Fan Gallery Expansion

Rev. 13-Mar-2002 gallery@scifiinc.org

• List #1 - Active fans we'd like to add
• List #2 - Inactive fans (deceased) who we might want to include if we can find good photos to remember them by
• "Lost List" - people from List #1 that we have no idea where to find.
• Captions Needed - people already in the Fan Gallery who are listed as "data in process" or "data in progress."
• Photography Schedule - where to find a Fan Gallery photographer

If you would like to suggest someone to be included, please send e-mail to us at gallery@scifiinc.org.

No expenses will be paid out or reimbursed without prior approval from the SCIFI Treasurer. Please don't spend anything "on spec."

If you mail us a 5x7, we may want to use it as-is. If you mail us a smaller snapshot (such as a 4x6), we may enlarge it at the corner drugstore magic photo machine - let us know if you want the snapshot back. Or if you like, you can ask for the "Photo CD" when you have your film developed, and we'll use that.

• Who is it?
• Given a choice, and all other things being equal, we like seeing their face and eyes. Candid shots or a posed shot with something appropriate in the background are preferred to straight head-and-shoulders photos.
• Is it in color? print film or digital?
• Do you have a Photo CD you can send us?
• Is it a digital picture? Megapixel or better? High resolution?
• When was it taken (month/year)?
• Is it an individual photo? Not a group shot, and preferably nobody in the background either.
• If you're taking pictures of married couples, we'd like a single photo of each as well as a photo of both.
• Is it sharp and in focus, not overexposed or underexposed?
• Vertical format is slightly preferred over horizontal, if you're comfortable shooting with the camera sideways. We can display more photos per row if more of them are vertical format, and the vertical format usually [not always] results in less "wasted space" on the left and right that doesn't relate to the subject.
• Note for digital photographers: We usually lose about 10% off of the long dimension and 20% off of the short dimension by the time we crop it to 5"x7" proportions and frame it. So please don't zoom in too close, and please don't crop the image before sending it to us.
• Did you take it? May we display it in the Fan Gallery?
• Do we have permission to use it on the website as well?
• Do you want your photo back, or may we keep/discard it?

Our mailing address is: FAN GALLERY c/o BADEN, PO BOX 17522, Anaheim CA 92817-7522, USA. Unsolicited photos sent at your own risk. Sending us photos does not guarantee we'll use any of them. Please e-mail us first at gallery@scifiinc.org.
