PHOTO Submissions
Having high quality photos in the newsletter is one of our primary goals. To achieve this, we have the following photo submission guidelines.

  • Hard copy photographs in color or in black and white should be printed on glossy paper by a photo developing and printing company, just as you would process pictures from your home camera. Photo size should be no smaller than 4 inches by 6 inches. We cannot use photographs produced on a computer printer because they do not publish well.
  • Electronic photos in color or in black and white that are submitted via disk or email should be saved at 300 dpi and formatted as an EPS or a TIF format. Size should be 4 inches by 6 inches. JPEG is an acceptable format at 300 dpi, but may result in a poorer quality product.
  • Photos of people should be close-up, focusing on faces. Team photos generally do not publish well; multiple rows of individuals are better than 1 or 2 wide rows.
    Whiter photos are better than darker photos.
  • The newsletter staff reserves the right to use, edit, or crop photos. Photos may be used for a specific issue or archived for future use. Not all photos may be published. Photographs cannot be returned. We appreciate your help in making photos an outstanding part of the newsletter.
