Purchase Photo Prints Online to benefit Band Boosters
I set up an online photo store containing photos from Auburn and Everett competitions. Go to the WVHS Marching Band 2006 photo gallery to see the photos.
Click on any image in the Gallery (there is more than one page) to see a larger image.
If you wish to purchase a high quality glossy print, click on Buy Prints/Gifts at the bottom of any photo and then choose your desired enlargment size: 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, 16x24, plus options to buy a photo place on the side of a coffee mug or t-shirt. Photo printing and the online service is provided by a company named Exposure Manager, who will mail prints after ordering.
All Everett and Auburn images were shot with a 8 megapixel Canon. Pasco photos (not yet uploaded) were taken with a 4 megapixel camera.
All original images are in the standard 3:2 aspect ratio, just like 35mm film cameras. But only the 4x6 print size has the same aspect ratio. If you order an enlargment (5x7, 8x10, 16x20), the print will be scaled (not cropped) to fit on the desired size sheet. So you will have some "white space borders" on, for example, an 8x10 print.
How this works
I set up this online photo store so that each time a print is purchased, a portion of the price goes to my account and I will then donate 100% of the earnings to the band boosters. This will not make a lot of money (unless we buy a lot of prints!). We will make about 45 cents for each 4x6 print, about $2 for each 8x10, and so on. This is not an official band boosters activity but is run by me (we discussed a similar concept in a band boosters meeting a few months back) - so all risk is assumed by me, and not the band boosters. If this works and raises a few dollars, great. If not, nothing major is lost. So consider this an experiment in Band Boosters online commerce!
