Picture this ...
We published our first photo to the editor today and we've had a number of inquiries about the new feature.
Some guidelines we didn't make clear in our initial invitation for visual commentary from our readers:
1. Photos that "read" well small and that are tightly composed work best, since the amount of space for photo letters is limited.
2. Please do not Photoshop or otherwise technically alter photos. We prefer photos of real subjects unaided by digital manipulation.
3. Explain clearly what and who the photos depict. If the photo depicts more than one person, identify them all and include full names.
4. Candid photos are more interesting than posed photos.
5. Photos of large groups of people are discouraged.
Please keep 'en coming and let us know if you have additional questions or ideas.
