Tips for Great NPW Photos

15

• Go to your camera settings and check to make sure you are shooting at maximum 

resolution and that your picture quality is set at the highest setting.

• While in settings, check to see if your camera has an image stabilization feature. If 

so, make sure it is turned on.

• Take your photos in a well-lit environment (turn on the flash if necessary), but 

avoid bright reflections.

• Use landscape orientation whenever possible, especially with large groups.

• If possible, use a ledge or table to rest your camera on while taking photos.

• Avoid zooming in on your subject. It will only lower your resolution.

• When sending images via email, make sure you send the image at full size.

• Clean your lens often.

change health disparities within an individual, a 

family, a community, or a nation. 

Transforming lives is what Mary’s Center is all about!

Our Social Change Model

We look at all of the pressures in people’s lives and 

deliver an integrated set of health care, education, 

and social services to guide our participants on the 

path toward good health, stable families, and 

economic independence.

Fathers Who Care
By Rev. Walter Amir Jones, Jr.

April 23, 2019
 Fathers Who Care – History (West Side Men, Illinois Council on 

Responsible Fatherhood, and the National Fatherhood Buzz)

 West Side Community Stakeholders, West Garfield Park 

Community Stakeholders, and West Garfield Park Youth Council

 Members with the 11th, 15th, and 25th District Chicago Police 

Department, Elected Officials (Aldermen, Commissioners, 

Senators, Representatives, and Congressman) from three (3) 

Wards, Districts on the West Side of Chicago 
Oftentimes in getting sectors’ partners to 

work together, we have to motivate them 

with the presence of others who are also 

committed to doing the same work. (Try to 

recruit more than one partner in each of 

your 12 sectors.) 

 First, show members that we are agents for social change and 

community empowerment. All input matters.

 Second, encourage them to use their influence to bring 

people together and build their communities. Teamwork. 

 Third, always acknowledge the work of others. Incentives 

(awards, gift cards, certificates, etc.)

 Fourth, always provide refreshments!
