	We need your help to assess how photography is presented in the project, and then how to add more content that matches that look and feel. This will include helping us think critically where photography isn't enough and we can do more with it (i.e. slideshows, movies, etc.). You are welcome to add content, but we're not looking to fill the site simply with more photos. We would ask you to be a researcher, include stories about the sites you're photographing, and help us fill out the pages which consist of photos and not much context.
