>> Does it have to be made with a Leica?  No.  Turns out that relatively few

>> the images use Wetzler/Solms equipment.
>> 
>> Does it have to be shot this year?  That's up to you.  One submitted image

>> 
>> Does it have to be color, or b/w?  Either is fine.
>> 
>> What format?  Send me (jshul@comcast.net ONLY) a .jpg of at least one meg.

>> 
>> Who owns the copyright?  The individual photographers retain all rights to

>> 
>> Is there a deadline?  Yes-December 31, 2006.
>> 
>> How will this be printed?  Take a look at www.blurb.com or www.lulu.com
>> Remember, this is a YEARBOOK.  Consider the other yearbooks you've seen
>over

>> really--but the pictures will be in color and printed individually.
>> 
>> Do we have to buy a book to submit?  NO!  The choice is yours.
>> 
>> How many will you print?  Zero.  The printing is entirely up to you; when
>> the book is finished I'll announce the link on the LUG.  You can go to the
>> print website and order as many (or few) as you'd like. 
>> 
>> Can I see the book before I buy it?  If the software allows that, sure.
>I'll
>> have to check. However, if look at the list of contributors, I'm sure
>you'll
