• If photos have been taken by a professional photographer, submit hi-resolution files obtained from the photographer. Low-res files from photographers’ websites don’t reproduce well.
If you’d rather send a traditional print (made from a negative), we love that, too. But please send them on glossy paper. Matte prints and prints from digital photos do not scan well. We can’t reproduce photos from photocopies, magazines or newsprint. Mail prints to: Libby Edwards Brunswick School Development/Alumni Office 100 Maher Avenue Greenwich, CT 06830
