Norma and I will be creating an on-line photo album of Douglasville/Douglas County events which will be an on-going project whose main purpose is to provide pictures of events and places in this area.Anyone wishing to donate work will be given credit on the site, and any work published by these three agencies will give you photo credit.To submit your pictures, you may email them directly to me at richardpix@artondisk.com or send me a CD of the pictures. This is an opportunity to help these fine civic organizations, promote Douglasville and Douglas County, and best of all, show your work to an appreciative audience and get photo credit.
