In my opinion it's better to open a thread for the event and collect related pictures there.
Otherwise such threads will get to big and unstructured like the fav. picture threads ...

Hi, GZM - yes, you can continue to post your photos here. We will move them if we think they are better placed somewhere else.
Thank you for these - they are great photos!

Since the other thread DID become a catch-all, is there any reason these threads cannot be combined? The other thread is no longer "favorites" and if this one isn't favorites, either, it seems we don't need both. Ultimately, it makes the most sense to have photo collections on the main site organized by event, and the forum can be a place to discuss a particular photo or to place a random photo not tied to a particular event. In the meantime, I think we just need one thread, "Photos of Yusuf" so they are in one place on the form and people don't have to worry about which thread to use. Unless there are any strong objections to that, I will try to do that when I get home tonight. I disagree. Some photographs cannot be "organized by event," unless you intend to have an endless list of events. The interesting photograph gzm posted recently where Yusuf is praying in a chair during Ramadan is an example. The point of having two threads for photographs on the forum is this: Some photographs ("favorites") are outstanding, high-quality portraits. Others ("misc, random") are interesting mostly from a documentary point of view. The existence of two threads does not pose a problem. (Surely no one could be insulted by the existence of two threads.) As you can see, GZM, who has posted more photos than anyone else in recent months, eagerly embraced the idea of having two threads. Therefore, I suggest that before consolidating the two, you wait for a few months to see if/how the threads are used by others. Surely there cannot be any legitimate reason to rush to eliminating either of those threads this evening. The “legitimate” reason is the one you cited above:
“Well Hell's bells! I also started the one called "FAV PHOTOS", but instead of being reserved for favorites, it has become a catch-bin for every new photo someone finds.”Since it has already far deviated from just being favorites, there is no sense in having two threads for random/new photos. Photo collections really belong on the main site and yes, organized by event. You stated “Some photographs cannot be "organized by event” which I addressed by stating “…the forum can be a place to discuss a particular photo or to place a random photo not tied to a particular event.” I never said anyone would be insulted by the existence of two photo threads, just that it doesn't make sense given what "Favorites" has become. |

You're welcome Affy. Heheh, but why? Because of the gray jacket? To be honest, I don't like that jacket. But look at this, (purplemoon's second picture). Yes, this is definitely a lot better. He looks very young and handsome here.  |

I think Regine is saying Yusuf takes his glasses off to read, which is what I have to do as well.When i wear my glasses for driving. I have to take my glasses off if want to look at a map.

Which would make you just like Regi and Yusuf...."near-sighted"! Nearsighted people are able to see near by objects, while farsighted people are able to see far away objects. |

Hey S, D, or B!! (sshhh, I don't want to give away your identity  ) Nice to see you too! That's a great picture of Yusuf reading my latest fan letter!! How on earth did you ever find it? ;D  ;D Oh, and about the gray suit mentioned in an earlier photo, I have to agree with Aura....gorgeous! There's just something about a man who always looks so put together. Yusuf has had his clothes tailored since he was first in the business and they never fail to look fantastic!! He has knack for choosing just the right shade of colors to compliment his hair and skin...tres cest bon!!  Love it!! |
