I love photography… count me in ---

I really like the idea of a group account. What about a facebook group we could all post to? I’d be willing to try and figure it out if we have a consensus. . . ---

I’m in. I probably won’t be able to participate every month, but I’ll do my best. ---

I’m in if we do a group account. Flicker or Picasa allow comments on the photos (not sure about photo bucket) so I think we should go with one of those. When some of us did the “thing a day” challenge, it was rather a mess with everyone posting stuff in different places. I’d be happy to set up the group account if needed. ---

I’m in too. I got Facebook and Flickr accounts so if we could use one of those it would be great. ---

Sounds fun and I just got a new camera. Count me in! ---

I just tried flckr, picasa and photobucket. For whatever reason the only one I can reach from work is flikr. I can also reach facebook. Does anyone know whether you can reach a facebook group without having a facebook account? I’m thinking not. Anybody else have access issues we should take into account? Once we’ve identified all the variables, (and if the answer doesn’t become obvious) we can just use a poll to vote on it. ---

I’m down. Flickr would probably be best, although Picasa is fine too. ---

I don’t have a facebook account, and can’t see the photos people link to on their FB accounts. ---

Are you supposed to get all the concepts into one photo, or is it just multiple choice? ---

I’d like to be in this too. I don’t get to go on the boards at lunchtime everyday like I used to and I didn’t see this, sorry if it’s late. Remind me for June? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/should-we-bring-back-photo-assignments/576027.md?page=1)
