To enter the project you must send an email to ecky To: travellingcamera@gmail.com writing in the blog is not confirmation that you are a part of the project

Show us your world

Ok after some discussion with a few members we decided to start a new project called the pic it forward project, the idea is simple an individual has a disposable camera, takes a limited number of photos on the camera and then posts it onto the next person in the chain. Finally when the film is full the last person to receive the film develops it and is required to post them on the website for everyone to see.

We will be collecting a list of everyone who wishes to be a part of the project and will be planning the postage routes for each camera, the deadline for entering is June 15th

The Theme
"Show us your world! We all use threadless but we're spread out all over the globe, with different backgrounds and cultures; this is your chance to show us your world, how you live, what you like to do, where you live- It's up to you."

The Rules

● The Picture has to be taken by yourself.
● Please be respectful of others and don’t take photos of offensive things
●Once you’ve received your camera you have a week to take the photos and pass it on
●You are limited to three photos
●Attach a note explaining the photos, where they were taken, when they were taken and what the mean to you (this can be as short or as long as you like).
●If you agree to be the last person in the chain (the person who fills up the camera) you are responsible for developing and uploading the photos.
●Deadline for entering is June 15th



We thought it would be a nice idea if each person would put a small gift in the package for the next user in the chain to keep, obviously this is completly voluntary but we thought it would be cool to tide us over until the end result. If you decide to pass on a gift we recomend keeping it small, like button badges, postcards, photos that type of thing.

kevinwells on Jun 06 '07 at 11:39am
ah yes, this is a much better, clearer explanation
rhythmdev9
rhythmdev9 on Jun 06 '07 at 11:40am
ok maybe you should highlight the send and email part...not sure folks are getting it...
stubby43
stubby43 on Jun 06 '07 at 11:40am
I might delete this blog and put it on top of the old one, what do you guys think?
chelly
chelly on Jun 06 '07 at 11:41am
i'll send the email later, but this is a good spot for info reference
kevinwells
kevinwells on Jun 06 '07 at 11:43am
eh, the old blog has nice discussion on it... you could just call it "pic it forward discussoin blog"



and this one be the "official pic it forward project 2007 blog"
EFDisaster
EFDisaster on Jun 06 '07 at 11:43am
Is it ok if the explanation of "what they mean to me" is very short... like a one-word title? I like to let people dig their own meanings out of my photos.
rhythmdev9
rhythmdev9 on Jun 06 '07 at 11:45am
EFD - thats fine... it hink we want thei be openended as possible



i like the idea of two seperate blogs... one for offical info one for discussion...

I'm too poor to ship overseas but I live in Canada... So if any other Canadians are participating, I'm in. Or I could ship to somewhere close, like New York or Ohio...
rhythmdev9
rhythmdev9 on Jun 06 '07 at 11:49am
whisper- send and email and let us know and ecky will work it ou once we get a full list of all who are interested...
stubby43
stubby43 on Jun 06 '07 at 11:50am
As long as you say it in the email to ecky I'm sure we can sort something out, right now its just a case as getting as many deffient people together to form the list.



We want to keep this project as open as possible, for it to be just a bit of fun, nothing serrious or prententious, its kind of an experiement really to see what happens.

squeegebeckenheim on Jun 06 '07 at 11:51am
Oh wait!



I said I'd be an "ender" in my email, but I just remembered I don't have a functional scanner. :(
rhythmdev9
rhythmdev9 on Jun 06 '07 at 11:52am
the other option beside scanning i taking it to a place that makes digital versions of your analog film... a pretty sure all koday developer do that
stubby43
stubby43 on Jun 06 '07 at 11:53am
You dont have to scan them in, I dont know about in the states but developers usually have a service where you can put them on disc.



Having it put on disc might be better because we'll get a standard size and colour.

EFDisaster
EFDisaster on Jun 06 '07 at 11:59am
eMail sent, I'm in. willing to do starting, ending, overseas shipping... whatever.



I'm a flickr fan, but also have webspace and experience installing gallery software, if for some reason the flickr thing runs into any problems.
ekaj47
ekaj47 on Jun 06 '07 at 12:02pm
its been so long since i've developed real film i forgot they can put it on a cd for you, i'm just so used to digital.



and now i'm gonna have to start thinking of where i'm gonna take my photos
stubby43
stubby43 on Jun 06 '07 at 12:03pm
I kind of like the idea of having a proper website, but I also like the idea of a flickr, I think at the moment we dont really need a website since this is the first time we've tried it.
wullagaru
   wullagaru on Jun 06 '07 at 12:03pm
yeah I sent an email in to join
rhythmdev9
rhythmdev9 on Jun 06 '07 at 12:06pm
yeah i think we can get a site going once we get the pics sent out maybe a place people can go and share there experience of taking there pics and we can track the travel and stuff... the ponetntial here is limit less... i'm getting chills...
amaliaslash
amaliaslash on Jun 06 '07 at 12:06pm
i want to sign up! but...as i move every three months, it complicates things because i'd have to get my camera before a certain time or somehow switch addresses. would that mess things up?
midi-chlorinated
midi-chlorinated on Jun 06 '07 at 12:07pm
No, I'm sure we can work it out.
midi-chlorinated
midi-chlorinated on Jun 06 '07 at 12:08pm
Maybe you can be the first person.
hanzabean
hanzabean on Jun 06 '07 at 12:08pm
I think if that's your case, then once the list of people is finalized you could be first on the list or something like that, so that you wouldn't have to worry about things like that.
stubby43
stubby43 on Jun 06 '07 at 12:09pm
Yeah I'm sure something can be worked out, it might be better if your at the start of the chain though.
rhythmdev9
rhythmdev9 on Jun 06 '07 at 12:09pm
yeah as long as you keep in touch i suppose and we put you early on the list...
rhythmdev9
rhythmdev9 on Jun 06 '07 at 12:10pm
so amalia, just let us know in the email how long you will be at the address you give us...
amaliaslash
amaliaslash on Jun 06 '07 at 12:12pm

The possibilities with it are endless, I think at some point in the future a website might be approriate, i just dont want to get ahead of ourselves we havent done this one yet.



I think a website would only be justifiable if we decided to do a yearly thing.
