Call for Photos: So This is What Mormons Look Like!

[Karen]

Hi LDS.net friends,


More Good Foundation, as you know, is working to provide honest seekers with correct information and accurate perceptions of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its members. We have found that many of the public at large equate us either with the Amish, or with the polygamous groups that have recently been in the news. In spite of the rise to stardom of many LDS people (David Archuleta, Chelsie Hightower, etc.) and the general knowledge that they are Mormon, people still aren't figuring out who we are. Because of this, we desire to add additional images to all the articles on all of our sites to show Mormons in action, going about our daily routines, jobs, church work, recreation, and milestone events.

This is a request that you will network with your own friends, even forward this message, so that we may gather in some great photos. We need the images in jpg format, and you can email them to email@moregoodfoundation.org. These can be pics of your own family, weddings, missionaries, humanitarian aid projects, groups of kids playing at games or sports, family home evenings, proms, seminary/institute gatherings, reunions, anything at all that shows who we are and how we look. If you send us a picture, that means we have your permission to use it. Please include any info identifying the scene--"Joe and Lizzie Sikes upon their marriage at the Provo Temple, 4/08." We will upload images without identifying individuals, with generic captions such as "Mormon family temple wedding," or with first names only, so let us know your preference. If you have images of Saints in other countries, we would also be very interested in using those permissible as well.

Thanks so much for all your help.

Karen
