The NEW Pass Around Camera Project

“There's no list with the midwest camera unless tarabull printed one off to go with it.”

“I believe Nonconformist was first on the list and was to print out the list to send along but sense there's a lot of hand to hand passing whoever has it now should be sent the list by me. Who's got it?”

“Noncom gave it to us, minus list. Birch and I took our pics and gave it to tarabull before Thanksgiving. I don't know if she passed it on yet or not. I did put an index card in with the camera to write down who took what shot so it's easier to sort out in the end, not that that helps now, lol.”

“Pudding? Farts? What's this thread coming to? Just take *%&^@#* picture and pass it along.
And she goes on her way to make snow angels! :-)”

“Tarabull has the Midwest camera along with Sass's index card. I'm sure she's printed a copy of the list, but I'll e-mail it to her just in case.”

“If she needs it tell her to e mail me and I'll send it to her.”

“Nigal, did I make it on the midwest list?”

“I got it yesterday, Nigal! Too bad, though! I wanted it for Sunday's hike in Cold Spring in the Hudson Valley. It was a little cloudy, but the views over the Hudson were gorgeous. We may be going back up that way this Sunday, though.”

“I believe you are on the list Ruby.”

“As if I could forget the Fair Ruby? Perish the thought!!”

“OK, where are the cameras?!?!...especially the West Coast camera!!!!

Bunch of slackers, I tell ya!”

“what's the shelf life of a disposable camera anyway??!!...LOL”

“Who gets the camera next in the East?

WTF was dayhiker thinking when he gave it to me to launch?”

“Hey Rockman, Here's the west coast line up. Wander who's sittin on it?

West Coast Cartel

WanderingPhotog (NV)
Hikin' Mike (CA)
Phil (CA)
phils son (CA)
Wind Walker (CA)
Rockman (CA)
Songbyrd (CA)
Dicey (WA)
Strider (WA)
Roam around (CO)
Chante (CO)
Griz (UT)
Hobbit (UT)”

“yeah, it ain't been over here either.”

“Haven't seen it.

One correction though... phils son is now living in AZ....so that might have an effect on the line up.”

“Dang kids! Tell um ta stay put. Now everythings messed up. ;)”

“I got the camera today... However... when I took it out of the envelope, there was some rattling (I haven't taken the camera out of its box... for fear of exposing the film unnecessarily)

I am afraid it might have gotten crushed inside its box during shipping... (it looks pretty smushed...)

Do you think I should just take it somewhere to get processed and start a new camera? (They can put it in their "film bag" and therefore avoid (hopefully) exposing the film...”

“take it to the lab and ask them to process any film they find inside of or spilling out from the camera which is rattling and located inside this crushed box.”

“I'll see if I can get to the lab this weekend! :-)

Word of caution to other TTers... Make sure to put the camera into a small box when mailing, to avoid getting it crushed! ;-)”

“I hope y'all know I'm sitting here at the END of the project laughing my butt off.”

“Shoot, I'm first on the list for the SE and still haven't taken my photo. I bought a camera for a Smokies trip in Oct and never took a pic. Maybe Sipsey in March.”

“hobbit - Is that foreshadowing? Did you take a picture of your heinie?”

“Dayhiker, you ever consider passing it along to someone else on the SE list? lol!”

“next time we need to limit the list to just 2 people and they have to live next door to each other”

“Hobbit - I think the word entropy has taken on a whole new meaning!! Perhaps entropy²?

“Phil, not only are you right, I gave up long ago on this ever really happening. I know how it went on the first go-round, and that was years ago.”

“I hope this pass around crap goes as swimmingly as a stone - you bastages!

I'm still smartin' from the dissin' I recieved during the original pass around fiasco.

LOL!

Yepper. Last time I purchased my own disposable and took test shots at several of my regional haunts in an effoprt to get the best out of my one and only pass around pic.

Um hummm, I was ready. But lo, the camera never arrived...

)o:”

“Jeez Dayhiker, get off yer dang butt! We're waiting!”

“this is taking so long that by the time i do get it i'll be like "why did someone send me a disposable camera?" and throw the dang thing away LOL”

“Thrifty,
Don't get yourself too pumped. You may be setting yourself for a letdown...

It's a cool concept - cudos to the original idea. But it's difficult to pull off. I was on the loop list last (first) time. I did as described above, only to never recieve the camera.

Going to local woods for trial shots was fun, tho...”

“I vote for a different project. I'll bring a disposable camera to the Apalachicola trip, and everyone can take pictures with it. There ought to be some interesting stuff that way, that's for sure. Especially if Cletus shows up again. ;)”

“Phil, you've added a new word to my vocabulary. It's not even in my dictionary.:p
Entropy, «EHN truh pee», is a measure of the amount of disorder or randomness in a system. Because there are many more random ways of arranging a group of things than there are organized ways, disorder is much more probable. For example, shuffling a deck of cards always leads to a jumbled distribution of cards, and never to an ordered sequence.

Yes, I think that explains it. ;)”

“Well, I think my camera has definitely encountered some "entropy"...

Will take it to the photo processor this weekend and see what happens... LOL

By the way, I did a pass-around water color painting before-- it was a blast and our painting traveled from South America to the U. S. and even to Europe!!”

“That would take years with TTers!”

“Oh well, it has given us another needless mission to worry about. If it gets to me cool, if not :p .”

“Hey Nigal!! I used the camera you sent me this past weekend to start off the Northeast "pass-the-camera" project! I used it in Ithaca with a huge waterfall! Should be wonderful. I will mail it out to the next victim tomorrow!

“Wow, there's a camera actually moving?! ;)


Pink, what's going on w/ the midwest camera? Shall I buy a new one and get it moving again?”

“Yes, there's a camera moving. But, I gotta admit, I cheated. I took a picture at Buttermilk Falls, which was beautiful (with the water rushing over the ice). But, I couldn't resist taking a picture later of Taughannock Falls (215 feet). It was just too majestic to pass up. Besides, at the rate this camera gets around, it will be 2009 before we use up 27 pictures.”

“i haven't seen it yet, but I wanted to be last anyway...”

“Expect it around January 2009”

“the film might be out of date by the time is gets to the last person”

“Cool Tree. Thanks for sending it along. Personally though, I'd shoot up the rest of the roll and call it a done deal.”

“Really? Why is that? I thought this was supposed to be a group effort...”

“I’m an altruist. I don’t see this going anywhere. But as I said, if it were me. You aren’t me and the whole thing doesn’t even need me to work.”

“I see. Well, I will try and send it along anyway and perhaps stress to the next party that maybe we should try and shake a leg here in an effort to make it work. Let's see what happens...”

“HI Sass.
Sorry I haven't been on TT for a bit-- Work has kept me busy!
:-)

By the way, congratulations on your upcoming graduation! :-)

Getting the photos (hopefully) this weekend.”
