**Thread for VOLUNTEERS to HOST Photo Contests in 2022!**
We have had a very successful second year with the practice of asking VOLUNTEERS to HOST the photo contests.
Thanks go to
Mira, Soph0571, Callalily, Dyedinthewoolliberal, CaliforniaPeggy, and urbanhermit for volunteering. Some have volunteered to do two months!
Now it's time to think about organizing VOLUNTEERS to host in 2022! Please, if you are a frequent visitor, member, or devotee of the Photography Group, think about signing up to HOST a monthly contest. There's a thread which is helpful if you've never hosted.
https://www.democraticunderground.com/103649550
and there is usually someone around you can ask if you have questions.
Here are the months. If you would like to host, please respond and identify which month you would like to host. The SEASONAL Contests run in March, June, September, and December. All other months are theme oriented contests where the winner will be awarded the prize of choosing the theme for the contest in the next theme oriented month. As in the past, the winner--because of selecting the theme--does not get to participate in the next contest, but hosts are allowed to participate (unless by chance the person who is scheduled to host also happens to win the previous month and selects the theme!) As an example, the winner of this November's Contest (2020) will choose the theme for the January 2021 contest because the contest for December 2020 will be a Seasonal Contest (AUTUMN)
It would be really wonderful if some of the winners from this past year would VOLUNTEER to HOST!
As people respond with the months they would like to host, I will put the names together with the months so that we can refer back to this thread to see who has volunteered for hosting any particular month in 2021. Just indicate in a response to this thread which month you'd like to VOLUNTEER to host, and I will match your name to the month. I have already picked out the two that I will run this coming year.

Comparison between last night's moon and tonight's:
Last night's moon:
Tonight's moon:
No idea why tonight's looks squashed.
Moon shots tonight: one in B&W and one in color:
They are the same view, but differently cropped, which makes them different sizes.
Since we've been talking about Facebook......here's one person's take on it:
PRESENTLY, I AM TRYING TO MAKE FRIENDS OUTSIDE OF FACEBOOK WHILE APPLYING THE SAME PRINCIPLES.THEREFORE EVERY DAY, I GO DOWN ON THE STREET AND TELL THE PASSERBY WHAT I HAVE EATEN, HOW I FEEL, WHAT I HAVE DONE THE NIGHT BEFORE, AND WHAT I WILL DO AFTER.
I GIVE THEM PICTURES OF MY FRIENDS, MY FAMILY, MY DOG, AND ME GARDENING AND SPENDING TIME IN MY POOL.
I ALSO LISTEN TO THEIR CONVERSATIONS AND I TELL THEM I LOVE THEM.
-- AND IT WORKS: I ALREADY HAVE 3 PERSONS FOLLOWING ME: TWO POLICE OFFICERS AND A PSYCHIATRIST!
