Want a new copy of The Statesman's pictures?

The Chandler & Brownsboro Statesman has just established a new system for sharing the pictures our photographers take. Now you can see - and purchase - pictures from the many events and news stories we cover. Viewing pictures is always free.

The engine for the system is provided by My News Photos in Harrisonburg, VA. It allows The Statesman to serve its readership by answering an often asked question, "may I get a copy of that?".

Readers may view pictures taken by The Statesman photographers by going to the newspaper's website www.cbstatesman. com. There we have provided a Big Blue Button emblazoned with "See and Buy Photos Here!".

Click on the button and you will be taken to a page with a series of albums shown. Each week The Statesman will establish a new album for that week's photos. Finding a photo you want is as simple as knowing approximately when the event occurred.

The Statesman will also establish a new album for each major event covered by The Local Paper photographers. This simplifies the process of finding he photos you want. It also allows The Statesman to share photographs that would otherwise never be seen for lack of room to print them in the paper.

Each of the local schools will have a folder devoted to the activities at that school. Photos will include sporting events, meetings and other newsworthy activities involving the faculty and students.

Photos will remain available for at least a year from the time they were first posted. Photos prior to that time may be available on special request.

Though viewing pictures is free, readers may purchase any photo using the easy-to-follow instructions. Prints are available in a variety of sizes. There are even several ways to display a special photo in the form of T-shirts, mouse pads and mugs.

Log on and see what it is all about. For more information email Chad Wilson at Statesman @embarqmail.com.
