Notes on the curation of the #MonochromeMarch zine images:
There are around 150 of MY favourites but I'm not Ansel Adams, I'm just an ordinary bloke, so please don't be offended if your work isn't used.
I chose images for many reasons - subject, composition, creativity, tone, light, shadow, contrast, quirkiness, etc.
The zines are free, all permissions have been granted and if you want to print them, go ahead, but please don't sell them.
We'll do it again in 2027, with a few minor admin tweaks.

@StevenLawsonPhotography Fantastic collection! Thank you again for your idea and tremendous effort. ️

@StevenLawsonPhotography Thank you once again, and what an exciting selection! I’m already looking forward to next year!

@StevenLawsonPhotography this looks great! I love the way you arranged the pictures in nice matching pairs, so they can produce extra feelings.

@StevenLawsonPhotography You Rock! Thank you!

But on my iPhone I can’t get the download unless I sign up or give my email for a link by email later. Is that as you thought? I haven’t been able to select download.

[steinwaelzer@nrw.social]

@cobalt123 @StevenLawsonPhotography You have to open it in Safari, then you have a tiny arrow at the bottom left to download.
When I just click the link it takes me to another browser (from Mastodon?) and that doesn’t work, but there is the Safari logo that you can click on.

@StevenLawsonPhotography
Quick note:

When I clicked on your link, I landed in my own Dropbox files, with no obvious way to get to your shared doc. Dropbox is stupid that way. Worst interface ever.

The solution: in Chrome, I opened an incognito tab and pasted your link in there. That took me directly to your file.

Nice zine! I'm glad you put this together.

[stevenlawsonphotography@mastoart.social]

@BobHorowitz Thanks for that Bob, I will have to stick with Dropbox for now but next year I will find a more elegant download solution.

[cobalt123@beige.party]

@Steinwaelzer yay thank you!!!!

@StevenLawsonPhotography What an incredible collection of images Amazing work here, Steven, you've got a good eye for curation.

And of course, thanks for including one of mine 🤩

[benbradley@hachyderm.io]

@StevenLawsonPhotography there's a quicker way to share Dropbox links without needing to jump through these hoops. If the URL ends dl=0 change it to dl=1 and it will immediately download.

What a great selection, really shows what a range of excellent images got submitted. Glad to hear that it's coming back next year.

[holger@mastodon.de]

@StevenLawsonPhotography awesome! Well done and also well done every one who contributed photos!

@benbradley I didn't know that, thank you for the tip! I've edited the download link.
