VERY VERY SIMPLE I SEND A DISPOSABLE CAMERA OUT TO THE PERSON SWAP BOT PICKS FOR ME, THEY TAKE ONE PICTURE AND SEND IT TO THE PERSON THEY GOT AND SO ON.

THE ONE PICTURE YOU TAKE CAN BE OF WHAT EVER YOU WANT. THE LAST PERSON SENDS IT TO ME AND I WILL DEVELOPE AND POST THE PICS IN THE GALLERY HERE AND IN MY LIVE JOURNAL COMMUNITY http://community.livejournal.com/xcountryphoto/

I SENT SEVERAL CAMERAS OUT IN 2002 AND THEY NEVER CAME BACK. I SENT ONE OUT IN 2004 THAT IS STILL WORKING IT'S WAY AROUND THE UNITED STATES.

THIS IS YEARS IN THE MAKING AND I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT WORK! SO I ASK THAT IF YOU SIGN UP PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT WHEN YOU GET THE CAMERA, TAKE THE PICTURE AND HAVE IT NO LONGER THAN 3 DAYS. I WANT IT TO BE COMPLETED BY THE END OF THE YEAR. IF FOR SOME REASON YOU NEED TO HAVE IT LONGER THAN 3 DAYS PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU EMAIL ME AND LET ME KNOW

A DISPOSABLE CAMERA USUALLY IS 27 EXPOSURES, BUT JUST TO BE SAFE I WANT TO JUST HAVE 25 PEOPLE SIGN UP, AND IF ALL WORKS OUT I WILL BE DOING THIS AGAIN.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME [email protected]

THANKS FOR PLAYING

AND JUST TO MAKE SURE THIS WORKS, IF YOU HAVE A RATING BELOW 3 I WILL HAVE TO BAN YOU [SORRY]

Sounds like a great idea. I can't wait to see all the photos.

user2289 08/25/2006 #

Perhaps you should make it so only people who send out are allowed to join? Say, with a rating or 3 or higher?

AKKI: YOUR RIGHT, I'LL EDIT RIGHT NOW!

Loribird 08/25/2006 #

This is a wonderful idea! I'm in Alaska - I'll be sure to send a good photo!

vilandra 08/25/2006 #

VILADRA: I HAD SAID U.S ONLY BUT GO AHEAD ANS SIGN UP

user1699 08/26/2006 #

YO YO, you can count on me! Such a cool idea, if only people do what they say they will. I hope to see you get a camera back, filled with lovely shots. Artfully yours, Laura/Lark

user3693 09/18/2006 #

This will be my first SwapBot swap ever. I'm very excited!

Rebekah 09/27/2006 #

When should we mark our swap sent ? When we send out the first camera or the last (which would be the one belonging to our swap partner correct)?

miantifaz 09/27/2006 #

JACKS MOM: THERE IS ONLY GOING TO BE ONE CAMERA, IM SENDING IT SATURDAY. WHEN YOU GET IT, YOU TAKE YOUR PICTURE AND SEND IT TO YOUR PARTNER. THATS WHEN YOU CAN MARK YOUR SWAP SENT

Rebekah 09/29/2006 #

I'm sorry, I was totally confused. I thought we each sent out a camera and it was a round robin- I would take a picture and send it on and then get the next camera and do the same thing, so 26 cameras would go out and everyone would get a chance to get a camera- does that make sense? I sent out a camera today under that premise. Ugh, Ugh, Ugh. I'll email my partner about returning my camera unless people don't mind if another comes around- I can post the pictures as well. Sorry, 'bout that.

miantifaz 10/ 4/2006 #

JACKS MOM: I JUST EMAILED YOU ABOUT IT, BUT I'LL ADD IT HERE TOO JUST IN CASE OTHER PEOPLE MIGHT WANT TO KNOW. IT'S PROBABLY BETTER THAT WE JUST CONTINUE THE CAMERA THAT YOU SENT OUT. I'D HATE FOR PEOPLE TO PAY FOR SHIPPING TWICE. WE JUST DO YOURS. AS LONG AS YOU POST THE PICS SO WE CAN ALL SEE THE END RESULT

user1699 10/16/2006 #

YOYO, I noticed that you are the only one who has officially been marked down as having sent. No one else in the list of participants is down as "sent". I also know that more than one person should have participated by now. Am I just getting too antsy to receive the camera or is somebody not participating somewhere?

mouseybrat 10/24/2006 #

Camera rcvd in Massachusetts on 10/23. Mailing out on 10/24.

textdrivebys 10/28/2006 #

received today 10/27; will send out on monday 10/30

mercuriousmith 11/15/2006 #

where is it now?

user1746 11/17/2006 #

Yes, I'm wondering the same thing...where is the camera now. With the holidays coming up, I fear we could get hung up with people traveling and not being home when the camera arrives, therefore unable to get it sent on in a timely manner. For instance I'll be gone Dec 22-28...so if the camera were to arrive during that time it would sit for a week before it moves again. It would be great if people would take just a second to write a brief note that it's been received and sent on...perhaps even where if not who it is being sent on to. That way, if someone is going to be out of town there is the chance they'll see the post and be able to let people know the camera will be stalled for a day or two. Just a thought.

