Oh dear. It's that time again. Time to remind everyone about the Caedes Snapshot Policy. Caedes.net is not a social networking site. Photos of oneself are accepted and appreciated if they have some artistic merit. The fact that you may be attractive (in your opinion) does not in and of itself make an image of you "art". Fortunately I do not have this problem, and you will find no images of me on this site. (It also keeps "The Man" from finding me.) One carefully constructed and artistic image - fine. There s a gallery for that. Repeatedly uploading images of yourself indicates that you are either egotistic or overly needy and fishing for compliments.

Those photos of your dog or cat? The rest of us really don't want to see them, and though precious little Tigger may be just adorable, this isn't the place to share your photos of him. No one wants to have your dog or cat on their desktop unless they're a relative. If so, mail them a photo instead.

The bottom line is this: Caedes.net is not the place to share personal photos. There are other sites for that.

Oh, and everybody, PLEASE read the Rules of Composition. They're brief and extremely helpful.
