To the Official Photographers of those Shrine Temples attending CSSA in 2009

Hosted by the Al Kaly Shriners in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Greetings ! You have been assigned as the Official Photographer of your Shrine, and your best photos will be used for publication for your own Shrine newsmagazine. If you would also be interested in having your photos specifically used for the DVD “Movie” presentation that will be made for other Shrine Temples hosting future CSSA conventions, then I would be very pleased to have you consider the following suggestions:

1. Make sure that your digital camera is set at the HIGHEST quality possible. If you are in E-Mail mode, please change it to the highest mode available and keep it there forever. This is because Editors and Graphic Designers can only use high resolution files.
   
   
2. After you take those award-winning photos, please copy them to a CD or DVD, and then mail that disk to the Al Kaly Shrine office at:
   
   Al Kaly Shriners
   635 W. Corona Avenue - #120
   Pueblo, Colorado 81004
   
   
3. If you have only a few photos, (no more than 10) then please up-load your photos to my Internet gallery site. I have established a “CSSA Open Photos” album on my site for you to up-load your photos, and they will then be burned to a CD or DVD from there and then placed in a “movie presentation” for the future hosts of CSSA.
   
   Simply fire up your computer, get on the Internet and then type in this address: http://gallery.me.com/rlbills   Please, do not use WWW – or Google or Yahoo for your URL navigation, but only the “normal” Internet Explorer Browser for Windows, or Safari for Apple/Mac.
   
   
4. Soon you will come to my site. The faster the computer processor chip, the better. Once you are connected, snoop around the main gallery page, and you will see “CSSA Open Photos” album. Left-Click only once on that album. It will then open up so you can see all of the photos in there. At the top-middle of the page, you will see a series of icons: Download, Subscribe, Upload – etc. Click on the UPLOAD icon. You will then be directed to type in your name – your e-mail address – and to also type in a “code”.
   
   Once you have done that, then you click on Choose Files. You will then have to navigate to where you have your photos stored on your own computer or thumb drive. If you have multiple photos you want to upload, then for an Apple computer you hold down the COMMAND button, and left-click on each of your photos. If you have a PC, then it is the CONTROL (CTRL) button, and left-click on each photo. When you are finished with your selections, left-click on the SELECT button, and you are done. Everything else will be taken care of automatically…
   
   Then please e-mail the Al Kaly DUST photographer at: Lapaka@comcast.net and give us your captions, names of people in your photographs, descriptions of the events you covered, all necessary and/or interesting photographic information, and ESPECIALLY your name so you can get photo credit!
