Members photo page

Don Poland · Post by **Don Poland** » 13 Mar 2005 7:46 pm

Being one of the new guys to the Pedal steel community, I would like to be able to visualize who members are when reading posts. I have started my own webpage and would like to take this opportunity to let everyone know, that I will be creating a Members Photo page. If any members would like to send a photo to me, please do so and include a locations also. I will post the pictures and location, so that everyone can become familiar with who everyone else is, especially all of us newbies. Thanks a bunch for your participation.

Is there a weight prerequisite restriction we have to go through or can we be wider and older than our guitars?

Perhaps you wern't aware of this webpage.

There's few of the steelers pictures. Also if you go to Carters site they also have some pictures.

Ok guys and gals, I have started a "MugShot" page. It is in its infancy so give me some time to get things tweaked. Some have submitted photo without locations. If that is what you intended, that is fine. However, I thought it would be nice to put a face to members post and know where they are from. If you just forgot the location and intended to post that, then let me know and I will edit the page. I do respect everones privacy, so I have no problems with not posting locations. I did not see the other page listed, however, I have started this to be member specific. Us newbies to the steel guitar community have not had the pleasure of knowing all these fine players over the years, and it is sometimes quite confusing, when seeing old pictures of gigs and concerts and having no idea who we are looking at.

It was not my intentions of horning in on anyone elses web page of similar nature. I merely wanted to know who I am looking at in some of the pics I have seen on this forum.

Your doing great Don just keep pluging away at it.

Can the pics be sent to you via e-mail already sized?

In fact, what is the ideal size that you are looking for? I use Adobe Photoshop so I can do about anything I want with the picture.

Don Poland · Post by **Don Poland** » 14 Mar 2005 9:56 am

Les, you can send me any size you want. The larger(not huge) ones are best, as I can then insert a thumbnail photo and then link to the larger one. If you were to send a small one, then when I blow it up, it will be grainy.

I want to thank all those that have sent a pic. I have had quite a few replies already. Bear with me, as It does take a bit of time to make the updates. I will make every effort to get pics posted in a timely manner, but if you send one and don't see it on the page, just send me a friendly reminder.

I want to thank all those that submitted photo's for the "MUGSHOTS" page. I have been overwhelmed with responses. If your pic is not posted yet and you submitted one, then I will try to catch up today. I have also decided to create an image map where you will be able to select a location on a map and link to pages of players in your state. Obviously this will take some time, so bear with me and I will do what I can as fast as I can. Again, thanks for your submissions.
