NWHS Photo Books - Digital Cameras

[NW Modeling List]

Is there a projected priority/order for the publications as well as a projected schedule?  I've got a lot of slides and digital shots to go through and as with any project it's valuable to understand priorities and milestones. This information, if it's been thought through would be helpful.

Best regards,

I was remiss in not mentioning digital cameras for picture submissions.

Any digital image taken at six megapixals or greater is acceptable.
