Post here questions specifically about photographing your pieces for this selection process, where to send them, technical questions about things like quality & resolution, etc.
Please do not post here actual photographs, or questions about pieces, but it would be OK to post a photograph is the purpose is to ask if the layout or resolution/quality is acceptable. Remember: the photographs that will appear in the catalogue will be taken by the Museum, so your photographs do not have to meet those exacting standards. Before posting here, however, please read my Welcome post up at the top of the forum, including the instructions page linked in it near the bottom. Last edited by Mark; 4th January 2007 at 07:34 PM.

Just to get a few things in one place, here are some of Antonio's instructions on this topic, pulled from parts of other posts.

The lengths needed will be in centimeters not inches . I measured my pieces to the nearest eighth of an inch . Since most online conversion programs are set up as decimal systems (ie 1 1/2 " = 1.5 ") I gave my 1/8th increments a decimal value of 1/8" = .12 ; when this formula is used it comes to within 4 one hundredths of an inch , ie .96 . This makes the math a little easier if you don't have a tape in centimeters ; and what's .04" between friends .

Well...er....some of my pictures are not that large, in fact very small, but the only ones I have until sometime next year when I have steady money.
