Getting the frames taken could NOT be done by members submitting them. It would take me forever to go through everyone's submission and properly crop and resize the shots, for no two people's pictures would be the same. Plus, who's to say that they are submitting the proper frames? Sad as this may seem, only a few of the people who submit pictures for the warehouse actually READ the submission guidelines (much like people 99% of the time fail to read the FAQ page before asking the same questions over and over). Most people send in pictures with their original camera file names and a bunch of unlabeled captions. Somehow we are supposed to know where the caption "Bob in the north booth" is supposed to go when there are 3 shots with male people in the submission package as we try to assemble the pages. It just won't work. The only way would be if myself and perhaps one other specific person took the shots every week. This is easily enough done, but to make it a true value to the projectionist community, the frames need to be online by the day BEFORE the prints open to the public. In other words, if I was to update the site and add the pictures every week on a Friday...a whole lot of good that would do for people trying to assemble their used screener prints Thursday night. I would need a small amount of cooperation from the studios to make it work, and not a one of them seemed to give a flip about it when I approached them before. Heck, it's not their problem, right?If the studios did care, I could easily see to it that every film had it's ID frames online for anyone to download by the day before the film opens. I just don't see it happening.

Melanoma
Causes, Risk Factors, and Prevention
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation--Experts believe that much of the worldwide increase in melanoma is related to an increase in the amount of time people spend in the sun. This disease is also more common in people who live in areas that get large amounts of UV radiation from the sun. In the United States, for example, melanoma is more common in Texas than it is in Minnesota, where the sun is not as strong. UV radiation from the sun causes premature aging of the skin and skin damage that can lead to melanoma. (Two types of ultraviolet radiation--UVA and UVB--are explained in the Dictionary.) Artificial sources of UV radiation, such as sunlamps and tanning booths, also can cause skin damage and probably an increased risk of melanoma. Ultraviolet radiation
(ul-tra- VYE-o-let ray-dee-AY-shun): UV radiation. Invisible rays that are part of the energy that comes from the sun. UV radiation can damage the skin and cause melanoma and other types of skin cancer. UV radiation that reaches the earth's surface is made up of two types of rays, called UVA and UVB rays. UVB rays are more likely than UVA rays to cause sunburn, but UVA rays pass deeper into the skin. Scientists have long thought that UVB radiation can cause melanoma and other types of skin cancer. They now think that UVA radiation also may add to skin damage that can lead to skin cancer and cause premature aging. For this reason, skin specialists recommend that people use sunscreens that reflect, adsorb, or scatter both kinds of UV radiation.

Jeffry, I appreciate your posting the links, and I am one who often researches what I post, but I'll have to admit that I myself am overdosed... to the point of being sick... on claims of what is good for us and what isn't.I think of this warning on one hand, and I think of my father who was an avid boater on the other, often coming back with beet red skin and a nose more glowing than Rudolph's . He died of heart problems in his 80s. Others in my family were farmers toiling in the sun most summer days. None had problems with skin cancers and most lived similar persiods, and many are still kicking. We live. Eventually we die. In between, we have to figure out what we want to do, and what might seriously cut our life short or impare it. I am not about to consider long wave UV as a determining factor in my life. The scientists who have a hunch and want to make me live in fear can make strong lip contact with my glutious maximumus. (Nothing personal, and I appreciate your bringing it to my attention that yet another group wants to limit us to play-dough and styrofoam.)
