Your goal is not to make a historic record of how someone looked on a particular day. Rather, you are telling the story of a volunteer who made a difference, a national whose life was changed, the joy someone experienced in service or the difficulties faced in a resistant culture. I suggest you study The Commission magazine's photographs , then look at some of your own. Be intentional about your photographic efforts. However, there are some special considerations for web photos.
People are normally impatient when waiting to see something on the internet.
If your photos take, what seems to be, an eternity to appear on the screen, most people will simply move on to the next internet site. Only your home church and your mom will have the patience to wait two minutes for your page to completely appear. Use photographs, but use them sparingly and use them to illustrate what you've written. Only the volunteer group who is pictured will take the time to look at such pictures. Size is important.
