Do you have beautiful or interesting photos of Darien that you’ve taken? When we start writing and designing the first draft of the POCD (our next post will update you on that process), we will include photos to illustrate the text. While we have taken many photos of Darien over the course of our work here, we would like to feature photos taken by residents and other members of the community. The photos should capture various aspects of Darien—buildings, homes, institutions, parks and rec facilities and activities, protected open spaces, beaches and coastline, nature and wildlife, biking, walking, and so on. Drone photos and photos that depict change or challenges, such as flooding, for example, are also welcome.

Photo Submission Options

1. If you use a file or photo storage service such as Dropbox, Flickr, or Google Photos, send a link to us through the Contact Us page that allows us to download the photos.
2. Upload your photos directly into our Dropbox folder. Or, if you have a lot of photos to send, put them in a ZIP file and upload that file into our Dropbox folder. Please include your first and last name in the filename of each photo. Also, after you’ve clicked on the Dropbox link, put your e-mail address in both the “Your name” and “Your e-mail address” fields.
3. If Option 1 and 2 don’t work for you, or if you have any questions or suggestions, send us a message through the Contact Us page.

By submitting photos, you are giving us permission to use the photo in the POCD, website, and/or Instagram only. Photos will not be used for any other purposes or distributed anywhere else. Photos containing identifiable people require their permission to be published. Any photos that we publish in the POCD, website, and/or Instagram, will include a photo credit.
