Photo Scavenger Hunt
Swap Coordinator:user4899 (contact)
Swap categories: Random Items  Challenges  Art 
Number of people in swap:112
Location:Other
Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:January 12, 2007
Date items must be sent by:February 15, 2007
Number of swap partners:1
Description:

Do you enjoy photography and being behind the lens? Are you up for a bit of a creative challenge??

Each participant will list 15 random items in the "leave a comment" section below...PLEASE POST YOUR LIST ASAP - Try to have it there by Monday (January 15th) -- so your partner can get started taking PHOTOS based on it.

THIS SWAP IS CLOSING JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS EARLY but the due date (which is when things are to be SENT BY, not nessecarily recvd by) will remain the same.

Check our your partners list and choose 10 of their suggested items to take a creative photo of!! PLEASE keep photos clean in subject, non-suggestive and NOT what someone else might consider offensive - even if you don't mind it.

Send those GOOD QUALITY -- ACTUAL PHOTOGRAPHS 4x6 inches in size (NOT through email) to your partner. Be creative w/ the items and angles....and make them pictures that you might like to receive. You may choose to send MORE than 10 -- and thats okay, just realize you MIGHT only get 10 in return.

Digital cameras and personal printers are okay to use as long as photos are printed using photo quality and photo paper - no plain regular computer paper, please.

Another option would be to buy a disposable camera -- and get the prints made at a "one hour" place (keep the rest for your own personal use). As long as the prints are good, crisp and clear -- its okay.

Please make sure to package the pictures to avoid moisture (ex: plastic ziptop bag) -- or other ailments that might damage photos -- and w/ sturdiness to avoid being bent in transit.

If you do not understand or cannot find one of the items on your partners list, try emailing them or skip it and go on to a different option. If you find run into difficulties completing 10 items from their list -- email them asking for a few more suggestions or any explanations.

It would be nice to include a note or label ea. photo (on the back) listing which item it is a representation of. Do not write on the actual photo, but use a sticky note. Writing on the actual backs may distort the image on the front.

We have 112 participants! Thats 1120 PHOTOS being taken and sent all around the world, just for this swap!!

Thanks for your participation! Let the HUNT begin....

twobluecrows 01/10/2007 #

Just a helpful hint--if you must label your pics, don't write with ink on the backs, over time the ink can bleed through and ruin the pic. Use a pencil very lightly and write along one edge so it could be cut off if necessary later. OR use a small post-it note paper that can be easily removed.

ack! Nerk! by mistake i hit the "sent" button but i haven't sent it out as i just got my partner. i am so sorry. i'm lame :(

user4899 01/13/2007 #

I cant (or dont know how to) change it. So just keep track and make sure you DO send on time - maybe email your partner to let them know, when the photos actually go out. -- Its okay, mistakes happen. -nerk76 (Melanie)

user4899 01/13/2007 #

PARTNERS HAVE BEEN SET -- If you have not yet posted your list -- please do so, as soon as possible (by Monday, January 15th, would be greatly appreciated). Were all anxious to start taking photos -- and need a LIST to go by. -- Thanks to each of our 112 participants! Whoa, thats 1120 photos!! - Melanie S. (nerk76)

paperholic 01/13/2007 #

Whoo hoo! we're off and running. Just wanted to say that someone (can't remember who) suggested making this a semi-regular thing, but with the topics pre-chosen so that we are all doing our own interpretation of the same things. I think this would be a great idea, especially if the topics were somewhat loose (eg something round, etc). It would be very interesting to see different people's interpretations. Just my 2 cents' worth. Now I'm off to start looking at life through a viewfinder.

user4899 01/13/2007 #

** I made that suggestion -- and wanna kinda see how this one goes first -- there have been lots of requests to make this a more semi regular thing and a few that wanted to join in this time but the dates didnt work for them --- I have a few "twists" in mind -- especially since so many loved this "basic" idea. -- Watch for it -- "this" will happen again!! nerk76

jewels1 01/13/2007 #

Yikes! Dirty Boots and I must think alike, I did the same thing! I'm on the sent list and can't get off! Anyways, I have a cool list in my hand and I'm off to shoot! Have fun everyone! Just a quick question - will I be receiving pics from the same person I send to, or someone else?

wildcargo 01/13/2007 #

Hey- to whom ever is my partner I just changed my screen name so if you are looking for Jennifer Menken that's me. My list is near the top. Sorry about the confusion.

user4899 01/13/2007 #

Chance are that with 112 people in this swap -- You will not recv. from the same person you are sending to. I, for example am sending to someone in Germany -- but recving from someone in Michigan (USA) -- I live in Florida.

