Description:

Hello Shutterbugs! Time for group swap #2: A photo journal of an ordinary day in your life. In this swap, you will mail a MINIMUM of 6 (six) unique photos to 1 (one) partner, and give them a view of the things you see each day. Please include a note explaining what each photo is.

This swap is INTERNATIONAL! Hooray!

For example you could take your camera with you to work and photograph:

  • your desk.
  • The clock you stare at until its knock off time.
  • Your lunch. Your bus ride home.
  • Your grocery store.
  • Your bed.
  • Your flatmate eating your food.
  • Your huge pile of homework.
  • Your dirty laundry.
  • Whatever your daily routine includes...

The challenge is to make the mundane seem beautiful. Consider the composition, lighting etc and try to find a new way of looking at the things you normally take for granted.

Questions welcome.

The Rules

Photos can be of any subject (portrait, nature, etc.)

Photos can be in any format (digital, polaroid, etc.)

Photos must be high quality (no photos on copier paper, etc). Send something you would like to receive.

Photos must be no smaller than polaroid size.

Photos must be sent via regular mail (no e-mail for this one)

ALL PHOTOS MUST HAVE BEEN TAKEN BY YOU

Side note about Flakers in the Shutterbugs

Please don't flake on your partner(s). If you think you're not going to be able to send your photos, then don't sign up for this swap or at least PM your partners/me so we know what's going on. If you completely flake (ie-send nothing and don't respond to PMs) without some kind of reasonable explanation, you will be banned from the Shutterbugs.

Shall we put the photos in a small journal or keep them loose..?

Good thinking Littlelina, a small album will help them stay rigid during postage. It'd be quite simple and effective to make a little accordion folding style booklet

is it still possible for me to sign up?

gogoringo 05/29/2008 #

no, i'm sorry, partners have now been assigned :( stay tuned, perhaps one day there will be another similar swap.

Why on earth didn't I sign up for this???

Of course, my desk is such a frightening disaster, that might have made me hesitate LOL

Hey amazingranda! Wanna do this as a private swap on the coat tails of the group swap? I'll PM you in case you don't come back in here... oh, why would you... we missed the deadline ;)
