We are planning to produce an updated Church Picture Directory this Fall. The format for this directory will be similar to the previous one with addresses, home phone number, cell phone numbers and a family picture. Given the difficulties created by Covid-19 and the Delta Variant, the preferred method this year to gather photos is for everyone to submit a family “Selfie” in lieu of posing for a picture. (See PicTips below).
However, for those folks who prefer the more traditional approach to getting photographed, Frank and/or Glenda Koues will be clicking away in the Fellowship Hall 30 minutes before and 30 minutes following each Sunday Service on: August 22, August 29 and September 05. Also, Glenda is available on Mondays and Wednesdays in the Church Office and can take pictures.
PicTips
- Use your cellphone’s front camera. The picture is not going to be published in “Vogue” so the front camera will provide amply pixels for our needs.
- For consistency, landscape (sideway) is preferred. However, portrait (vertical) will be accepted. (Actually, just about anything will be accepted!)
- Remember that the goal is to show your family unit. 80%+ of the picture, therefore, should be people! Also, try not to have windows and or lamps in close proximity as they will wash out the picture.
- Remember this is the family so add kids, grand-kids, great grand-kids, etc., if you so desire.
- Forward the picture to frank@waleskaumc.org. Don’t worry about picture size, # of pixels etc. We will cut, paste, crop, and enhance as needed.
Here is an example of a simple “selfie” that would be usable for the Directory. Time required to take and email less than 5 minutes.
