She’s a cutie and you did a great job with these photographs
This is a "photography" forum, not Twitter (before it became X) or Facebook with their content police. The "photos" were lovely and obviously submitted by a proud family member. I enjoyed them. Get over yourselves elitists.
I appreciate those who are “defending” my post, but just to be clear, I actually intended to post it to Photo Gallery but I inadvertently must have not succeeded. What I find most disturbing is the ridiculous level of vitriol directed at me. What’s the matter with these folks? Calling for me to be executed for the “crime” seems a tad extreme and the incivility in this forum is reaching new highs (or is it lows?) to the point that it’s becoming more unpleasant to participate with each passing instance. Im compelled to mention that it seems so many of these nasties are members with thousands of posts. I guess it’s easier to run up 35,000+ posts when a lot of them are snide remarks. Rant over. Until the next time. 😎

You know, I had your back. Sure it belongs in the gallery, you made a mistake. Some people said it was in the wrong forum. No big deal. But now you’re turning this into another “War on Christmas”. It’s a nothing burger. I just went through the entire 6 pages looking for the vitriol you complained about. There is absolutely NO vitriol directed at you. Where did someone call for your execution? 100% of the vitriol has come from you and those haranguing the few people that pointed out that the post belongs in the Photo Gallery.

Well said. It is the handful of people chronically whining about being persecuted who are causing the trouble.
People have a problem with UserID and CHG_CANON? Seriously? Where is this terrible "vitriol?" I don't see it.

After observing a quite embarrassing exchange with a brand new member who dared to pist some photographs in an introductory post here yesterday, I went on a search to find the actual posted written rules forbidding photographs in this forum. I looked in all obvious spots for a specific ruling. I intentionally omitted looking anywhere that required any level of mind reading or ExtraSensory Perception. I found nothing. Nada. Zilch.
In fact, in the rules for this section, the very first specific instruction I found covered not only "How to post a picture," but also how to "Store Original," in order to post it with higher resolution.
My intent here is not to pick a fight. I'm sure this post is well along a path of being moved. But if this forum is to survive, it is time to start focusing on what matters. Photograps are generally not evil on a photography forum.

Yes but...
Most will agree these are simple casual family snap shots, with a background that is typical of a home environment, nice camera but...
I also have thousands of "snap shots" of my grandson just like these and to me... they are priceless. I would not be motivated to post any of them here in the main forum, unless they had some kind of technical significance.
Have you ever lived through a three- hour- long Kodak slide show featuring children at play in diapers at your in- laws home back in the 1960's or 70's? ... good grief the memories and sounds of the projector... and the never ending pile cassettes being loaded one after the other.
Whats is the purpose of posting snap shots other than to connect with other members that may share a sence of empathy for kids they will never meet in their lifetime?
Hmmm, it does seem to be a new direction of this forum...
Gorgeous eyes and those eyelashes are amazing.Don't let any negative comments discourage you. These are lovely photos.
Beauty! Subject and captures IMO
