The Advocate wants a photo of your life on that single day, May 21-with your family or friends or on your own, at work or at play, on your adventures or experiencing a quiet moment of solace-anything from the mundane to the insane, from the glamorous to the gritty. The best photographs taken on that single day in the United States will be featured in a photo essay called "A Day in Gay America," on Advocate.com and in the August 2010 issue of
The Advocate.
You don't need to be a professional photographer! Just make a note on your calendar, get your cameras ready, and on May 21 take a self-portrait or have a friend take a photograph of you, doing anything that says something about who you are as an LGBT American.
The instructions are simple, but we need hi-resolution images, so please read carefully:
Step 1: Go to the menu on your digital camera and set the photo resolution (or file size) to its highest setting (or largest file size, up to but not more than 10 MB). Photos that are low-res don't print well so we can't use them.
Step 2: Take that picture any time between 12:00 am and 11:59 pm on Friday May 21, 2010.
Step 3: Email that photo to
[email protected] no later than Friday, May 28.
