We are not going to get publication quality photos out of images that are
small enough to be easily transferred over the net, and certainly not if
those images are being scanned by any Tom Dick or Harry.  If we want these
to go into the big magazines we're going to need photographs.  I don't know
whether Neil is using digital images in TAG or not.  You have to remember
that the resolution used on web sites is MANY times coarser than what is
acceptable in printed form.

I think that's a good idea.  We could have an article of the same type in
TAG along with the announcement of the contest.
