I need your photographs!!
« on: July 05, 2008, 03:46:36 PM »
Everyone,

I would like to put together a computerized revolving pictorial presentation to be part of Lockwood Internet Base's "Memorial Submarine Display Table" at the 2008 USSVI Convention in September.  I'm hoping this will bring attention to the table and get people to stop for a while to check out what all the table will have to offer.  I am asking anyone and everyone to email me recent (in the last few years) photographs from any of the submarine museum boats, including:

USS Cod (SS-224)
USS Drum (SS-228)
USS Silversides (SS-236)
USS Cavalla (SS-244)
USS Cobia (SS-245)
USS Croaker (SS-246)
USS Bowfin (SS-287)
USS Ling (SS-297)
USS Lionfish (SS-298)
USS Batfish (SS-310)
USS Becuna (SS-319)
USS Clamagore (SS-343)
USS Pampanito (SS-383)
USS Razorback (SS-394)
USS Torsk (SS-423)
USS Requin (SS-481)
USS Marlin (SST-2)   
USS Albacore (AGSS-569)
USS Nautilus (SSN-571)
USS Growler (SSG-577)
USS Blueback (SS-581)
USS Dolphin (AGSS-555)    
U-505 (German)
K-77 (Russian)
B-39 (Russian)
B-427 (Russian)

Please send any photos to SUBMARINEMUSEUMS@Gmail.com and if possible, include the following:
1) Submarine name?
2) What is happening in the photo, or what is the event taking place in the photo, or who is in the photo? (whichever is/are applicable)
2) Who took the photograph? (if you know)
3) When was the photograph taken? (approximately is fine)

Before and after pictures of any restoration effort (painting, cleaning, repairing, etc) will greatly be appreciated.  Special events are a plus too.  Good indoor and outdoor shots are welcomed as well.  Yes, I want any photographs!

I'll accept any and all photographs, but please DO NOT SEND copyrighted photographs unless it has been approved to do so.  Don't worry about size, the bigger the better and I'll resize to what is needed.  The maximum attachment size limit for Gmail is 20 megabytes, so please keep single email attachments to something smaller than that and send multiple emails with attachments if you need to.

If I can keep the filesize small on the end resulting presentation, I hope to make it downloadable to the public.  With your permission I would also like to use any of your photographs on the SUBMARINEMUSEUMS.ORG website.  If you have any questions please ask.

I'll only be able to work with what I'm given, so please send me anything you have.  Once again, the email address is:

SUBMARINEMUSEUMS@Gmail.com

The convention is less than 2 months away!  I'm working with Bill on this.  He's gathering video footage.  Hopefully together we'll be able to put together something snazzy!

I can get you some for the BATFISH.  I have many showing the sub before and after restoration activities.

Are you looking for anything in particular?  Such as 3/4 view, side view, etc...?

And to those of you who received an email newsletter from me about this thread, I am sorry that I revealed the email addresses to all.  That was a major screwup for me.  Hopefully none of you on the list are spammers.

I'll do my best not to mess up like that again.

Nothing in particular.  I'm not picky.  :)  Any photograph you're happy with is fine with me.  I'm not sure what direction I'll go with the thing..I'll have to see how the response is.

Chris, that would be wonderful!  I need some good exterior shots of the Croaker.  To make it even better, if you can take your photos at 1 megapixel or higher up to 5 megapixels, that'd be great!
