when is picture day?

Today! Every day is picture day



Btw... please no photos from Facebook people! Facebook breaks down the photos you upload into a smaller resolution/file size unless you specify otherwise.

Yearbook photo. Just like in highschool.

C'mon people.... send in your photos!



DO NOT "SUBMIT" A PHOTO UNTIL YOU READ *ALL* OF THE INFORMATION RIGHT HERE... IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS PROPERLY, WE CAN NOT USE YOUR PHOTOS! Please click "see more" below.

The Wishlist Foundation is sponsoring the development of “The 2011 Pearl Jam Fan Yearbook,” which is a physical memento and tribute to Pearl Jam fans, the music, the tour memories, and Pearl Jam's history over the past 20 years. To our knowledge,... this type of thing has never been done before, for any band, so we’re all very excited! As the Class Editors, Colleen & Selin want to tell you more about this project and our piece of it...

You, the FANS, are a dynamic, interesting, & diverse part of Pearl Jam’s 20-year history. Not unlike a high school yearbook, our book will have several unique sections to thumb through, and one of them will be “Class Photos.” Well guess what, YOU are a class member! By being a Pearl Jam fan, you are an important part of their history, and we want to honor each and every one of you! We strongly encourage every person in the Pearl Jam fan community to get involved, and this is the first simple step...

We hereby invite ALL Pearl Jam fans to participate, by submitting a photo (a.k.a. “mugshot”) of yourself to be included in the yearbook’s “Class Photos” section!!!

SUBMISSION OF YOUR PHOTO AND INFORMATION IS TOTALLY ***FREE*** so just follow the steps below:

______________________________________________________________________

1) Please READ the steps below before actually doing them. You will need to take a proper photo, have it ready for upload, and have the requested information gathered / ready for submission.

2) Go to https://www.yearbookordercenter.com/ and enter order # 13732, then click “Continue.” (If this link is not working for you, please look to the comments below for an alternative link.)

3) Click “Upload Photos” on the right, then click “Yes” to continue to eShare.

4) Enter your info, read and agree to the terms & conditions, and click “Browse for Images.”

5) Select your personally-owned portrait from your hard-drive or other media. GUIDELINES:
-we strongly recommend you take a NEW pic, so that it’s current and meets these specifications
-shoot it with the camera settings on HIGH RES/LARGE format
-high quality image, meaning UNCOMPRESSED or low-compression
-cropped LOOSELY to a 2:3 (or 4:6 - they are both acceptable) ratio, in a vertical (portrait) position
-at LEAST 900 pixels wide by 1350 pixels tall AFTER cropping, the larger the better
-you should be the ONLY person in the photo
-it should be relatively RECENT... we're not looking for your 3rd grade elementary school pic with your front teeth missing
-head and shoulders only, facing front, hands should not be showing
-wearing appropriate and tasteful attire
-taken in front of a solid-colored background, if possible
-make sure it is actually IN FOCUS
-cross between a passport photo and a yearbook pic, make it nice
-do NOT crop too tightly, as we will need some room to edit for uniformity
-photos that do not meet the above criteria can not be used in the yearbook
-learn more about image size & quality here: http://www.microscope-microscope.org/im ... lution.htm, but disregard the grid at the bottom, because we will be aiming to print at a 300 DPI/PPI resolution

And of course, SEND INVITES for this event out to EVERY PEARL JAM FAN YOU KNOW! We need to SPREAD THE WORD! This project is for ANY & ALL PEARL JAM FANS!

Your photos and information will be kept strictly confidential and will ONLY be used for this yearbook project. The only people with access to them are the Wishlist Foundation’s yearbook staff. Our goal is to have this project completed by this summer so that yearbooks may be distributed in time for the 20th anniversary “Weekend Bash,” where you can bring it along and have your fellow fans autograph their photos (and you can autograph your own, in their yearbooks!). While we *hope* that people who make submissions will also be interested in buying the final product, it is not mandatory. Again, your participation is *FREE*, and it will cement your name and face in the tangible pages of Pearl Jam’s history!

***Be on the lookout for further announcements, coming soon, about candid / group / general photos submissions. And in the near future, our staff may also be requesting other yearbook contributions, such as stories and research articles.***
