 75 ASA, though the film is 3000 ASA. Mike Vande Bunt _ Pinhole Visions at http://www.???

Will there be an attempt to achieve some uniformity in the size of the images? Obviously they can't and shouldn't be identical in size, and I know these are test images, but it is conceivable that people will be sending images of very different physical dimensions and resolutions (which will change the size on screen). It will be difficult to adjust each photo as it comes in. I haven't yet looked at the submission page, if there is a size recommendation there, then maybe this is not a problem, but tiny images followed by ones so big that you have to move your browser window to view them may be disconcerting to viewers. The requirements for image files are specified on the page How to Scan at: http://www.pinholeday.org/participate/?page=scanning Those who go to the site are instructed to read this page from the page How to Submit at: http://www.pinholeday.org/participate/?page=howsubmit The requirements for submitted files are restated on the actual submission form. (Colin also pointed out a discrepency between the how to submit requirements and the submission form which I am resolving now.) 2. If the response is good (hundreds of photos or even a hundred), then the linearity of the display could become tedious to viewers. I got tired of hitting the browse button after about 20 photos. That might mean the photos at the beginning get a lot of attention while those at the end get ignored. One way to help might be to have thumbnails (someone has to do a lot of work, of course). It might help just to say somewhere how many photos there are in total. Or could a random selector be added? The only alternative option we have for browsing by submission date at the moment is the search option. But we definitely agree with you, Colin. This is something we are aware of and plan to expand on. We plan to have more options for browsing ready by the time the gallery starts to fill up. Thumbnails isn't in the plan as hundreds of thumbnails would take quite some time to load. But we do plan to implement options to view the most recent additions first, and to view by country, city, or other categories. Also, the Participants listing is by country and will soon include links from a person's name, to the photo. This should help some. I would like to take this opportunity to explain why the gallery exhibit is not as full-featured as it needs to be. The gallery is based on a good and complete design and programs written by Larry Fratkin. Larry's design and programs included the kinds of navigation that you are asking for. In the past couple of weeks I made the decision to convert Larry's design and programs to the language used by the rest of the site, and to use a database to store the submissions. Anything that is lacking in the gallery program is a result of my lack of implementation of Larry's design and much of what he had already worked out in another way. I hoped to have more of it finished by now. But, I am continuing to implement more options and I believe I will have more in place by the time it is needed, hopefully by Monday or Tuesday. I thank Larry for the work he did in designing the gallery and working out a lot of the programming. I only hope to catch up to what he had already worked out in the next couple of days. Thanks for your feedback, Colin. And thanks also for the additional feedback you sent to the team after you actually tried the submission form :) Gregg _ Pinhole Visions at http://www.p at ???
