Welcome To All

This is not "spam!" Your name is on this list because I know you
directly or some one that I know has requested you to be added to the
list. If you would like to unsubscribe I understand. There are several
option at the bottom.
For all of those who might have not been here in the beginning when I
started this project. It all started off when I was taking pictures at
lunch all around my work place. I know some of you are thinking
pictures near work, what would be pleasant around work that would be
worth a photo.
Well I work at Santa Clara University and there are millions of photo
opportunities. It is like an ever evolving canvas of beauty. As each
day passes it seem like something different is come alive. I will go
into this story more some other time. Back to the intro.
I started to show my photos to a few of my coworkers. Word got around
as I started to add people to the list that I thought would enjoy my
photos. Then I realized with me sending these large images to people
on a regular basis would fill up there mail boxes real quick. That is
when I started to post the images to the web and sending small emails
with links.
At that time there were about 60 member of the "Picture of the day"
list. I am now in the progress of converting this site into Pictures
of the Week / Photo Blog website. It is going to be called "Photo
Ben 750." I am going post five images all at once for the whole week.
This will help make it more manageable and I will be able to make the
postings more interesting with background information, personal
critiques, and graphical enhancements. For all those who like to get
the daily dose I will most likely post to the blog on a regular basis.
It may not be every day but I will often post images or photographic
art work of mine on the site. The email posting to members accounts
will only come once a week to notify them of the "Pictures of the
Week."
With the publication of this email I am launching the
Photo...@googlegroups.com list. On Monday, May 16th I will be
launching the http://photoben750.blogspot.com/ blog. Until the
official launch I will repost this message and a few images. You may
also visit my personal site at www.bengreer.com .
I really want to share my pictures with as many people as possible. I
have a goal to get 200 members on the list by the end of June. So if
you know any one that would like to be a member please let me know or
send them the link http://groups-beta.google.com/group/PhotoBen750 to
sign up for the group. They may also email me directly at
Photo...@googlegroups.com.
I also understand if you would prefer to not get the emails and just
check the Photo Ben 750 Blog (http://photoben750.blogspot.com/) on your
own. Please let me know or you can unsubscribe from this group using
the link at the bottom of the message.
Please enjoy and I will see you back on Monday, May 16th.
Special thanks to my friends at Santa Clara University.
