FEAST 2009 PHOTOS NEEDED
The Web Site Office is looking
for high quality, digital photos from the
Feast. We wish to have these in specific
groups of photos:
1] Location shots—landscapes of
the general Feast location---no brethren in
these shots.
2] Meeting hall shots—photos of
the meeting hall and of services—before,
during and after services.
3] Speaker shots---photos of the
individuals who spoke, led music, did
special music, played piano or organ.
4] Event shots: Send in groups:
the picnic, the family night, the raffle,
the Bible bowl, etc.
Send one grouping of shots per
e-mail. Example of Subject line of e-mail.
“Feast Photos – Panama City Beach
– Location shots”
Best to give titles to the photos
rather than the default number the camera
gives the shot. Rather than “IMG_3408.JPG”
make it “Feast09_Kimberling_picnic-008.”
Then using these titles send captions for
each shot:
Example: For
“Feast09_Kimberling_picnic_007” –Mr. Smith
barbequing hamburgers.”
Send the captions in the body of
the e-mail in which you send the digital
photos as attachments. Keep captions very
short. No full names on anyone but
ministers and Mr. Armstrong.
Understand that we may not use
all photos you send. Contact me if you have
questions. Lots of photos to send? Contact
me about putting them on our Dump Site on
the Internet.

is to enable ordinary people to do
extraordinary things.
