pmj Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 We use the term 'Elves' to refer to a group of photo.net members who are responsible for selecting the Photograph of the Week. They are regular members, who've been selected at some point during the past several years. They are anonymous to avoid flames and/or bribes.

yann_r. Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 That's another proof that it could be interesting photo.net has a page explaining how this website works <i>(who-how-why-when-etc.)</i>.<br> Maybe it's in progress. (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john falkenstine Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Elves are usually only about 1 meter tall, have pointed ears and dress in green velvet clothing. Some spend huge amounts of time making cookies in tree houses that rot your teeth out. They speak in squeaky voices and they're difficult to understand. THAT is why they're anonymous on photo.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yann_r. Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Oh thanks Mary. I think I've read it once but thank you to recall me.<br> I was thiking about something like a guideline which could explain all the subtilty of PN. Sure almost all is explained somewhere, either on such page you just recalled me or in some forum threads, but grouping all under the same *thumb index* could be easier for users.

mg Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 You wrote: "They are anonymous to avoid flames and/or bribes." Here's an idea: let them take bribes at least, so they'll perhaps have a stronger motivation to look for more novel or unexpected works...:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe baker pine bush ny Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 i have a photo of one of the elves, trying to pic. POW<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjfraser Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Joe, I can understand your confusion, but just to clarify: The bearded creature in the photo is a gnome, not an elf. Gnomes are not known for their expertise in photography, though they enjoy posing for pictures. It's important to distinguish elves from gnomes and their other spirit-world cousins, such as fairies, pixies, sprites, gremlins, and of course trolls. Only elves and trolls are known to have a strong interest in photography, and unfortunately the trolls vastly outnumber the elves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreipfeiffer Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 "Elves are usually only about 1 meter tall" In all the fairy tales stuffs with elves ... they were presented as "taller" creatures ... taller than men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
