YOUR PHOTOS FOR OUR MOSAIC PROJECT

SUBMISSION PERIOD FOR PHOTOS FOR THE MOSIAC IS NOW CLOSED.

Dear Friends,

It is time to start collecting the wonderful pictures of you!

Here are some things to keep in mind while exercising your own creativity. Your photo in the mosaic will be small. If you want Leonard to be able to recognize your face if one day he sees you on the street, you need to send a head shot like this:

However, perhaps you want to be a bit creative and send a message to Leonard about what his music means to you or what your favorite song is or say something more about yourself than can be shown in a simple head shot. In that case, you might consider wearing a hat in honor of Our Man's love of hats or a costume or clothing to represent one of his songs (does anyone have a blue raincoat?). You can also do an over-the-shoulder shot where you look back over your shoulder towards the camera or some other unique pose. Be creative but remember the idea behind this is to show Leonard all his many fans, so pictures of objects won't work. Finally, what is most important about any photo you send is that it be clear and crisp.

Because many are not Photoshop wizards, we will have people who will try to adjust your photo to fit the requirements below. We can do some cropping of photos to make them square. However, we cannot make a blurry picture clear.

Here are the basic requirements for your photo:

1. The photo should be square or as square as possible.

2. The photo can be any size as long as the file size is between 100KB and 1MB.

3. The photo can be in the following formats: jpeg, jpg or bmp.

4. Your photo should have the file name of your full name. For example: jarkkoarjatsalo.jpg.

5. The photo should be in color only.

6. The photo should be a clear, crisp shot of you.


Send your photos to this email address as an attachment and include your full name in the email:

cohenfanphoto@yahoo.com

You will receive a response that your photo has been received. DO NOT SEND ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR CONCERNS TO THIS EMAIL ADDRESS.

If you need to correspond with someone, send all your questions or concerns to Marie at:

megan2c2b@aol.com

If your photo meets all the requirements, it will be included in the mosaic. If your photo needs adjustments, Laura and Pam will attempt to make those adjustments. If your photo CANNOT be adjusted to meet the requirements, you will receive an email from me telling you what the problem is. In this case, we will do our best to assist you in producing a photograph that can be used in the mosaic. If you do not hear from me, you may assume that your photo will be part of the mosaic.

August 31, 2009 is the deadline for sending your photo.

So now, it is up to all of you to make Leonard's birthday greeting a true keepsake. It has been all fun to date, now it's time to get to work!

Marie

Marie,

Thank you so much for the update! OMG...now I'm going to have to become a model have all these cool photos taken! Problem is...I was much more photogenic 20 years ago. But....who cares. This is for Leonard, and that is what is most important! This is so exciting and I am looking forward to seeing the finished result. What awesome talent we have on the Forum! Hmm...where can I find a fedora?

All the best,
Diana

Ah, donalagata....that is truly a lovely photo! Leonard will probably scan the mosaic...stop, and say.."just WHO is this!".

The more ordinary photos will follow.... :D 8) ;-)

Lucky you! Spare a thought for those of us who have never been photogenic. :cry:

Ahhh, hydriot - at least you have got the music! And I am sure that you have got much more besides, being the kind, considerate person you are... So just forget about "photogenic"! BTW: I am sure you are, anyway - and are just being modest here... ;-)

I just submitted my picture for the birthday project, and am feeling a bit insecure now!! LadyDi, you have seen donalagata's photo, and it's very attractive, eh? Mine is pretty simple and straightforward, but I'm told it does look like me. And true, true, whatever we look like, "we still have the music" ;-)

Mainly, we want a fine finished product to give to our hero Leonard for his birthday, and I'm happy to be part of this! Thank you for giving all of us this opportunity.

Our opened hearts give us the ability to have wonderful friendships and bonds which can last a life time. We posess the strength and the ability to survive any obstacle which may be place in front of us. We are ALL BEAUTIFUL, divine women and on this forum we are a kindred spirit because of our love and appreciation for Leonard.

Very nice hat, Stergiana! :-)

Dick, you're one of the few precious men... I wonder what's going on, are men too shy to be photographed?! :?
