I sent a note to Jon Polka asking for his photos.

I got Jon Polka to renew his Flickr subscription and his photos are back. Added them to the list, so we have hundreds of photos.

great! Those are indeed marvelous. What I was looking for was some photos that show the gravitiy-flow-Systems in action. Did you find some of those? Are there also schematic drawings of the function principle? If we don't find any I can do one. People like that stuff, and also I find it convincing.

I'm trying to come up with a good version of this one: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7350603/screenshots/red_de_distribution.jpg

Oh yeah this looks good and even the more - it looks authentic. If you scan that in decent quality I can try to photoshop the hell out of it.

I've asked them for anything they have that's better, but I did find our photos that we took back in the day, and here they are straightened, https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gsnxefe2uzh099x/PMa0JhnCAr

I'll see what I can make of that. I just realized that the text is al spanish, and right across the image. Maybe I redraw some of it in vector software (this is done quicker than on thinks). Will look for more material on the topic, sure there is some on the web.

I did request more from them. We can wait a bit if you want to see what they come up with. I imagine this was done on physical canvas.

Hey Thomas -

Would it help for Nancy and me to organize the photos for each of the blocks on the main page and the subtopic pages?

I think we have plenty enough images to work with, and Nancy and I are probably pretty familiar with the best of them.

But I don't want to step on top of anything you're already doing.

Yes that would be great. I have not worked on this yet.

Got pictures attached to each block. You can explore them on http://aplv.org/admin/content (select block as type). The thumbnails are colorbox-enabled, so you can see the large size. Some will need more work for cropping, but all have been uploaded at full size.

These images are all update in the staging site as well, and I've updated staging from production.

rsync -avz --exclude=styles --exclude=js --exclude=css rfay@aplv.org:/var/www/aplv.org/files/ .

I also updated staging (aplv.thefays.us) with tonight's aplv.org

Closing because incremental work from here.
