LOOKING FOR F8 PICS!!!

Post by Pufferpunk »

FAMA is going to publish my most recent article on figure 8s! Now they need pics. They must be good, clear, SHARP pics, showing a cute face or side view. They have to be magazine quality. 35 mm slides are great but digitals are fine too. Digitals need to be large (at least 5 by 7 inches) at a resolution of 300 dots per inch. They need to be of good contrast and in sharp focus. I can play around with them a bit on Photoshop too.

Any photos submitted by you would be strictly as a courtesy on your part (no pay, sorry). FAMA will give you a photo credit in the magazine, of course.

Actually, those are quite good! Nice & sharp. Did you tell him to pose for you? I would need you to email the digital image & I'll send it to the publishers. I'll PM you my email addy. Keep shooting, your puffer could be famous!

Email sent.
It's not so much that they're posing, but rather thinking the camera could be puffer goodies :)

Hmm, that's weird. I tried sending it again.
If that doesn't go through, here's links to the unedited originals -

Sorry Cory, even looked in my Bulk mail for today. Check my email addy again. I'd much rather have your edited copies. Hurry up though, I already sent him Mike's but I'd like him to see yours too--they're good!

Mike, The editor likes your pics & if he uses any will pay the going rate. I'm sure he'll contact you by email, as I forwarded the entire thing to him, so he has your addy now.
