I received an email this morning from the Inauguration Team asking for 
people to take a picture of what they are doing when the President is sworn 
in...

>Take a picture when President-elect Obama takes the oath of office. Then 
>send your photo to us. We'll be posting photos on our website, and some 
>may even be used in the official Inaugural book.

The link in the email sends me to Photobucket, where I can upload the photo 
I take at the swearing-in moment.  I really do like this idea, but are 
these photos then considered records, because the government will be using 
them in the official Inaugural book?  There's a little disclaimer at the 
bottom of the Photobucket site:

>This Official Barack Obama Inaugural Book Project is not affiliated with 
>the Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC) but has been licensed as the 
>Official 2009 U.S. Presidential Inaugural Book by PIC. 

So, if I take a picture, and send it to the Photobucket site, is that going 
to become a governmental record, or is it only a picture taken by an 
average Joe?

I might just do it...if I can get my co-workers to smile!
