SYMPATICO-LYCOS, FUJIFILM, BLACK'S DEVELOP ONLINE PHOTO CENTRE
By Adnews Staff
Sympatico-Lycos, Fujifilm and Black's have teamed up to construct an online photo centre at <http://www.photography.sympatico.ca>. The photo centre targets amateur photographers who use either digital or traditional cameras. The site provides information on digital photography and technology, including digital camera tutorials, product reviews, tips, tools, professional advice and photo essays. The information is intended to help users become better photographers. A sign-up area for users interested in receiving photography-specific newsletters is also planned. Promotional support for the photo centre includes banner ads on the Sympatico-Lycos portal and a contest which will run from July 9 to July 30. Users can enter to win a Fuji digital camera and a year's free film processing from Black's. The online photo centre will also display digital photographs and accompanying audio clips from Fujifilm's Digital Pilgrimage 2001. The cross-country tour began in St. John's, Newfoundland on Canada Day. Participants are being invited to capture digital images of their surroundings and attach a 30-second audio clip to their image describing the personal relevance of the scene. The Digital Pilgrimage 2001 runs until Labour Day.
