[Ohio-talk] braille monitor

[Kelsey Nicolay]

Hello,
I'm writing an article for the Braille monitor.  I was informed 
by the editor that they need a photo.  I sent him two photos: one 
a headshot and another one of my senior pictures.  However, he 
won't accept either one, saying the resolution is not high enough 
and the quality is not good enough for them to use.  However, I 
do not have a high quality digital camera nor does anyone in my 
family have an iphone five accessible to take a picture with.  My 
mom has an iphone four, but that's it.  Therefore, what are the 
chances of improving the quality of my existing photos? They are 
both in jpeg, but I converted them to pdf as well.  I believe I 
sent the pdfs.  Would sending the jpg files make any difference 
or should I find someone who has software that can try to enlarge 
the resolution on these photos? Also, is there a way to avoid 
this altogether? The headshot was taken by my local Ohio Means 
jobs with one with someone's phone.  Should I contact her to see 
if she still has the photo and whether she might be able to 
change the resolution? The editor said that I can use a high 
quality digital camera or have someone use an iphone five or 
above and nothing else.  I simply do not have access to either of 
these things, so what should I do?
Thank you,
Kelsey Nicolay
