Description:

You will need a journal or notebook with at least 50 pages and we will fill it with pictures. Here are the conditions:

  1. You will take at least 2 photos PER WEEK. You will glue or tape in the photos and write about where you took the picture and why you like it. This is 2 photos, every week until deadline. When you glue in the photo and write about it, please indicate week number (week 1, week 2) so we can keep track of it. Try to take a different photo every time. Taking pictures of your dog 20 times does not count!

  2. These are things you need in your journal in addition to the required 2 a week.

* 3 poems and a picture that describes the poem * Picture of yourself * Picture of your 3 most treasured things * Picture of 3 most important people to you * 2 of any black & white picture * Picture of someone laughing * Picture of love

  1. All photos must be taken by your camera - this means either you can take the picture or your kid/significant other but you cannot use some stranger's photo

  2. Deadline: This will go on until July 31st. So the last week of July is the last week you need the 2 entries per week. You will have 21 month from deadline to send it out. I've extended this as people have messaged me and required more time for the additional required photos.

This is for total of 18 weeks so that means a total of 50 pictures at the least. (36 plus the 14 required) Feel free to decorate the journal though not necessary.

With this being a long, hard swap, I'm limiting it to 4.8 rating with no recent no sends unless you can explain it to my satisfaction. No newbies at this time, sorry.

Due to the length of time, I cannot angel this swap but if you get flaked on, I will send you a blank journal for you to use at a later date and some extras.

EDIT TO ADD: I have over 300 photo papers (4x6 with no tab) so if you need it, I'd be happy to set up a private swap. Great way to get rating if you're a newbie wanting to participate haha.

This sounds like a lot of fun, its on my watch list for now

terralily 03/ 6/2009 #

Umm 18 weeks at two photos a week is 36 photos....I'm happy to do fifty, but that would be more than two a week.

zerofantasies 03/ 6/2009 #

terralily, I know its 36 plus the ones up there that are required under number 2

terralily 03/ 6/2009 #

Ahhhh...got it. I was thinking those were part of the two a week. Thank you for the clarification... :)

zerofantasies 03/ 6/2009 #

no problem, I did go ahead and edit the swap to make it a bit more clear. Thanks =)

terralily 03/ 6/2009 #

I think that may have been the lawyer training. Haha :) Much clearer now.

leahs3girls 03/ 6/2009 #

This does really sound like fun!! It will make me take more pictures!

For the extra that we do (Poem, love) can we put them anywhere inside the journal? Should there be a special place for them?

NickyStratton 03/ 6/2009 #

this sounds good i'm going to join as you get a long time to do though whitch is great and i love taking pictures :)

you can count me in .

zerofantasies 03/ 6/2009 #

leahs3girls, you can put it anywhere in the journal, just make sure to label it =)

smelinapants 03/ 7/2009 #

Must we send photos of ourselves? I think it'd be kind of weird to have some stranger on the other side of the world looking at pictures of me and three of my friends.

I would join if we didn't have to send a pic of ourselves and friends.

zerofantasies 03/ 7/2009 #

smelinapants, I never said it had to show your face haha. I figure we see lots of photos of other people online everywhere, it shouldnt be a big deal. But like I said, I never did specify face =)

can song lyrics be used as poems?

zerofantasies 03/11/2009 #

Shank, you can put song lyric in there with a picture if you'd like but for poem, I'm keeping it an actual poetry whether its published or something you wrote.

JaydeesLaydee 03/20/2009 #

I'm a newbie who just joined today so I signed to just watch it...photography is one of my hobbies...I hope this one is a success.

Adorkable 03/27/2009 #

Oh I'm excited about this one! I am taking a photography class right now, and I've taken 2 other ones, as well. My passion is Fashion Photography :)

How big should the photos be? 4x6? How big should the journal be? lol, sorry for all the questions!

EllyScissorhands 03/27/2009 #

the dimension of the photos is standard or i can chose that?

zerofantasies 03/28/2009 #

Journal should be standard notebook size. Photo can be whatever size you want but don't make it too small please. I assume 4 by 6 will be the most common.

NickyStratton 03/31/2009 #

i'm sorry i have to drop out i fear that i might get a 1 or a 3
so i am dropping out of this swap sorry all

good luck with it any way

Sounds like a great swap. I missed the sign up date but if you end up having an opening or needing an angel, please let me know.

thanks

Just checking in. Having fun taking photos. Nathalie

TennesseeSannie 07/ 5/2009 #

loving this swap! if you're doing digital... a great way to store you photos and keep up with what you've got is walgreens.com. you can edit and caption so you know what you've taken and they regularly do 50 photos at half price. pick up at the store or mail! and you can share your photos with others over the net. Can't wait for sending and receiving day!!! Hope yall are having fun too!!
