Events 11/9/09

Hi all,

Hope everyone’s enjoying the very mild weather we’re experiencing. November in Buffalo? Extreme Makeover picked a great week to bring their cameras to town.

I have to begin on a very serious note: I can’t stress this enough. Titles and descriptions on photos taken at all events are so important. Too many times people are posting photos with IMG and a number, and this will not be able to help people as they’re searching their photos. Many of these have been posted in the last month. Same thing goes for indescript titles like “Time-Out” or “Net Down”. A better title is “Time Out at the BSC Hockey Game”.

Along with titles and descriptions – PLEASE make sure all your photos are in sets, again this will mean problems for people when they try to search for their photos.

If you’re experiencing any issues with the multi-media uploader, or need a link to it please let me know.

We’ve received a special request to cover a BSC Sorority event on Sunday, please let me know if you’re interested (all the info is below).

When you request events, please don’t reply to this email, simply send me a separate email with information on the event you’re requesting.

Thank you!
