Files are here:  https://www.dropbox.com/sh/w78l6dkf4fcq … WYeca?dl=0
As I was grabbing these off the internet, dependent upon the service each of you used, the files I was able to save may not have been the best quality... then I had to resize them... many may appear a bit wonky.  These photos all looked great at their original resolution, so when the winners are determined we just might need the originals resent via email or some other method to ensure the best possible picture quality (and I'll be able to edit the photos a bit better too, including redoing the cropping to the best possible location).

There are a few I put Question Marks next to, this means I'm not sure what category you were going for.  Please, comment... that'd be BILL, and JJJ! 

Also, if I screwed up and put the wrong category or you'd like to change your mind, PLEASE DO let me know!  :) 

BGD - you had put a few up that went along with certain Forum categories... we actually need photos for the NEW COMING SOON "Top Songs" categories.  I get it, you were excited!  :)  Take a look again at the first post, ad let me know which ones you want to submit to which Top Songs categories and I'll edit this post to add them in!  :)  BTW, I personally really like the one of you alone, eyes closed, singing in the mic! 

If I missed any (other than BGD's) please call me out on it and point me to the location needed... sometimes, I are blonde.  ;)

Roger and UJB - you are included in photos submitted by other people.  If you don't want those photos used, let me know (privately is fine if you're shy - which is funny because I've met you both and neither of you is shy, but you're both gentlemen)!

Re: Chordie Changes... PHOTO CONTEST

I like the Chordiestock banner for 'Breaking News' but I cannot get it to reduce to 320x60. I can get it to 320x100 so I think another shot with a little more of the background showing at the sides is needed to show the complete banner at the required size, that is, unless Amy has some tricks up her sleeve. smile

Roger, I cropped the heck out of it, and pushed the proportions a little to stretch it.  This wouldn't have worked well with a person's head, but it's not bad on a banner.  LOL!

Keep the submissions coming people... I'll edit additional photos in the next few days!

Re: Chordie Changes... PHOTO CONTEST

I have to vehemently disagree with your assessment that Robert is worst dressed....
any man that has a beer, cool shades, a great guitar, a "cowbell" , and a "girlie" calendar on the wall -  in his picture- could never be mistaken as worst dressed. Not to mention wearing an apron sized perma-napkin just in case some shows up with some great saucy chicken wings- always good to be prepared ! smile

I don`t know how you would categorize me. I like to play classic rock, some pop, hard rock, country. Anything but disco, rap. Feel free to fill it in however you want. It depends on how I feel at the time.

Re: Chordie Changes... PHOTO CONTEST

Hey Bill - Nope.  Per the directions - these are photos that will be used for a NEW feature coming to Chordie -- VERY SOON -- that will list out the Top Songs searched for specific categories.  The photos will be used as a category heading.  I really think your outfit looks very country/western.  So, if you're cool with that, I think that'd be the best category for it out of those available.


Alright folks - this thing is coming to a close.  I'm submitting everyone's photos that follow the guidelines into the head chief (aka admin better known as Per).  Of course, the final decision on which photos will or will not be used and where they will or will not be used is up to him.  He might not use any - and he might even use them all... I don't know... but I have a feeling we will find out very SOOOOOON! 

This is very exciting!  Who's ready to see something NEW around here, other than JJJ's New Guitar Day posts?  tongue  (hee hee - love ya Joey, I couldn't resist the dig though)
