Anyone that would like to submit articles that benefit the artistic community may do so. This can be done by one of the following ways:
- Posting the article directly to the website. I will need to set up an account for you first. Email me (http://www.thelensflare.com/contactus.php) and let me know you're interested.
- Email me (http://www.thelensflare.com/contactus.php) the document.
- Post the article in the message board (http://www.thelensflare.com/galleryforum), which may then be added here. However, you should also let me know that it's there.
You are welcome to include a link to your website or image gallery at the bottom of each article you write, as long as your website contains only images and content that is viewable by all ages. Of course, this is a great way to increase your artwork's exposure. We will give a silver membership for a year to anybody that writes one good article and a gold membership for a year to anybody that writes 3.
Thank you for reading this and for visiting The Lens Flare. I hope you decide to contribute to our growing community.
