Miriam, cool! I think it’s an idea that’ll have traction. I’ve started to get the ball rolling on suggesting things for prizes. Tho I still can’t think about how to quantify “What I scanned” to be worthy of a prize. (And I see the opportunity of a prize as a motivator, something fun.)
I’m thinking of a weekend in Late Feb or early March. Haven’t picked which one yet.
Is it by number of photos? Number of megabytes? Different people will have different requirements. Or methods.
I can see it: “Yeah, I scanned a bunch of family photos. Scanned hundreds of them. What was the image size? Oh, I don’t know… let me check. Here it is: 200 x 300 pixels each at 72ppi. [pause] Are you okay?” (er the listener went into shock because the images are such low resolution.)
If I’m scanning photos, I’ll have one set of criteria (good scans, high rez, gang snapshots and crop em apart later in Photoshop) than if I’m scanning those letters (yes, good scans, yes, high rez, but I’ll also be adding metadata to the images—prolly even typing in portions or subjects as part of the metadata. That’ll slow things down. I won’t “win” the prize for slowness, but it meets the goal of what I want to do.)
Okay, I’ve got it. Sign up, do it, and somehow show you’ve done it, and that makes you eligible for random prize drawing.
