Below is an email I am about to send out once I get some updated contact info for some of my friends:
Hello all! If you are receiving this email, then that means I consider you a friend in some capacity and as a result I would like you to be included in this little project of mine. What project is this, you ask? Simply put, since I don’t have any pictures of you guys (well, maybe one or two of you), I started thinking that I would be quite upset if a few years down the line I don’t have anything to remember you all by. So, in an effort to correct that, I decided I’m going to make a photo-book of everyone I like. Problem is, I don’t have these aforementioned photos, which is why you are receiving this email.
If you are interested, please send me a hi-res image of you doing… whatever, at… wherever, with… whoever. Basically, I just want a pic of you. It can be a goofy picture, some picture from an event you attended, it can have your significant other in it, some close friends, or maybe even me in the picture. However you want to be remembered, it’s your call. Just send me a picture that you like (with you in it ;)
That’s it.
I don’t expect everyone to participate, but I would surely appreciate a response. If anything, I’ve done a poor job of keeping touch with many of you over the years and maybe now would be a good time to see how you all are doing.
Anyway, I don’t want to waste any more of your time. Get back to me if/when you can, and even if I don’t hear from you, take care. Peace.
