William, we haven’t really done an all day thing, because we are spread throughout the world. Yes, most of us are in the USA, but we really do come from all over.

However, the online community at Flickr has served us quite well. The majority of us follow the daily themes, and include all the proper tags, so that each other’s work is easy to find. Then we all try to view and comment on each others work.

If you’re on Flickr, make sure to add each day’s tag, usually “2009Challenge###”, where the ### changes each day. If you’re not on Flickr, feel free to toss a comment on the post for a day’s theme, with the link to wherever you post your photos.

Excellent creativity in the organization of this site, I’m an amateur photographer who enjoyed back in PR something similar, a group of well known photographers would link up once a month for a photo shoot out at various locations through out the Island. We all shared and critic each others work, provided advise, guidance and overall friendship. I was hoping to find something similar, this looks pretty close to what we did. Does the group involve here get to link up together for an all day outing? Please advise.

Rechena, we generally post around 6pm (1800 hours), Pacific Standard Time. I believe that is GMT -8. I hope that helps.

Hi, ussually at what time the day before, its cause I’m on the other side of the ocean and I would like to participate, but I would like to know the theme before I came to work. Usually when I arrive at work the topic is already posted… I’m in Portugal – Europe.

Regards, and keep up the good work.

Bob, we generally announce the 2009 Challenge topics the day before. That is done on purpose. Our hope is that through the limited time to plan, each photog will grow in their ability to accept their environment and circumstances. This will push your skill level, hopefully.

Is there a list of all the daily photo challenge daily topics for the year? I can only find the posts after the fact. I am trying to find the Challenge subjects a day or two in advance.

I’ve only been doing the challenges since the 2nd week of May, but I’m finding the more I participate, the more the creative side of my brain has been kicking in. Sad to say, it had been on hiatus for a long time, but these challenges are stretching it, getting it back in fighting form

I like the premise, “commit to view and critique each other’s photography.” I hope that as people get to know me better through my participation that they’re feel more comfortable to do the critiquing aspect, because I know from previous experience, that really does help to improve your skills.

Thanks, Trevor, for organizing this all!
