You Oughta Be in (Town) Pictures

Send in photos for possible inclusion in Town of Oyster Bay publications.

If you enjoy photography and would like to see your photos depicting your vision of the Town of Oyster Bay published, Oyster Bay Town Councilman Joseph G. Pinto invites you to submit photos for consideration for the 2011 Town Calendar, as well as for other Town publications.

"Just flip through the pages of the 2010 Town Calendar to see some of the many great photos submitted by our residents," Councilman Pinto said. "I invite everyone to start taking pictures, or go through photos you've already taken, depicting the people, places, community events and scenery reflective of the spirit and beauty of the Town of Oyster Bay for use in upcoming Town publications."

The Councilman went on to say that photos must be taken within the confines of the Town of Oyster Bay. Digital submissions are preferred, but professionally developed photos, not inkjet printouts, may also be submitted. E-mailed photos, preferably in a jpeg format, should be sent to the Town's Public Information Office at mkane@oysterbay-ny.gov. Printed photographs should be mailed to Oyster Bay Town Hall, Attention Public Information Office, Calendar Photo Submissions, 54 Audrey Ave., Oyster Bay, NY 11771. Entrants will be notified if their photos are selected for the calendar.

Residents should make sure their name, address, phone number and photo description accompany the photograph. Do not write in ink on the back of the picture. The photographer is responsible for the correct spelling of the names of the subjects in the photos, as well as notifying subjects that their picture may appear in a Town of Oyster Bay calendar or other Town material. You may be asked to supply a waiver if your photo is selected.

"The Town of Oyster Bay is a photographer's dream, and the upcoming spring, summer and early fall will provide great opportunities to take beautiful pictures," Councilman Pinto said. "In addition to our many parks and beaches, the Town of Oyster Bay boasts a wealth of historic sites, museums and other places of interest that could be the subject of a great photo. So, whether photography is your passion, your hobby, or just an occasional pastime, grab your camera, go outside and start snapping."
