Instructions

BY MAIL: If you cannot scan the photos, hard copy is acceptable. Please send copies only, and not your original photographs. If you would like the copies returned, please enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope with the appropriate postage applied. Mail the photos to Roy Busdiecker, 12504 West 123rd St, Overland Park, KS 66213.


VIA THE WEB: A few preparations will make the upload process easy and effective, and add to the value of your photos. You might want to print out these instructions before you begin, so you can refer to them as you work.

1.	Scans or digital photos should be sized to 640 x 480 pixels and in JPEG (.jpg) format if possible, and MUST BE less than 1 megabyte in size.
IF YOU HAVE ONLY ONE PHOTO TO SUBMIT: First rename your photo file so that it includes your name as part of its filename. Click the UPLOAD link at the bottom of this page to go to the Upload page. Use the Browse button to find your photo file on your computer, then click the Upload button. The website will do the rest. When the file has been uploaded, use the SEND FEEDBACK link to tell me that you've sent a photo and to provide names of those pictured. IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE PHOTOS: Use the following instructions as a guide.
2.	Change the filenames of your photo files to something unique to keep them from being overwritten by someone else's upload. A good way to do this is to prefix your initials and birthday (mmddyy) to a sequence number. For example, if your initials are xyz and your birthdate is March 1, 1970, then your files would be named xyz030170_1.jpg xyz030170_2.jpg xyz030170_3.jpg xyz030170_4.jpg xyz030170_5.jpg and so on
3.	Prepare a text file using windows notepad or wordpad. Name the file according to the example above, but without the sequence numbers. In the example case, the file would be named xyz030170.txt
4.	At the beginning of the text file, insert your a. Name b. email address (make sure that it is correct) c. Telephone number d. Postal address It is important that the above information be provided. If there are any questions and we are unable to contact you, we will be unable to use your photos.
5.	In the text file, provide a description of each of the photos. As far as possible, please include date (approximate is ok) and names of any individuals, places, and organizations. If there is a "story" involved, describe it briefly. Continuing the above example, the list should now be similar to that below.
