As reader's might have noticed, the Bent County Democrat online has changed the look of its Web site. Many of you have commented already that the change is good, but in order to make that look better and more meaningful, the editorial staff is requesting photographs. Lots of photographs.
In a digital age, it's easy for readers to contribute to a paper's Web site by simply e-mailing photographs of what is going on in their lives. Did you go on vacation and want to share your adventures? Send five to eight photos to us. Did your child score big at a city recreation game or another sporting event, or did the team just have a lot of fun playing? Send in some photos. Did some relatives visit from out of town? Maybe your family took them to Bent's Old Fort or to a local restaurant, send in your pictures of the fun you had. Or, maybe you just went for a walk and noticed that the sunset and the scenery was especially beautiful. Send in those pictures.
We also want pictures of events. Many times the Bent County Democrat will send out photographers to cover events like Santa Fe Trail Days, or the fair, but our photographers do not get the event from your perspective. Send in those photos too.
To send in your photographs, e-mail Lola Shrimplin at bcd@ljtdmail.com. Send your photograph in JPG format and be sure to include information about the people in the photo, when and where it was taken, your name and city of residence by Monday morning at 8 a.m. We'll be sure to include your photos in the online edition, and maybe the print edition, of the Bent County Democrat.
We're looking forward to seeing your pics!