If your not patient (like me!), I as coordinator of this swap have access to see who you are both sending to and recving from. If you contact me, I will let you in on WHERE your photos are coming from but not WHO they are coming from.

Also keep in mind -- these arent DUE TO BE SENT for over a month -- so please try to just wait out receiving them and in the meantime have fun taking the shots for your partner! Some people may need more time to "find the perfect shot"... or have more difficulty w/ the list they were given.

PaisleyBabe 01/13/2007 #

Hello Everyone, If you are taking pictures for me I can't wait to see them. I also want to let you know that I will be sending you a thank you note via snail mail. I will do the rating on the site as soon as I can. Thanks

bethne 02/ 3/2007 #

Grace Kelly, just want to let you know that I mailed out your pictures today! Enjoy!

sweetsugartree 02/ 4/2007 #

I'm sad. I have not received my pics yet :(

maozed 02/ 4/2007 #

I agree with the people who wanted to have this done again. Maybe more options next time? I actually found it hard to do 10 out of 15, but maybe I'm just not thinking creatively enough. Sweetsugar, the send by date is not until Feb. 15th. I suspect many people are still finishing their list. Have hope!

sweetsugartree 02/ 5/2007 #

:) thanks Maozed!

i liked this swap, too....it was fun. i carried my camera with me and observed everything.

user5585 02/23/2007 #

My photos got sent out a teensy bit late---I mailed them Sunday night from the grocery store so they would have gone out on Monday (February 19th). I emailed the recipient the day they were due to say they would be late but I didn't hear back..I hope she got them. The photos can be seen here . I actually made them into a book but I didn't take photos. I wish I had now.

user5215 02/26/2007 #

Lisa, Thank you for the lovely photos!

Rebekah 02/27/2007 #

my partner is a dud. this is such a bummer:(

jewels1 02/28/2007 #

Jack's Mom, I haven't recieved my pictures yet either. I'm hoping it's just slow mail. I've been in about 6 swaps, which I put a lot into, and been stiffed on 3 already, it's maddening. One of them the person had 18 no sends, how does someone like that even be allowed to swap anymore?

jewels1 02/28/2007 #

I see my swap partner is still marked "Not sent". :( I'm hoping it's just that she forgot to come back and mark sent. I think the least the "No-senders" can do is send the package they receive on to the person they were supposed to send to.

I sent my photos from the US to New Zealand and haven't been rated yet, but I haven't sent to New Zealand before, so I have no idea how long it will take. I'm assuming they're not there yet.

janeausten 02/28/2007 #

my partner hasnt sent yet either. its very disappointing. i was really looking forward to this swap. :(

paperholic 03/ 1/2007 #

I;ve just counted 27 no sends, which means nearly 1/4 of us are unlikely to receive anything - altho some may have sent but not pushed the "sent" button. This seems like a very high proportion of bad swappers.

I thought this was a really good idea for a swap, and there were so many great ideas for photographs in the lists. Like many others, I was looking forward to receiving some interesting photos. Ah well, at least mine have arrived safely, and a little bit of downunder is now adjusting to cooler weather in Canada!

jewels1 03/ 1/2007 #

I still haven't recieved anything either, what a huge bummer.

Creech, I'm so glad you liked the pics, they travelled a long way to get to you!

Paperholic, my pics made it to Australia also, they have a lot of adjusting to cooler weather to do, I sent them some Pennsylvania snowstorm!

alwaysjoy 03/ 2/2007 #

I keep checking back daily to see if Maya has gotten mine yet. I want to see what you think. Let me know if you haven't gotten them yet, I think the post can track it.

jakfrostwife 03/ 2/2007 #

Gosh, I did not receive mine either but then again I did get an email from the person that I mailed to but no rating? I did join the second & I'm hoping for better results....If I don't get any on the second one then I guess I'll just move on to other swaps....It's too bad since this was so much fun I was looking forward to receiving some interesting photos. Ah well, at least mine have arrived safely.

jakfrostwife 03/23/2007 #

I've still never received my photo's from this swap and it's been well over two months since it did assign partners..1/12..and over a month since it was due. Of course this person did post in her profile that she was running late but give me a brake? A email would of been in order if you were running late so I'll rate her a one and leave it at that.

On a brighter note I did receive my photo's from the second swap!
