Hello Coral-listers,
I am putting together a traveling outreach photo exhibit displaying some
of the more impressive photographs of understudied
species—invertebrates, algae and microbes. I would like for this exhibit
to show photos from an array of coral reef scientists (to celebrate your
efforts). I may not be able to use everyone's photos for this, but I
could still put them on the Census of Marine Life, Census of Coral Reef
Ecosystems (CReefs) website (www.creefs.org <http://www.creefs.org>)
which is being revamped and use them toward other outreach purposes as
well. Furthermore, we may be able to have an exhibit at the upcoming
Census of Marine Life Decade of Discovery events in London
(www.coml.org)--if so, I would bring this exhibit and also make outreach
postcards of some of your work. So, if you have some spectacular images
that you think fit this need, please send me the following:
1) 1-3 spectacular high resolution photographs that you have taken (in
particular, ones that would really catch the public's eye and if
possible, have an interesting story behind them (ie description)). I
will need to be able to blow them up to 24 x 36 and 36 x 48 inches (in
that range anyway)--so they need to already be fairly large, best
quality possible, at least 300 dpi, crisp (esp blown up), and really
cool to look at.
2) 1-3 sentences about the organism(s)--as interesting for the public as
possible
3) Photo info including credit, affiliation, your focus of study and
location, year taken, location found (and anything else you would like
on there)
4) 3-5 sentences about yourself (perhaps about how you came into your
field, why you are interested in what you study, etc)
5) Please make a statement in your e-mail allowing NOAA PIFSC and CReefs
to use these photographs for outreach and education purposes (only).
*Due date: August 4^th , 2010 for Photo Exhibit and website; *September
10^th , 2010 for website only
