How to submit photos

Photos will be published only if they are submitted according to the instructions below, with all of the specified information.  You might want to print out these instructions before you begin, so you can refer to them as you work.
   
1. Scans or digital photos should be sized to 640 x 480 pixels and in JPEG (.jpg) format if possible, and MUST BE less than 250 kb in size.
 
2. Change the filenames of your photo files to something unique to keep them from being overwritten by someone else's upload.  A good way to do this is to prefix your initials and birthday (mmddyy) to a sequence number.  For example, if your initials are xyz and your birthdate is March 1, 1970, then your files would be named

xyz030170_1.jpg
xyz030170_2.jpg
xyz030170_3.jpg
xyz030170_4.jpg
xyz030170_5.jpg
and so on

3. Prepare a text file using windows notepad or wordpad.  Name the file according to the example above, but without the sequence numbers.  In the example case, the file would be named

xyz030170.txt

4. At the beginning of the text file, insert your

a.     Name
b.     email address (make sure that it is correct)
c.     Telephone number
d.     Postal address

It is important that the above information be provided.  If there are any questions and we are unable to contact you, we will be unable to use your photos.
 

5. In the text file, provide a description of each of the photos.  As far as possible, please include date (approximate is ok) and names of any individuals, places, and organizations.  If there is a "story" involved, describe it briefly.  Continuing the above example, the list should now be similar to that below.
