Operation Digital Camera: Taking the photos of our troops that the Media won't take.

Posted on 11/25/2005 5:46:20 PM PST by Diva Betsy Ross

I have an idea- why not send some digital cameras over to our guys and gals in Iraq and ask them to send back some photos for us. I will compile a list of people with servers, who will post the photos here at FR- perhaps we could use this thread for a meeting place. My hope is that blogs and friendly media can pick up the photos and spread them around a bit. What we need are:

1)People and organizations who are willing to donate cameras and get them to our troops. 2)Names of people who can receive the cameras over there and who will email the shots back to us. 3) Contacts to get the word out to people who already have digital cameras that we will post them on FR for the world to see. 4)People to bump this thread and pass the idea around.

Screw the media- lets just do the job ourselves.

One of the problems is that each troop is alloted a certain amount of kb per day to transmit. Unless they are at an Internet cafe, they won't want to use their allotment sending pics.

True, but if somebody has a laptop with a CD burner, a CD could be snail-mailed.

Another idea for maybe breaking this up.

get some digitals and some disposable volunteers.

Those that do disposable, they mail the disposable with the addresses of who to mail them back to.

I would be one of the volunteer receivers.

Yes, that is how it would have to be.

No need to thank me, EG. It's all my pleasure. I'd do it again and again and again. That's if I had to do it again, which, of course, I'd do it again.

Thanks for the nice comments. I do appreciate 'em.

:)

In a nut shell just "right click" on any pic
(as long as it is not copyrighted or adult content)
you see on the internet,
===
Here's a little bit I've since learned. But I sure thank Tonk for steering me in the right direction - he schooled me! Now I know how to posts pics!

Do that: right click and then view properties. Cut or copy the FULL link.


And then paste location of the photo at FR. You can post it to FR if you add this:

< *img src=

Before the URL

and close the tag with an * >

Delete * and spaces.

Preview first. You can spot an error beforehand. Just saying, from, my goofups.

That way, linked photos go to the pic's host. Which may or not be there for a long time. If you want to keep the pic beyond their time frame, set up a free account and save it yourself.

:) Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving, there should be a rule that we only have to spend it with fellow patriots and everyone else is on their own.
