Photographs for Making Tracks are printed on a first-come, first-serve basis. Due to the high volume of photographs received, photographs may not be printed in the issue immediately following their receipt. While it is our goal to feature all of the photographs received, we cannot guarantee your photographs will appear. Photographs that are too dark, of low resolution or will not appear well in print may not be included in Making Tracks.
