Photos for the 2008 NSS Members Manual Cover Wanted
by Meredith Hall Johnson
2008 Members Manual Editor
It's time to start putting together the 2008 issue of
the NSS Members Manual. I am looking for a cover
photograph and need your help. Please send me a
small-sized photo via e-mail (to merecaver@yahoo.com)
before the deadline, which is February 1, 2008.
Photos can come from anyone who is an NSS member
(please include your number with your e-mail). Photos
that have been previously published in NSS
publications are NOT eligible. Photos that have been
entered in the Photo Salon at Convention are eligible.
Pretty much any caving photo is okay to enter. More
than five entries must be sent to me on a CD (these
can and should be high resolution): Meredith Hall
Johnson, 8061 Kittiwake CT, Springfield, VA 22153.
Anything sent or postmarked after February 1 will not
be considered. Please spread the word around to all
your grotto members. The only stipulations are that
cavers in the photo cannot be easily identified, nor
any "bad" caving practices illustrated, such as
someone touching a formation or not wearing a helmet.
Whoever gets their photo chosen gets to write a short
biography for page 1 of the publication. How cool is
that? Start looking through your cave photos now!
Last year's front cover photo was by a caver in Alaska
who had not done much cave photography before, but
took a very cool photo--remember the ice cave shot? So
you never know whose photo will get picked, but it
sure won't be yours if you don't submit it!
Thanks.
Please pass this along to all cavers! Thanks!!
