Description:

This swap is like those Photo a Day Challenges you see on the internet (Facebook, Instagram, blogs, etc.) only we have our photos professionally printed and send them to each other. Please only join if you have developed a skill for photography or if you have affinity with it. You don't have to be a professional but an effortless snapshot of the things listed won't do. Also, photos may be edited (for example to enhance colors or apply filters), but no photoshopping cats into it or replacing a sunny sky with a cloudy sky, etc.

The list of things to photograph (starting with May 1, ending with May 31):

  1. 10 AM

  2. 10 PM

  3. book(s)

  4. favorite

  5. in my bag

  6. yum

  7. can't live without

  8. where I work/craft/write

  9. sunset/sunrise

  10. colors

  11. cringe

  12. door(s)

  13. bottle

  14. home

  15. in my cup

  16. button(s)

  17. commute/travel

  18. close up

  19. shimmer/shine

  20. a scent I love

  21. shoes worn today

  22. keeping me busy

  23. animal

  24. vehicle

  25. on my plate

  26. sign

  27. guilty pleasure

  28. ritual/tradition

  29. a pathway

  30. obsession

  31. free time

The fun about these things is that everything is subjective to interpretation, so interpret away. The photos must be of good quality. Professionally printed, not too grainy, too blurry, no fingers in front of the lens, etc. On the back of each photo you write which day it was taken and possibly a line or two about the subject photographed.

After May 31st I'm giving a couple of weeks for those who'd like to edit their photos before sending them off. The send deadline is June 20th, so no rush.

Happy hunting :)

P.S. Time intensive, so type 3 swap. Also, minimum rating is 4.9 because sometimes a low rating is undeserved. I do check profiles and if I doubt you for whatever reason I'll have to remove you, whether you meet the rating requirement or not. No unrated swappers or very new swappers.

Instead of writing on the back of the photo, could we put them into a book and on the opposite page write what it is?

Sure, that's a good idea. Feel free :)

I have only just found this website and am from the UK. Have done similar things in the past and have never disappointed anyone. This sounds amazingggg is there any chance I can get in on it despite my lack of swaps? :/

Sorry Nicki, you really need some ratings. It wouldn't be fair to other swappers otherwise. (But after completing 5 swaps you can host your own swaps, so feel free to host one like this.)
