Send the best copy you have
Bigger, sharper photos let us see faces clearly.
From a phone or computer, send the original photo, not a screenshot.
If you scan a print, use the highest quality setting. Old film photos? Take the negatives to a shop that scans film, and send us the scan. A scan of the film is sharper than a photo of a print.
Prefer email? Write to photos@beachcrew.org with your photos and notes. If your phone asks what size to send, choose the largest.
