Dear Devotees,
Please accept my humble obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Anuttama prabhu and Mukunda Goswami have asked me to contact devotees re photographs for the ISKCON 50th Anniversary Magazine.
This is an exciting publication which presents a lot of facets of ISKCON in one document, and will be edited for continued distribution use after the 50th is over.
The magazine is mainly pictorial, and we really need good quality high res photos, urgently now, to be able to complete the layout.
* do you have high resolution quality photos of Temples, deities, devotees, festivals, prasadam, etc., for the 50th Magazine;
* if you are willing to assist with this service, do you have an online folder or gallery that you would be willing to let us browse through so that we can choose photos we are interested in;
* or you could email us low res images you think may interest us, and we will let you know which ones we choose before procuring the high res images from you;
* can you provide us with contact details of other devotees who are photographers?
This is rather urgent as we have been trying to source photos, but not many devotees are actually replying to our emails or requests.
Either that, or photos we can find online that we are interested in, were not saved in high res. Many people take photos, post on Facebook and then delete their photos.
We are willing to pay reasonable prices for good quality photos.
Please return a reply in any case, whether you can help or not.
It saves us having to email you again.

In regard: Photos for ISKCON 50th Anniversary Magazine
Har eKrsna Bhakti devi dasi,
I have just downloaded and collected the most nice pics from Dandavats since some years ! But i guess you have it in your archives. So why worried ? You have the best !
Otherwise if you want my collection, I have absolutly no experience in sending so many pics…..

Dear Anuttama R.dd,
PAMHO AGT Srila Prabhupada.
Thank you for your offer, however, photos posted on Dandavats.com will be of no use to us, as online photos are low resolution, and for printing we need high resolution photos. Also I am not part of the Dandavats editorial team, so I do not have an archive of anything they have.
We are looking for the Temple Buildings photos of New Vrindavan, Houston Temple, Clossica – Peru, Nairobi – Kenya, Radhadesh – Belgium, Utah, Durban, Toronto, Katmandu, New Delhi, Mumbai, Vrndavan, Malaysia, Hungary Farm.
If we can get email contacts of Professional Photographers, those who take quality photographs, and not just “happy snaps” then I can go through the list of what we are looking for with them, and supplement what we already have.
Thank you.
your servant,
Bhakti devi dasi.
