Giant Squids A group for the Giant Squids. To highlight their lensography's, plexography's, and a favorite personal lens or two.

What Is A Giant Squid?

Giant Squids have been hand selected from among lensmasters as having high quality lenses. But, they can't just have really good lenses - they have to have a lot of really good lenses. Minimum number to be considered for Giant status is 50. So, if you're looking for some inspiration, check out the lensmasters, lensographies, and personal favorites highlighted in this group.

Submission Request:

Giant Squids: Please submit your lensography or plexography to me first. Then, when you get notification that it is accepted, you can send along one or two of your favorites to add to the mix. (Not everyone has their lensogrpahies named conventionally, and this will keep me from grouping them incorrectly.) Thanks for your cooperation with this.

**If you don't have a lensography, or don't want to submit it here, just send me a note (using the 'contact me' button is fine) and let me know so I watch for your lenses to come in by themselves.**

Giant Squids?

Yeppers, we're Giant Squids. We were notified by the Squid Powers that be of our designation in September 2007. To be a Giant Squid, you had to have a minimum of 50 quality lenses (as judged by Squidoo staff) by September 4, 2007.

Then two weeks of nail biting until we got our e-mail confirmation. And, well, here we are.

This group will highlight the lensography's and/or plexography's of the Giant Squids along with one (or 3) of their personal favorites. Check back here often to see what we're up to.

And There Will Be More Giant Squids:

After much speculation following the first round of Giants being appointed, the time has finally come for there to be more. The Giant Squid Lens by Megan Casey outlines the criteria. The first deadline of March 28, 2008 has just passed - and hopefuls are anxiously awaiting word if they've made it. Good luck to all!

The Class Of 2008 Giant Squids

It's Official - the first round of Giant Squids for 2008 have been announced and they are doing happy Squid dancing now. As soon as they are done, I hope they will be joining us here in Headquarters, so you can check out their awesome lensographies, and the favorites of their own lenses.

Heya Gypsy! I just went to add my lensography to this group because I didn't see my name anywhere here, and discovered I must've added it before. May I be listed as one of the Giants of 2008? I got my Giant badge with the March 2008 class. Thanks!

Thanks so much for accepting my lens into this group. It's an honour to be here with the big-time lensmasters. There's so much to learn and the best way to learn is to read the best that squidoo has to offer - you have them here in one collection
