If you are enjoying Light Art Photography Forum. Please take a moment to help spread the word!
How can you help?
I see Light Art developing as a group of localised groups, eventually enabling meet-ups, photo-walks events etc. You, know stuff away from the computer with real people.
The following sites all specialise in building local communities and offer FREE ads.
Please visit any of the following and place a local free ad for you local city using the following text, just as a guide, you can edit and personalise as you wish.
I have also attached a copy of the Light Art logo for inclusion.

The easiest way is to just copy and paste the following text into the Subject and Body areas, then edit it a bit to suit.
We are looking to get into the Community/ Activities & Interests, or liesure, or groups sections. Each of these sites lets you hide your email address (please do), or you can use mine admin@...
UK, Australia, Asia - www.gumtree.com
USA, Canada - www.kijiji.com

subject line text: (edit as you please)

[admin]

Thanks Chief! you got on it right away.
A big help.

[Ross and Cher]

Shhh! You'll destroy my reputation with that kind of mushy talk!!!!

[admin]

Sorry, I forgot the cone of silence.
BTW, The Hastings Point series came up great on www.LightArtPhoto.com

[Ross and Cher]

PS - bring the cone down Agent 86 - Have covered all Aus locations under the Craft/Hobby section, so lets see if it works as well as the Irish version!!!

Thanks Ross, well done!
Come on US members lend a hand, itonly takes a minute.

All gone  :'(

My ads have been removed from Gumtree.
That is a bummer. Need to find a new free avenue of promotion. Just when we had a roll going. Any idea's??

[Ross and Cher]

Did I hear the going rate was 10 Quid an hour? They haven't removed ours from the Aus site AD, so I am thinking we need a crash test dummy to post onto the OS sites in your stead!!!! As the resident crash test dummy, will have a bash later - time permitting, unless one of our UK members would like to be assistant crash test dummy!!!

Way to go, Ben!
Thank you. A little help goes a long way.

C'mon LA dudes and dudettes, post in your local town.

[OZZI-BLOKE]

I have put a couple of links to LAF in some photography groups on Facebook.

Thanks guys.
I have posted to Craigslist in Sydney. They all like to keep it local, which is fine.

'Hello, My name is Mark.
I am a Light Art tragic.
It has been two days since I visited a photography forum.
I have joined a group and suggest you do too'.

...I didn't really write that. Just in fun.

This, by the way, was how I found this forum.
