Here's
to have your family's photos added to the site if you don't have a
scanner. There are several ways to do this.
Best quality. Have color photocopies made of the
photographs. Take the photos to some place like Kinko's, Office
Depot, or Staples and have them make a color copy of the
photographs. Usually, you can get two photos to an 8 1/2" by
11" piece of paper and the cost is usually about $1.00 to $1.50 per
page. And, the quality is amazing. Then, send me the
copies. I'll scan them and send them back to you - and you can give
the copies to a relative.
Good quality. If you have a large photograph (anything over 8
1/2" by 11"), the best thing to do is to take a photograph of
the photograph. Use good lighting - take the photo outdoors if you
can. If the picture is in a frame with glass over it, be careful of
getting the glare from the glass. This works really well with large
wall-hanging photos. Get the film processed and mail me the
photographs you took. I'll scan them and send them back to you. Or,
if you use a digital camera - just email me the photos you took.
Pretty good quality. Sometimes, you can make a regular photocopy of
the photograph and have it come out well. The photos that work best
have more light than dark in them and not a lot of areas covered in solid
black. Here's
a really good example. As you can see, there were no areas of solid
black and the photo has a lot of white and gray tones, so it came out
well.
Information. However you send the photographs, include some information about the
people and place in the picture. You can type the information into a
word processing program (Word, Works, Word Perfect, etc.) and mail me a
CD or floppy disk with the copies of the photographs. More
information on writing copy.
Contact. However you send the photographs, please include your name and email
address, so you can be listed as the submitter. Also, be sure to
send me your mailing address, too, so I can send the photos back to
you. (Don't laugh, this has happened more than once.)
Where
to send the photos. Email
me for my mailing address.
