Share Your 'Proud American Day' Photos with Patch!

PROBLEM: You plan to enjoy every second of Proud American Days and you plan to take oodles of photos. But you need some place to share them. 

SOLUTION: Patch Boards.

Yes, even you can effortlessly show off your digital photography prowess with but a few keystrokes and clicks.

Simply head over to the New Lenox Patch homepage. Click on our Faces of New Lenox board. There's a green button just under it that reads Post. All you have to do is click it and an Add photos/videos button will magically appear. Click it, locate your photos, and upload away.

Then, sit back and revel in your freshly published work. Better yet, share it with your friends.

"See that dedicated Patch user?" Your neighbors will remark as you walk by. "That's one mighty fine fireworks photographer!"

And—here's the best part—the above process can be applied to anything. Photos of lizards, photos of antique benches, photos of local celebrity lookalikes. You can even rebel and announce something with just words and no photos at all!

Experiment. Go crazy (within reason). We'd love to see what you can come up with.
