Get your photo and name published!
I need a high-resolution image of a First Gen Camaro Barn Find for my Camaro restoration book. I prefer an image of the car in the place you found it. A bonus for the effect is lots of dust and weeds or still in a barn.

Couple of requirements:
1. The photo needs to be of a pretty decent and complete first gen Camaro.
2. The photo needs to be at least a 2MB file.
3. The photo needs to be taken by you or somebody I can get to sign a photo release form.
4. The photo needs to be in focus.

I'll give you credit in the book. I need the image ASAP.
Let me know if you can help me out!

Thanks!

This one is perfect, but it's not high enough resolution for me to use.

Why such a high resolution requirement?

Biggest book I *ever* had to print while image designing (before I joined the military) was 11X14. The image you have there would have been just fine for it. Unless its going to be a full page photo the extra detail is lost.

Publisher being picky about photos?

Publishers and editors are always picky. They prefer to do the layouts in huge x huge and then scale down.

Tony, I could throw some dirt on my '69 and push it back behind the shop. I can't duplicate the tall weeds though. :)

THere was the guy who was told he could have whatever he wanted if he cleaned the garage and surrounding area, and found a 69 RS/SS.

I thought about it, but I was hoping to get a car that's more complete. :)

Tony (Nine Ball) hit the nail on the head. Publishers and Editors always want to lay out everything in huge format and downsize it to fit the final size. I don't have any control over it.
