You can send us your digitized photos in any
format. However, if possible please use the JPEG format. (The file name extension
will be .jpg.)
Please include as much information as possible with your
photos. However, if you have very little information about your pictures,
please send them in anyway. After we post them others may be able provide more
information when they see your photos here.
You can "snail mail" copies of your photos on
floppy disks to us at: Company 169 Photos, C/O Jim Rassbach, POB 513, Port Angeles, WA
98362. We will not be able to return your disks however, sorry. Please send as
much information about your photos as possible.
The easiest way to get your pictures here is to have them
scanned and e-mail them to us as an attachment to an e-mail message.
If you do not have a scanner yourself you might have to
consult the neighborhood teenage computer garu on the exact steps (like I
did). However, we will try to give you enough information here to get
you started.
Most towns have a copy shop such as Kinkos or a camera
shop that will scan a print for you. The important thing to remember is to have your
pictures scanned at a low resolution. All computer monitors cannot display anything
over about 72 DPI (Dots per Inch) anyway. If you are having the scans made for you,
just tell the shop that the scans are for a Web page and to scan them at about that
resolution. That will help keep the file sizes smaller and quicker to e-mail them to
us.
Once you have your photos scanned, it is easy to attach
them to an e-mail message and send them to us. Most e-mail programs will have an
option to attach a file to your letter.
Using Microsoft OUTLOOK EXPRESS for an example:
Most other e-mail programs are similar. If
you have some questions please contact our Web snipes
.
Note: Some e-mail services have a
limit on the size of the file you can send and receive. Therefore, it is best you
send only one photo per e-mail message. That will be better for us anyway as we are
also looking for the information you send with each photograph. We are easily
confused.
Please include all the information you can, particularly
as to whom is visible in the photo. The year the photo was taken and where is always
nice to know. We have placed a form on the Send Info
page you can use as a guide.
If you do not have much information, send the photo
anyway! Tell us your best guess at what year it is from so we can post it.
Others may be able to write us and let us know who is shown in the photo, etc. Use
the Send Info page to let us know what you know about photos
that you see posted here.
If you would rather you could make a copy of the photo
files on a floppy disk and send them to us at: Company 169, C/O Jim Rassbach, Post
Office Box 513, Port Angeles, WA 98362 Please note that we will be unable to return
your disk.
Thanks for taking the time to send us your photos.
We hope you enjoy the Company 169 online reunion.
