If you are new to the Stingrays, you may not know that our End-of-Year (EOY) party and its slideshow are a big part of the tradition. We want to make sure we get EVERY swimmer in the show. We want YOUR swimmer in the show! There are a few people who take pictures of lots of folks, but the only way to be sure is to take a few and send them to me yourself. 

It takes tons of pictures to make our show. And I need them earlier than you might think- especially this year. I have foolishly committed to something else the week of July 23rd through 30th, so I really need the bulk of the show put together and finished by the 22nd. DO NOT WAIT to send me pictures. The more I have and the earlier I have them, the better the show. 

So what do I need?
It's easier to tell you what I do NOT need.  I do NOT need pics of the whole pool, all 6 lanes of the pool, or anything else generic that doesn't identify specific swimmers. I do NOT need mixed batches of pictures that include family photos, etc. I literally go through THOUSANDS of pictures over and over and over again as I seek just the right one and to place them in just the right place, etc.
I need face shots, silly shots, hugs, practice moments, sweet moments, and groups of friends. I need pics of parents working at meets too.

And what is the best way to get it to me?
Do NOT send individual pictures or an email telling me I can use the one you put on Facebook.  It takes time to download each one, time that I just don't have- sorry. I need your photos in a Dropbox or Google Drive so that I can download them all at once. It is OK to send in batches.  For example, if you want to put up a dropbox file for everythinig you have already and then do another one after Thursday's meet, that would be perfect.
You can also bring me a jump drive or disk drive if you prefer, and I'll bring it back to you at the EOY party.

The more pics you take, the better the show!  Keep 'em comin', y'all!

Rays in the water!  Rays on the screen!
