The World Wide Web makes it possible for us to use our digital cameras to very quickly share with our fellow classmates some photographs from the 35th reunion and other OHS68 events.

There are 2 ways for you to get your digital pictures to us for inclusion on the website:

If you have a *lot* of photos, then the preferred method is for you to burn all of them onto a cd, then mail it to us -- see below (#2) for more info about that;
...or...

You can follow the directions at #1 immediately below and upload them yourself to the OHS directory. This method requires you to have some basic computer/graphic editing skills -- if so, it will only take a couple minutes.

As our time allows, we will individually add the pictures from the cd's or from the uploading to OHS68.com pages for everyone's enjoyment. I'll do the required image preparation and will let you know when the pictures are on the website ready to view.

We do have one very important request however...

Please do *NOT* email us any images!!

Our email filtering software is configured to zap all graphics, so it will simply delete whatever is sent, and we won't even see them.

Method 1 -- Uploading the digital photos

In order for this uploading to work properly, you must do it correctly (it's real simple, however it might be helpful to print out this page for ongoing reference). If you've done any graphics work at all, you'll find this extremely easy, as there are only 2 changes that you are doing: re-sizing & re-naming each image prior to uploading. That's all there is to it.

Here is the direct uploading procedure:

1. To start, view your pictures on your own computer so you can eliminate the ones that are too dark or out of focus. Note that when you use this upload feature, your pictures are NOT actually removed from your harddrive -- it is a copy that is placed in the OHS directory. However if you intend to do any graphic manipulation of your photos (resizing, retouching, etc) it is always a good idea to first make copies of the originals, and save them into a separate folder called something like "OHS Pics". That way, your masters will be untouched. If your photos are in focus and only a little too dark, please DO send them, as I can lighten them in PhotoShop!

2. We are initially asking everyone to only upload 8 images. If you have more than 8 good shots available, then we'd be happy to have you add additional ones after we retrieve the first set.

3. The perlscript we are using for this uploading feature will allow you to upload in the .jpg format only (lowercase). Therefore, .jpeg will *not* work; nor will .gif, .bmp, .tiff, .pict, or .png. Almost all digital cameras can save the images as .jpg's -- just make sure it is lowercase, and not .jpeg (if it is, you can easily re-name it).

4. Name each image in this manner: yourlastname1.jpg ; yourlastname2.jpg ; yourlastname3.jpg ... etc.   Example: reynolds1.jpg ; reynolds2.jpg.   Note that it is all lowercase with NO spaces.

5. If you followed the instructions above, then each of your digital photos will most likely be well under 100k in size. (NOTE: The upper-end allowable file size limit per .jpg for uploading is 240 KB).

6. If you have your first eight images in your "OHS Pics" folder on your own harddrive, then whenever you click one of the "Browse" buttons below, you should navigate directly to that folder and select one of your .jpg photos. You can do all 8 of the pictures, then press "Submit" just one time.

   (Important Note!  If you get an error message or one that says "invalid referrer", then temporarily turn off your firewall for a few minutes).
