Greetings�

I starting my search for additional volunteers to bring the 50 State Flag project to completion. The original deadline for this project is February 28. I have half of the required photos at this time, so I�m sure I will need some replacement volunteers.

Here is where the project stands at this time:

//www.pbase.com/jmsetzler/image/37438447

Here are the states where I need volunteers:

Connecticut
Idaho
Kansas
Minnesota
Nevada
South Dakota
Wisconsin

If you would like to volunteer to produce a flag photo from one of these states, please sound off. You MUST live in the state you are signing up for. The volunteers who haven't contacted me by the deadline will be replaced with others.

Thanks!

John Setzler

You just want a brightly-lit closeup of a live flag?

Yes but don't shoot yet.. I'll add you to the California slot and let you know next week if I need it. The states where I don't have photos still have one week.

What order are you placing the flags on your layout? Alphabetically or in the order of union? I can't really tell from the example you have given. It looks great but wonder if place in the order of union would be good. Just a thought.

I dont mind doing it, but I need to figure out where there is a NJ flag.
It's something I guess I never looked for.

Courthouses, state and city parks, memorials, and sports arenas are all good bets.

Schools and Post Offices often fly them, too.
