Actually, we do not have the facility on this site to "upload" photos,
so what we need you to do is to send them to Brad Ward, the
www.lhsreunion.org webmaster,
and he will make sure the photos get added to the site.
The easiest way to get the photos to Brad is to email them to him by
clicking here. Email will work as long as you watch and do not send
any more than say 10 megabytes of photos in any single email.
If you have more than 10 megabytes of photos to send in and you do not
want to break them into separate emails, you may want to send them in
using one of the free Internet services that allow you to transfer larger
files. www.sendthisfile.com
and www.wetransfer.com are
two such sites that offer this free service, and there are probably
many others. Membership on file transfer sites like this is
generally free up to some maximum transfer size.
To get your pictures into a single file, you will need to create
what is called a "compressed folder", more commonly known as a "zip"
file. If you have WinZip installed on your computer, then you can
use that. But most folks will not have WinZip, so here is how you
create a zip file on a Windows computer:
- Create a folder on your desktop (for example, ReunionPictures).
- Copy the original files you unloaded
from your camera into this folder.
- Right click on this folder (on your desktop) and when the little
pop-up menu appears, choose "Send to" and then choose "Compressed
(zipped) Folder".
Windows will create the compressed folder, and it will appear on your
desktop as a folder icon, but with a special folder icon. The name of
this compressed folder will be the same name as your original folder
plus ".zip". So in this example, the compressed folder will be named
ReunionPhotos.zip. This "compressed folder" is actually a single
"zip" file. Email that zip file to me. If that .zip file is too large,
send the file to me using one of the services mentioned above.
If all of the above fails, or if you just have a large number of photos
and do not want to even try sending it via the Internet as it would
take too long, you can send in your photos by burning a CD or DVD and
mailing it to Brad. Brad's mailing address is 635 Montauk Way, Alpharetta,
GA 30022.
If you need any help with any of this, as always you can
email Brad.Other Important Notes
- In order to help to better organize the pictures, please take
a few moments and organize your pictures into the following groups:
- General Reunion Pictures (i.e. those from Friday or Saturday
night)
- Parade/Pep-Rally pictures from Saturday morning.
- Class luncheon pictures (please specify which class)
- Other pictures of general interest to all (e.g. pictures
of Leland, pictures of the Delta, etc.
- When you send in pictures, please include your name and your
graduating class.
- We can only accept pictures in the standard jpg format. This
is the format all point and shoot digital cameras use to store the
picture. The higher end digital SLR cameras off REALLY high resolution
picture files such as TIFF and even RAW files. Those type files
are VERY large and cannot be viewed via the normal web browser.
- If you want to send in comments on either a group of your pictures
or even individual pictures, please include those comments when
you send in your pictures, or in an email immediately aftewards.
If your comments are about a group of pictures as discussed above,
be sure and clearly indicate what group the comments go with. If
your comments are about an individual picture, please specify the
file name of the picture the comment goes with (e.g. DSC_5001.jpg).
- The picture files will be renamed as a part of the process of
posting them to the website. Because of this renaming, it will not
be possible to associate comments to pictures using the old file
name once the pictures have been published. So if you want to sent
in comments after you have submitted your pictures, please wait
until your pictures have been posted and then send in the comments
using the new picture file name or the web address of the page that
picture is displayed on.
- Your pictures will NOT appear on the site as soon as you send
them in. They will only appear after our webmaster, Brad Ward, has
had the time to copy them into the proper location on the website
and then publish them out to the website for all to view. Since
Brad also has to work for a living, there may be a day or two delay.
But Brad has promised to do his best to get the pictures and comments
published ASAP!
