If you have a photo that is a good representation of some aspect of CAP, but you don't have an article, go ahead and send it and it may be used as a stock photo. Scenic photos as well as action photos!
If you're able to capture people doing activities, more than just the "Grip & Grin" of award ceremonies, they make much more interesting copy.
Eye-catching photos really are worth a thousand words!
