TERMS of USE
Please read the following information carefully before signing
up for photo access or ordering a Coffee Table Book.
This website is available to you as parents of midshipmen.
GUARANTEE
Our goal, or guarantee, is that we will take about 150,000 photographs during Plebe Summer. We can not guarantee that we will photograph any specific company, specific evolution, specific photograph at any specific evolution, or even any specific Plebe. We do our best. Our approach is a shotgun method. We photograph every company, Plebe, as much as we can, during each and every event. Our second goal is to photograph each company roughly the same number of times in order to be fair and equitable to all parents. We ask that you do not make special requests to take more photographs of your Plebe or your Plebe's company. At the direction of the Academy we can not do this.
