[Leica] LUG Book 2015 - I need your support

[richard at richardmanphoto.com (Richard Man)]

Alright - if no one else steps forward, I will take over the LUG book 2015
task. I will contact Jim and Geoff and get the information.

*ONE ADDITIONAL RULE:** No whining and no rudeness.* Any more transgression
after one warning, I will drop and block you.

I will take contribution starting from (now) to midnight PST Dec 15, 2015. 
*No
exceptions.*

The rest is mostly lifted from Geoff's message from last year, with one
minor change of the charity.

****
It will follow the same format that Jim Shulman and Geoff Hopkinson used
for previous editions. The address contribution is
richard at richardmanphoto.com <hopsternew at icloud.com>

This will be a non-profit, not juried/judged compilation of photos by any
interested photographer. Anyone may contribute and any brand of
equipment may be used. Please send photos that you have made during 2015.
There will be no obligation to buy the book which will be
published by Blurb and there will be hardcover, softcover printed versions
offered and an eBook for iPad. There will be a small surcharge only applied
for each purchase. For 2015 this will be the Second Harvest Food Bank in
the Silicon Valley. While a 3-bedroom starter home starts at 1.5 million
USD in Palo Alto, there are people who do not have enough to eat, even here.

*Please send two image files, ideally as attachments to one or two  email
messages.* Be aware that some email clients may reduce the sizes of images
within messages by default.

Ideal image files are JPEG files around 2000 to 3000 pixels on the long
side with file sizes of 1 to 2 megabytes. The sRGB color space
will be used when they are reproduced.

The book will be in our usual 10 inches x 8 inches (20x25cm) landscape
layout. Whether in landscape or portrait orientation your images will not
be cropped or altered by the editor. They will be fitted into the standard
image layouts used. The Blurb software will size the images
to fit.
Midnight PST
For the left hand page that will be a box 2680 pixels wide and 2250 pixels
high with a plain margin or as a full bleed image (with small
overlap of edges) of 2888 pixels wide x 2475 pixels high.

For the right hand page that will be a box 1500 pixels wide x 1796 pixels
high (for a portrait orientation) or 2271 pixels wide x 1588
pixels high (for a landscape orientation). Both right hand page options
leave room for a single caption for both images underneath.

In the text of your email, *please provide a single caption for both
images. *This will be your name, and preferably a title for each
image. You may also like to include details of the equipment or similar
*short *comment. Here is an example:

*Firstname Lastname*  Opposite: 'left image title'  Leica M3, Elmar 50 f/3.5
