I've been taking and collecting
photos for some of these 2014 Seniors since they were in elementary. For a few
others, this senior group photo taken 10/29/2013
may be the first time they have been before my lens. By the time the 2014 grad
pages (one for each graduate) go online at www.cvilleok.com on May 1, 2014,
I will hopefully have a representative set of photos for each summarizing their
Collinsville school experience. In order for those pages to be the best they
can be, I could use the help of each student and/or parent over the next few
months.
Photos from students
and parents I need additional photos submitted to me (wrightted@aol.com)
that I wouldn't already have from CHS sports, band, or other activities which
you see updated daily on cvilleok. These photos can be of any (family friendly)
subject ...including work, hobby, car, pet, family, friends, favorite teacher,
church, scouts, ... etc. Please, I can't accept any
more than ~6 submitted photos per senior. The sooner I get them,
the more time I have to organize and edit them into place. If you take an
additional "favorite" photos later, you can still send that along
also. I have draft pages started for this year's students (only on my computer
until May). I hope to meet with each senior in the coming weeks to show the
progress so far (2nd grade through 7th grade years photos so far from cvilleok)
and ask them for photos and suggestions. If you have prints but no scanner
or email ... let me know.
Advertisements &
Family Messages: Starting with the 2012 pages I no longer sell advertisements
for senior pages but will accept (for free) brief congratulations messages
from family sent via email (but keep them very brief please). And there is
never a cost to students or parents for these pages.
Note: These pages
have typically had photos of the student only ... but I'm always happy to
receive photos, art work, messages, etc created by the student also to improve
the uniqueness of their pages.
Note: I have the
junior yearbook (LifeTouch) photos for seniors already on their pages. If
you have senior photos (or cap & gown photos) made elsewhere please send
me a copy of your favorite. If you want me to take one (for free) just let
me know, but note I am not a fancy portriat photographer.
Facebook: I've
been on Facebook for a few years now and have been friended by a remarkable
number of CHS students. I don't ask to be friends, but accept when I recognize
a Collinsville student (or parent). I have been fasciniated by the variety
of photos that I have seen of (& by) many of you. When I see a good Facebook
photo I might add to the student's page but they are welcome to replace if
they don't like my choice.
