Have you ever noticed that when it comes to pictures, there are two types of people: those who labor assiduously behind the camera, and those who happily pose and even mug for it? I fall firmly in the former camp and find fault with most pictures of me. I usually ask the photographer not to use or keep the photo - and get blithely ignored.

Fortunately, since I’m so often the photographer, I have a great collection of photos from events large and small. Cute cat and dog poses? Check. Sunrises and sunsets over water? Check. Family and friends through the years? Check. Cool work shots? Ch… well, not so much. And that’s where you come in.

During my years with Process Heating, I’ve learned about the manufacturing intricacies of such diverse products, from personal hygiene products to car parts, to gelatin and kraft paper, and everything in between. Yet I have relatively few photos. So, for an upcoming feature, I’d like you to be my photographer and share the coolest heat processing photos you’ve taken.

Now, we don’t want to violate anyone’s confidentiality agreements or get anyone in hot water. Remember to ask permission before you snap and give credit where it is due. But once that’s taken care of, here’s how to send it to us:
  • Upload to our Facebook wall by visiting www.facebook.com/ProcessHeating. (You will need to “Like” the page in order to post.)

  • Post it on your own site or blog and share a link in our LinkedIn group, Process Heating Network, or tweet a link to @ProcessHeating. (Visit www.process-heating.com/connect for links.)

  • Send via e-mail to BeckerL@bnpmedia.com.
Just remember, you must be the owner of any image you submit, and by submitting it, you are granting Process Heating and BNP Media a limited license and right to publish your submission. Complete details are here*, or contact me if you have any questions.

And to get things started, I promise to post a cute cat picture just as soon as we have our first submission. So get snapping!
