I organised something similar on another forum (12 participants at a time) each user had 3 frames to use before passing on. I received the camera at the end and was to self-develop and scan the images then post in the thread. Pity it never made it past user number 4 and was lost in transit.
 
We've done pass the camera many times before on RFF. The camera will vanish at some point, and the last person to have it will take the blame. No way.
 
Sorry Gonsalco,

I voted "not interested". Although I am very interested. I am currently involved in two "traveling camera" projects that have not yet finished. So I feel like I should wait until they either conclude with a showing, or declare failure, before engaging in another project. I do like the immediacy of your project - everybody posts directly to a website. This will keep track of who is really participating, and who - for whatever reason - is just pretending.

Good luck, and I wish you luck in completing the project, or at least showing what you have done!

OK, so you have your own reasons for not wanting to participate. Fair enough, but why do you feel the need to wade into the thread and p**s in peoples' pockets :bang:

The idea is not to go in the same pitfalls that other chain-pass-the-camera went adding for example :

I will manage everything
Next photographer will be contacted and have 48 hours to reply its available to receive the camera. If not goes to the next one
Mail Tracking is mandatory. If you dont agree, you are out.

I do have hope that everything goes well.

I'd love to be in. I am in Brisbane, Australia. But am only new to RFF.

I've still got a cabinent full of Canon FD stuff too. From AE-1 to T90 and an assortment of lenses in great nic. I saw an add once looking for donations of working cameras to send to third world countries. I ummed and ar'd and then lost the add.

Let me know if you change the rules for newbies.

Cheers
 
I'm near Boston in the USA.

I did this kind of thing once before, and it was fun. Be prepared to have to nag people to move the camera along.
 
I am in.
-Bonn (Germany)-

My father has still a T70 and the manual. So if there is a question regarding the handling you can find help here.

I favour the idea of a time limit for every participant.

EDIT: After checking the shipping prices for parcels with tracking number within EU I am out again.

Wayne (venchka) tuned me into this. I'm in. Even if it is a few snapshots on a roll around Houston.

An aside, I leave for Luanda, Angola in couple of weeks, so I could get the camera to Africa. I also have a trip planned in June.

Is that cheating, taking it on a trip?

This is sort of like a geocaching travel bug...

Thanks,
