I Only Have Eyes For You-Close-Up Photo ATC's

Launch gallery slideshow

Swap Coordinator:FarStarr (contact)
Swap categories: Challenges  Artist Trading Card (ATC)  Photography 
Number of people in swap:16
Location:Other
Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:September 25, 2007
Date items must be sent by:October 10, 2007
Number of swap partners:3
Description:

For this swap you will take close-up photos of EYES. Be creative...think outside the box!

Cut the photos to ATC size (3 1/2" X 2 1/2"), back them with cardstock, and write what they are on the back with your name etc.

You will be sending 3 EYE close-up ATC's each to 3 partners for a total of 9 cards.

Of course this is International!

Red Tape* I am very serious about ratings! (Serious, but not crazy!) In order to participate you must have at least a 4.7 rating. Newbies are welcome, but please email me to let me know you are serious and fill out your profile. It's not fair to do the work and not get anything in return. I also expect everyone to be kind. Please message your partner if you are going to be late (the send by date is a requirement). Also, please message your partner first if they have marked sent but you haven't received your cards, in a reasonable amount of time, before rating a "1".

It's also really nice to note here when you send and receive your ATC's.

Most of all...Have Fun!

eye, eye, another fun swap...a word of warning, if you try to photograph your own eye, remember to switch the flash off!! - trust me on this!!

OOOooohhh...thanks for the tip, Yowell!

Oh Yowell, you didn't!!!!!

It would be cool if we each took a self-portrait eye. Then again, we don't want a bunch of blind photographers....make sure to shut off the flash! :)

Hi all, I'll assign partners as soon as I hear from our newbie :)

hello, all. Guess im the newbie. :-) i have all intentions of participating. in fact, cant wait to get started. i understand the strictness with newbies, sorry i musta skipped the email part. Anyone a member of morgue file photo archive site? I adore it, and it is usually what inspires my crafts and photos. And already have ideas for outside the box.

FarStarr 09/26/2007 #

No problem, synuay! thanks for getting back to me so quickly! I assigned partners...Have fun!

Now I'm going to have to go check out the morgue file photo archive site...:)

KimyCate, Dana and sleeping traveler (yup, again lol) I've just dropped yours in the mailbox tonight. Hope you like them! Please let me know when they arrive :)

Hi FarStar, Graphics-cactus and Dotty-dotty yours are on the way :-)

Farstarr - did you find the site? I have used morguefile it seems like forever. It is a site where others post photos that are royalty free. Meaning yes you can use them. Most photographers will simply ask that you drop them a note or photo of how you used their pictures. Many build a portfolio of how their work has been used.

I could save every photo posted, and will look through all the beautiful photography for hours. My inspiration comes from saving a photo and then altering it, inverting colors, making it look like a pencil sketch, etc. Many of my ATC's will be photos (or partial photos) from morgue file and i reinvent them (by hand) usually with one specific palette.

anyway, just wanted to see if you had found it.

www.morguefile.com have fun!!!

Hi synuay...the photos for theses swaps are supposed to be taken by yourself...the challange of the swap is to find the items/objects for the theme. :)

yowell 10/10/2007 #

Photos on their way from Scotland to Karenay (yes... from me again!) Sooticas Dreams and Bush-Happy_0.....we're still having postal strikes so I hope they're not delayed too much :)

FarStarr 10/10/2007 #

Hi synuay, I did find the morgue files, but I think I like Flickr better...although you definitely cannot use those pictures without permission!

And yes, Yowell is correct. This swap is for photos we take ourselves. I thought that was clear, but maybe it wasn't...???

I took your advice, Yowell. I shut the flash off, but you can still see the wrinkles...I mean smile lines! :)

FarStarr 10/10/2007 #

Oh yeah, my eyes went out today to Betty Bagwell, HappyCactus, and StuffbySteph.

Hi All, Yesterday was the send-by date and we still have a few not marked "sent". Please don't forget to let your partners know if you are going to be late. Thanks, Mandy
