Contributor
Maybe we werent clear when we started talking about the Chamber Day book. We need photos both above AND below the water, since the event happens in both places. And we need photos from both Chamber Day AND Chamber Eve. We need LOTS of photos. The books going to be close to 100 pages.
The deadline for submissions is tomorrow (Tuesday, May 8) at the end of the day. If you cant get it done by then, let us know ASAP either by calling us at 310/652-4990 or e-mailing us at chamberday@aol.com. If youd like to arrange to drop them off to us directly in Westwood, that can also be arranged by contacting us directly.
Youre welcome (and encouraged, actually) to crop, adjustment exposure, and clean up the shots in whatever way you like. So give us your best version for each image you submit. Theres no limit on the number of shots you can submit but please dont just send us everything you shot. Pare them down. But dont feel like you should just send us two or three. The more the merrier.
Everyone submitting at least one image will be entered in a special raffle. Well draw three names and each winner will receive a $100 gift certificate courtesy of Samys Camera and you can use that to add to or improve your photography through Samys whatever way you desire.
