Tom Jones International

There’s just one more week to submit your photos for possible use in the 2009 TJI.com fan calendar.

Last year’s first edition (cover photo at left) was a smashing success and has become a collector’s item. We are hoping for the same response this year.

People have asked what kind of photo they can submit. The ground rules are basic. You must have taken the photo yourself or know who took it and gotten permission to submit it. In addition to knowing who took it, we need to know when and where it was taken. For example, the photo at right, ©Lois Gooding, was taken in 1980 in Framingham, MA. It was one of those that, due to the age damage on the photo, we were regretfully unable to use last year.But it certainly is a great shot, isn’t it?

We’re looking for photos from the 1960s through today. We’re especially interested in off-stage shots, as we have plenty of Tom performing. If you just want to send them straight from the digital camera, you can do that, too. You don’t have to run them through a photo program to prepare them.

All photos must be scanned at 300 dpi. If you have files that are too large to send via email, write us and we’ll tell you how to submit them electronically using a website designed for that purpose.

Of course, if a photo you submit is used, you will receive a free calendar.

Please send your submissions to href="http://tomjonesintl.com/wp-admin/post.php#" mce_href="http://tomjonesintl.com/wp-admin/post.php#">tji.com. If you have problems with the photos you wish to submit, please let us know.

And, please, don’t forget to answer our question below in yesterday’s first post about music.
