Thanks all you guys.. ! BTW it does seem that even though it says two photos are "back in review" they still show up - I suspect they adjusted things so that one's photos stay in public view once accepted if all you change is something like K-X to KX.. phew. ann Walter Gilbert wrote:

Re: Pentax Photo Gallery Statistics

Bruce, could you please tell me how to discover whether the photo was rejected by peer voting or by gallery judges? My hat's off before you for what you did! As for your ramble - you're absolutely right. I mean - unless one by conscious choice engages in computer graphic where the initial image

Re: Pentax Photo Gallery Statistics

Yes, it does. I've made the same assumptions, but was curious as to the possibility of there being other indicators. Thanks! Jack --- Bruce Dayton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello Jack, > > The method of determination of peer rejection vs. judges is based on > speed of rejection. For the pas

Re: Short Attention Spans (was Re: Pentax Photo Gallery Statistics)

You can also see it if you teach. It is hard for students to even conceive of a subject that will take years to master. (Fortunately not all) I think the problem is that it's just too easy to change the channel. When choices were more limited, people had to live with things for a while and coul

Re: Pentax Photo Gallery Statistics

Hello Jack, The method of determination of peer rejection vs. judges is based on speed of rejection. For the past couple of months, the judges have been taking 1-3 weeks to reject. Peer rejections are mostly within a few days. So if something has sat there for a long time (more than a week) and

Advertising (was Re: Short Attention Spans (was Re: Pentax Photo Gallery Statistics))

Interesting discussion this afternoon on NPR about the Striesand effect. Striesand filed a lawsuit objecting to a web-publication of an image of her house. Nobody had seen or paid attention to the image, but once the lawsuit was know, millions went to the site to see the image. Many other e

An excellent observation on the part of Mr. Lanham. That's the culture of advertising. Grab them and don't let go. It's my stock in trade. Paul (University of Chicago, MA '73) On Feb 29, 2008, at 10:54 PM, Bong Manayon wrote: > I agree...and its not really confined to photos, wine or the Amer

Re: Short Attention Spans (was Re: Pentax Photo Gallery Statistics)

I agree...and its not really confined to photos, wine or the American culture either. I'm going through a book by Richard Lanham (Economics of Attention, Univ of Chicago Press) where in the IT age, the commodity is not information (we have too much of it) but attention. So whether in the media, pol

Short Attention Spans (was Re: Pentax Photo Gallery Statistics)

Bruce, This larger trend is also reflected in the U.S. wine industry. The "Robert Parker" scale is really to blame. Parker tastes zillions of wines each year, so each wine has just a few seconds to make an impression. If it is subtle rather than big, and not "hot" (high in alcohol), it doesn't

Re: Pentax Photo Gallery Statistics

Judges favoring anything would have to assume that they look at rejects, because the peer voting bumps lots of photos out. There has been no instructions to vote based on equipment to us, so I really doubt a significant portion would be voting that way - enough to impact the vote. Certainly one c

Re: Pentax Photo Gallery Statistics

Bruce, In need of self validation? The comfort you will feel if the majority are accepted upon re-submission will be easily worth the risk. They certainly don't deserve the fate the eleven re-submitter images have experienced. How are you able to determine if an image is accepted/declined by peer v
