[Grogospeak] Technique photo contests! WIN 50 BUCKS! - and submitting digital pics

[tnq-foto@MIT.EDU]

Yes, it's true!  Technique is offering _three_ separate photography contests
for the 2007 book.  The winner of each contest will get their work published
in the book and will receive _50 bucks cash_.

The three contests are: Extreme Photography, Artistic Expression, and
Essence of MIT.

Submissions must be received by New Years Day!  If this sounds appealing to
you, which it should, read all about it here:

------------------

On a different note, people have been asking for a way to submit digital
photos from the comfort of their room, instead of bringing a disc or a hard
drive to the office on Saturdays.  Well, we got a solution set up!

Open your favorite FTP software and point it to "grogo-store.mit.edu" (if
that doesn't work, try 18.187.3.75).  The username is "staph" and the
password is "velvia".  Make yourself a folder inside the /public folder, so
you'll store all your stuff in /public/FirstLast.  Subfolders inside your
named folder are optional, but you may want to use them to organize your
stuff if you're submitting a lot.

Notes:
1) Don't put anything in the /staph folder, cause we wont find it.
2) If you're planning on uploading A LOT, i.e. dozens and dozens of
gigabytes, ask first... not that we discourage submitting lots of stuff.
3) Be a friendly FTPer :)  Don't go downloading other people's stuff, cause
it's someone else's property!
4) Eventually, we'll clear stuff out of these folders and move it to our
more official "Camera Dump".  So if you see you're stuff missing, assume we
moved it.

We hope all of you uploading from home will still come in on Saturdays and
chill with us.  And, of course, we still love people that use film.  In
fact, we're making a huge B&H order soonish.  We hope all the film that
people have been taking will come back to us in the next month or two with
lots of exposures on them :)
