I am looking for somebody to work with me on a nature photography site.

Here some of the features I want to implement. User must be able to:
1. Submit photographs.
2. Search for photographs.
3. Rate photographs.
4. View top rated photographs, top images of the week/month/all time, top images buy category.
5. View photographs by category.
6. View photographs by name.
7. Submit feedback about a photograph and read what others wrote (a messageboard with image on top).
8. View all the photographs that he submitted.
9. Create a personal gallery of photographs from photographs submitted by others.
10. View list of authors by name.
11. View statistics, such that how many other users viewed his/hers picture.

Some information about the project:
Paid?
The site will contain: ad words, static banners. The site will not contain: flash advertisement, animated gif. banners. All the profit will be divided.
However, I do not think that substantial traffic will be generated during the first year.
Working Hours?
I plan to work on weekends since I am busy all other days of the week. I am going to work 12 hours per week. You must be able to contribute at least 4 hours per week.
Time Span?
The start date is July 15. The project must be finished by the end of the summer.
Web Addres?
The site will be here: http://naturefoto.org
Why would somebody need another photo site?
The odd thing is that I did not find a website having similar features that I listed and dedicated thoroughly to nature photography. Most of the sites are general.

One more thing, please do not join me if you do not like nature photography. My personal opinion is that you can create something good only if you are passionate about the subject.

My email addres is: Image Feel free to send me any questions.

I could help you to build a site as you described but I'm not passionate about the subject or know much about nature photography. However, I'm passionate about computer programming in general and I love to help people out with the project I'm currently working on - ezPortal, which is a system that helps you build websites using the tools provided by ztml. These tools included image media functions that you could use to build photo gallery. If you and your team would like to try out these tools to build your site, I could help you to set it up but it does have some learning curve.

Well, I also do not know much about nature photography. :D I am an amateur, not a professional photographer myself. However, I just like it. I have three landscape paintings on the wall in my room; I like too look at them.

Thanks for letting me know about the CMS.

Just a little addition. By "nature photography" I mean not just flowers and insects, but mostly landscapes and seascapes.
Also, if you join me, I will give you access to google adwords account, statcounter account, etc. I can even give you my home address.
I would love to pay for this project, but I am a university student and do not have lots of money myself. So, if you want to create a unique website with lots of interesting pictures, feel free to join me.
