Jeremy Tatum writes: I am receiving a welcome supply of interesting photographs – keep ‘em coming! They are coming in a variety of different ways, and they do take a little while to process. It would be a tremendous help if contributors using PCs would send their pictures, if possible, in jpg. format as an attachment (rather than in the body of the message). Mac users please continue to use zip. Thanks.
Also: In some recent Inverts, the photographs are displaying in a slightly small size. This is because of a computer technicality, which I am trying to solve.