miantifaz 11/21/2006 #

I ASK THAT EVERYBODY PLEASE EMAIL ME WHEN YOU RECEIVE AND WHEN YOU SEND THE CAMERA OUT, SO THAT I CAN COME ON HERE AND UPDATE.RIGHT NOW I BELIEVE THE CAMERA IS WITH THE 4TH PERSON SO PLEASE LETS BE PATIENT + FASTER AND WE'LL SEE HOW IT ALL WORKS OUT

THANK YOU

I WILL ALSO BE UPDATING @ MY LIVE JOURNAL COMMUNITY IF ANY OF YOU HAVE LJ'S FEEL FREE TO JOIN AND ADD TO YOUR FRIENDS LIST http://community.livejournal.com/xcountryphoto/

user1746 12/ 7/2006 #

Anyone know where the camera is?

user1699 12/ 7/2006 #

December is trickling through my fingers and still no camera. I too, would like to know where it is.

lgj302 12/12/2006 #

Anybody know where the camera is????

user1746 12/21/2006 #

I went to the livejournal page referenced above, and the camera update was still in November I believe...so, I hope the camera is somewhere safe and warm, cuz it doesn't seem to be circulating anymore. How sad. Maybe it will surface again after the holidays.

miantifaz 12/21/2006 #

HI EVERYBODY. I GOT AN EMAIL FROM withallhope. SHE IS GOING TO BE SENDING THE CAMERA TO HER PARTNER I BELIEVE EITHER TODAY OR TOMORROW. I AM GOING TO BE CHANGING THE DEADLINE SINCE ITS TAKING A LOT LONGER THAN I THOUGHT TO GET AROUND.

lgj302 12/26/2006 #

I received today and am going to take my photo and stop at the post office to mail back out.

Rebekah 01/16/2007 #

Do we know where this is? The deadline is fast approaching...

user1746 01/25/2007 #

Where oh where is the camera inquiring minds want to know?

user3257 01/26/2007 #

I am taking the camera to the post office tomorrow 1/26/07

mercuriousmith 02/ 6/2007 #

I got the camera on 2/2 and I'm mailing it today 2/6

Rebekah 02/27/2007 #

this end date needs to be changed again. i haven't seen the camera yet and the swaps supposed to be over in 4 days.

user1746 03/ 1/2007 #

Just got a "you haven't sent you items notice" from swap bot. This is apparently not working very well. I am trying to find a job and am gone a lot now for interviews around the country. This is my last swap, I'd like to opt out of this as I'm afraid the mythical camera may show up and I'll be long gone. Sorry, but this has taken way too long.

user1699 03/ 1/2007 #

I also got the you haven't sent your items notice and will continue to get them apparently, until "somebody who can" goes in and stops them. I would be happy to register as sent IF I could actually get the camera. Where did this swap turn into a giant regret? (as in, why did I sign up for this ?) I guess you can say that the crowd is turning ugly--stop the irritating e-mails. puh-leez!!

mouseybrat 03/ 6/2007 #

I personally don't regret joinging this swap, I am just disappointed to people couldn't meet the guidelines in mailing the camera out within 3 days of receiving it. Those of you who haven't gotten it yet aren't out anything. I was the first one to get the camera and mailed it out the day after I got it, so I am out the postage to mail it.

user2320 03/19/2007 #

Where's the camera now? And could YOYO please reset the end date again? There are way too many of us who haven't rec'd yet that even if we did one-day turnarounds, we couldn't meet the current end date f March 31. Shall we try for May 30? I'd like a more current update, too as long as I'm throwing out a whiny wishlist.

user1699 04/ 4/2007 #

I kept getting the "you haven't sent" e-mail and marked my self down as "sent" just to stop them coming. Just so everyone knows that I never got it and that things did not go awry on my watch. Any one have any ideas on what happened to the camera?

nicole 05/17/2007 #

I sent out of Richmond, VA this past week, i was person #11 to have it.

user2320 05/18/2007 #

OMG! I got the camera last night, and I'm snapping the pic I've had planned for 6 months and mailing it out today! WOOOHOOO!

Rebekah 08/11/2007 #

Does this camera even exist anymore? It's getting somewhat old. Is there a way to just end this swap and mark folks as sent? There's been nothing going on for over 2 months.

user1746 10/ 1/2007 #

I echo Jack's Mom above. Please just end this. I think if we're still on the non receiving line we all should mark as sent and just get on with our lives. I think we should just chalk this up to a wonderful idea that didn't work out as planned. Thanks to whomever dropped the ball...how hard was this anyway even if all you snapped was a picture of your mailbox! Was the postage an issue...it couldn't have been much, I unfortunately will never know as I'll never get the camera...

Grinch 10/ 1/2007 #

I see the swap coordinator has not been on swapbot since May so I emailed her but I am marking my sent just to get it off my to send list. I have not received the camera yet but believe it is a lost cause.

Bloodrecuted 05/ 5/2008 #

I'm marking this as sent. If I receive a camera, I will send it on it's way after taking a picture. I don't hold out much hope, though.

suttonjp 07/ 5/2016 #

Marking sent to clear my list. It's been open for 8 years now.
