Not travelling? Spread the word! [and a few rules before moving]


Howdy, Travellers!

Apparently, many of you still can't manage to send us their photos despite liking the idea of videogame photography, be it because of poor cameras or screens, too-blurred pictures, lack of self-confidence... or simple laziness.

In this case, is there anything else you can do to help this project? Yes, there is.
And that is: spread the word.

In the last few weeks, we have been trying to get in touch with many videogame sites from all countries to help us make the existence of this blog a little bit more known. Of course we'll keep doing our best even in the next months, but considering the number of foreing languages involved, we are not always able to communicate our message to national (and non-anglophones, in particular) sites - not to mention finding the main lot of them on the Web.

So this is how you can hugely help us:

- Tip your favorite or national websites about this project;
- Talk about us briefly in the videogame forums you usually hang around or visit;
- Share our blog even among your non-gamer friends through channels and communities like Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Orkut and so forth.


Is your help really worth it? Just give it a try and see, but we strongly believe so. Because in a not too distant future, we might end up having a lot more Travellers' photos and journeys to share, look at and comment all together.

...And isn't this the reason why we are all here?

October 2008 gallery theme: Places


Ladies and gentlemen,
the poll has finally come to an end. And the winner for the October theme gallery is…

PLACES


Not so much of a surprise, actually. But now it's official!

These were the final results:

People 11 (14%)
Places 32 (41%)
Scenes 16 (20%)
Arts and crafts 07 (09%)
Feelings 11 (14%)


All right then… Time to start travelling without moving!

From South Bohan to Lara-Croft-raided Peruvian temples, from Rabanastre to City 17 or even to the Scumm Bar in Melee Island, look for inspiration in any of the videogames you are playing and share with us your best photos starting from today.

Pictures sent during the week (if any) will be regularly posted on Sunday. If you have questions, you can find a couple of useful FAQs on the right-side column or email us at zaloTWM@gmail.com.

Until next time…

Bon voyage, Travellers!


P.S.: Before heading back to places that don't exist, we would like to thank all the 77 Travellers who took their time to vote and help us choose the theme for this month, as well as all the virtual photographers who sent us their beautiful pictures without even waiting for an actual theme to be chosen. So thank you very much for your participation.
We hope you will be of inspiration for many other Travellers in the next weeks!
