(INTERNATIONAL VERSION is hosted by @fieldstudio31 ty! <3 )

For this swap all you need to do is purchase a disposable camera.

Take photos of points of interest around your town, scenery, flowers, your hobbies, include ONE picture of yourself, anything you find interesting or random, etc. Make this as artistic as you possibly can or want to.

Then mail your disposable camera to your ONE partner without developing the film. That's it. Please package your camera carefully in a bubble mailer.

Any questions? PM me! Let's make this fun, quick and painless! Please, at least, have a well filled out profile...don't make me have to ban you from this swap.

Are digital disposables permissible?

Wow, such a cool swap idea! Please PM me if you ever make an international version of this swap. I'm so there if you do. (I'm in Sydney, AUS, btw) :D

So glad you are hosting a newbie disposable camera swap melzenitram. The original swap is international but requires 10 swaps.

OH fieldstudio...I know thank you...let me tag you...you are correct. I saw it and wanted to do something for us noobs. :o)

disposable means disposable ...underwater...lomo...digital...whatever...as long as you can't or don't manipulate your film in any way...now you CAN put stuff over your lenses to get different effects.....

Does it matter if the disposable is B&W or Color?

melzenitram 05/19/2010 #

not at all....i know i love b&w pictures!

MommyKnows 05/21/2010 #

Minimum of how many pictures?

melzenitram 05/21/2010 #

shoot the whole roll of 24! I know i've seen a few disposables with 36 shots on them....i suppose you could pm your partner and discuss it with them...BUT i know some of us want to get started ASAP..SO minimum of 24 shots....agreed?

Do the pictures have to be from where I live now? I am stuck in Arizona, but am about to go to Alaska (where I wish I still lived!) and would love to take pictures there for this swap. If that is ok I would love to join.

melzenitram 05/21/2010 #

that would be a okay! just make sure you meet your deadline and i'm sure your swap partner will be wonderfully pleased with your pics! :o)

The 31st of May is Memorial Day... Post offices are closed Sunday and then again Monday. I couldn't get my shots even taken until the weekend so I'd miss the mail date. :::sigh:::

Darleneh710 05/23/2010 #

I am almost ready to join, but kind of leary about sending a pic of myself....

MommyKnows 05/23/2010 #

Maybe it doesn't need to be your whole self... or not even your face?.... could it just be like, say, your feet? the back of your head? just your eyes? you in a mask? ...etc (for future reference, in case this swap runs again or the date is bumped out a day)

Darleneh710 05/23/2010 #

@MommyKnows I like your suggestions...I agree the date should be June 1st..due to the Memorial Day holiday:)

melzenitram 05/24/2010 #

OOPS you are right...didn't even remember MEMORIAL DAY..sorry guys ...lemme check that...about the pic...it doesn't have to be your whole face....it can be partial shot of your face..your hand...your foot....an elbow...lol whatever YOU Feel comfortable doing...changing the date to JUNE 1st...thanks for the heads up guys...WHEW...

MommyKnows 05/24/2010 #
