OGR Christmas photos?

Look for the December issue of OGR Magazine. It is typically chocked full of Christmas layout photos.

Starting around Thanksgiving Day, there is a Christmas Photo Album thread on this Forum that also has many Christmas Layout photos.

How do you submit photos for the Christams  one?

I certainly try to! 

Again, it depends on YOU, the readers, who might be willing to share what you have created.

YOU are the folks who make the magazine what it is.  I'm only there to put things together.

How do I submit photos? 

and what is the deadline to submit for the december issue.

It's already too late for the December issue, which is complete and being prepared for the printer.  I'm now working on January and February.

I prefer to receive possible Christmas/holiday photos and/or article ideas shortly after each holiday is past, although I can certainly take them pretty much through the following summer season.

If you're working on or planning something special for the coming holiday season, certainly keep us in mind for individual photos, a full layout feature, or even a how-to that relates to the holiday season.  Contact me and I'll send you, via e-mail attachment, our Author Guidelines and Photo Tips (compiled by Jim Policastro).

I much prefer photos that have NOT appeared on the forum, for rather obvious reasons.  Do keep that in mind.  Also remember that you will be paid, upon publication, for the published photos and/or article.  A good way to put something away for next year's Christmas Savings Fund.  Photos need to be hi-res JPEGs (preferred) and they can either be sent burned to disc (preferred) or as attachments to e-mail or, in the case of more than a couple or three images, as attachments to multiple e-mails.  By "hi-res," I simply mean largest file size possible, or with the camera set to record the fewest numbers of images.

I NEVER have enough great Christmas features and photos, and am delighted to give the season as much exposure as I possibly can!  After all, Christmas and O gauge go together hand-in-glove.

thanks allan. I would like to submit some picture's of past layouts.

That would be great, Pete!  Always glad to see photos from a fellow dog-lover.

allan,

can you send me the email with all of info needed to submit picture's to you.

thanks.

Yep. I can't find an email link for you Allan. How do I find it?

http://www.ogaugerr.com/railroad/contact.php

My e-mail should show up in my profile on the right hand side (part of Extended Profile).  If it doesn't, something's amiss.

It is:  editor@ogaugerr.com

You can also get to it via the link Mark posted (above).

I just sent you an email about an hour ago. 

thanks mark for the info

Pete:

The requested info is on its way to you.

Al, can you send the info to : Boatlandmore At aol Dot com? Thanks a lot.

I just sent the requested info to Railroaded.

Nope, nothing showed up in my inbox.

Your e-mail bounced back twice as undeliverable.  Send me an e-mail at editor@ogaugerr.com and I will send you the items you requested.

Allan, I've contemplated sending in a picture or 2 in the past of my Christmas layout, but since I rarely have actual winter/Christmas scenes on it I felt that my pictures really don't fit the theme of the magazine spread.

Is there "room" to show non-winter Christmas type layouts.  It's almost a separate category in a way though, which, again, is why I've never submitted any.
