Swap closed! Please check out the next one--Disposable Camera Swap #2 for more fun!
A disposable camera adventure for those who love photographic irreverence and a good challenge!
Materials required: One disposable camera & a bubble mailer.
Your task...
When you sign up-->note six (or more) possible (varied) themes/subjects in the comments section. These are your challenge/assignment to the person mailing to you! Get a disposable camera (24 or more exposures). Choose one (or more) of your partner's themes and take at least 18 artistic, wacky, wonderful, irreverent, satirical, beautiful or inventive photos. (Leave a few exposures for your partner to take when it arrives.) Mail the camera to your partner with a short note about the theme you chose and your photos/experience/ideas etc. When your camera arrives you can finish the roll with your own take on the theme(s) they chose from your list. Develop and enjoy your "crappy camera" photos!
A few notes...
Please vary your themes and keep some general enough to accommodate the different opportunities that people may have to take photos. I'll ask you to list a few more if needed. You may choose one or several of your partner's themes. This is your starting point. Do take your partner's theme and give your own take on it! There are several weeks to find your camera & take your photos so you can carry your camera about and try to capture some great shots for your partner. Please plan to spend some time on this. It's not a good project to do the day before it's due! WOW your partner with your take on their theme! Expect the unexpected! Do understand the disposables are unpredictable and many shots may not come out. I want folks to feel free to experiment with the camera and theme rather than to just take safe shots. Please give a 5 if they worked with at least one of your themes and sent along the camera on time. (You can offer feedback on the photos themselves and the efforts taken in the comment.) And of course just let me know if you have any problems, concerns or questions.... Any disposable cam is welcome but know that you don't have to simply go to the corner store. There are also Black and White, Lomography Lomolitos (color flash) or underwater disposables on the market etc. and you can also be experimental in how you take the photos (i.e. vaseline on the lens etc). Feel free to use the comments section to list links,resources, ideas and info. if you know of cool disposables or techniques! Not required but nice--> It would be great to find a way to share some of the resultant photos with the person who sent to you. (If you get a disk of the photos you can send a copy to them or a couple of the best prints or email some files.)
Requirement: Please have at least 10 completed/rated swaps and an impeccable swap record. (I will check profiles.) PM before the sign up deadline if you have questions or have been rated unfairly. No flaking folks!
This one is for fun and the love of taking photos!
