As always, we will be assembling a large collection of DLV 2007
photos on our web site.
We are asking you to please contribute your photos to this effort.
Here's the way this works.
1. Attendees submit their photos as outlined below.
2. We temporarily place all photos on line in a private staging
area for all attendees to view and approve. Everybody gets a
reasonable number of NO votes for any photos in which they appear,
excluding the large group photos at Night Of The Soiled Doves,
Elvis and the Limo Tour. Those are a done deal. (Note that the
inside photos of Night Of The Soiled Doves need to be approved
by the facility staff, and they will appear after most of the
others.)
(As of this time the first photos are now up in the staging area.
Those who attended should have now received the link to the
staging area in e-mail.)
3. We use those approved photos to make up the final DLV 2007
follow-up page.
. . . . .
How do you submit these, you ask? Here's how ...
1. E-mail, file attach using any sane method. The file attach
functions of Hotmail/Yahoo/Gmail all work fine. You may send
directly to either dlv@geekbabe.com or annie@annie.net
You may attach one image per e-mail, or many images per e-mail,
whatever works best for you. There are no "mailbox size limits"
on these accounts, so send away.
2. FTP. Please write in for the server/login/password information.
3. CD/DVD or floppy via snailmail (postal mail).
We had problems with this last year. Two of the submitted CDs
would not mount on any machine I had access to, both at home
and at work, and one did not have the images, but only links
(shortcuts) to them on the user's machine.
If you can't use 1 or 2 above, and need to send a CD/DVD, please
write in for the postal mail address. The CDs or floppies will
be returned if you want
4. Hardcopy prints via snailmail. Again, write in for the
postal mail address. Prints will be scanned and then returned.
Standard 4" x 6" mini-lab prints work very well for this and
reproduce very well on the web.
5. Links to a NORMAL (repeat NORMAL) web site with the images.
By "normal" we mean something other than most "Photo Sharing"
sites. These are intentionally designed to make it difficult
to get clean quality copies of multiple images. Flickr is a
pain to use for this, and the Yahoo Groups photos are no
longer available in full resolution.
If you want to ask what's easiest for us, 1 and 2 (e-mail or)
FTP are about as easy and are preferred over the others.
3 and 4 (CD/DVD, floppy, or prints) via postal mail are next
in terms of effort required to process. Prints always work,
and it's really no problem to scan them, since I have access
to a large scanner which will do several of them in each
scan.
Downloading from the web is not preferred, but will work
assuming the site does not use any strange methods to display
the full-resolution images. Most of the photo sharing sites
are intentionally landmined to prevent mass downloading
using scripts.
