A friend of mine is working on a new book project entitled: My Favorite Photo. If you are interested in participating, please read the following info and request. Thanks for your interest. sandy temporary web site: http://www.portfolios.com/photog/sc-photo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ My Favourite Photo Request Letter and Waiver: I WANT YOUR FAVOURITE PHOTO I'm working on a book of photo-stories entitled My Favourite Photo. If you have a Favourite Photo that you can part with for a while, and can tell me in a small paragraph (up to 150 words) why it's your Favourite Photo, you may soon see it in print. It does not necessarily have to be a photo you shot yourself, but please don't send a photo for which you do not hold copyright. In your description of the photo, tell what it is about this particular photo that stirs your emotions - simply put, state your personal reason for loving the photo. It doesn't even have to be a fabulous photo, just one that, because of the memories and feelings evoked, really appeals to you. If the exposure or colour balance is off, or if it's scuffed or stained (which may even add to the appeal of the photo), no worries, as I can enhance it digitally if needed. Perhaps it depicts an event, a trip, a funny experience - it could simply be a photo that you feel is so well executed, that it just has to be shared. Subject matter is wide open. The main criteria is that YOU LOVE THIS PHOTO for what it means to YOU. Color, Black&White, or sepia-toned photos can be sent to me in any of the following formats: 1. Negative strip with the number of the frame clearly noted with your description. (Please do not cut the strip.) 2. Slide (35 mm transparency) 3. Print (no larger than 5 x 7 inches). For purposes of publication quality, I cannot accept emailed submissions, although you can email me your story, with a note that the photo (or negative or slide) is on the way. Don't forget to include your contact information (including email address) with both the photo and photo-story. I shall endeavour to return all photos quickly and safely. If you prefer (for security) you may wish to make a duplicate slide or print for submission, but this will still be returned to you, unless you indicate otherwise. Please print off and sign the waiver at the bottom of this email, and return it with your photo and photo-story to the address at the end. This gives me permission to use the photo in the book "My Favourite Photo." If you are unclear on any of these instructions, please contact me. Thank you for your time and interest. I look forward to seeing your Favourite Photo and its story in the mail soon. I shall email you upon its receipt. After publication, I shall do my best to obtain a copy of the book for all owners of photo-stories published.
