From the editor
If you’ve got an eye for photos, let me know
Erin Yarnall
Editor
Every time I flip
through any paper,
the first thing
my eyes land on are the
pictures.
Photos can enhance any
story by helping add visual
context to the words
on the page. Sometimes,
photos themselves can
be the story. Basically,
pictures are crucial to
the story-telling process,
and we need help getting
them.
We at The Landmark
are looking for people
who want to help tell stories
through photography.
Do you have a professional
camera? Do you
have photography experience?
If so, we’re interested
in having you take
photos for us.
If you’re interested in
taking pictures for The
Landmark, send a resume
and some examples of
your photography to
erin@hplandmark.com.
Once you’re a freelancer,
we at The Landmark
will send you out to get
photos of the large variety
of the fun events you read
about in your weekly
paper.
In addition to looking
for freelance photographers,
we’re always hoping
to get submissions of
community photos.
Did you attend a fun
event? Is your house decorated
really well? Do you
have photos of anything
that you’d want to share
with the community?
Feel free to email them to
erin@hplandmark.com.

will have cookie stations for kids to
decorate their own holiday cookies!”
