Around the World with Camera 6...

[Síle]

should I include a cookie for our next participant?

and that is the largest manual for the simplest camera I've seen in a while. will not be opening it

Holy cow we're down to the last 4???
I think we could use an enema for the lost camera 7... might get that moving just as smoothly!

PS.. you can send the cookie to me

 

[Removed Account2]

No enema for camera 7! Not yet!

You'd end up soiling the entire Royal Mail's head office, or something worse!

I notice Shawn is still on the list. Shouldn't we have removed him again?

I thought you had wanted him "taken out" in another way Fred and told ya... I just can't do it!

Nothing to see here folks.. move right along...

Hey Sile, I'm a shooter and I'm all for hire!
LOL!

Excellent.... I may just have a job for you Erik

We do mean shooting photo's of course.. (remember he's a law student!!)

 

[Removed Account2]

I'll shoot anyting from a Minox or a Instamatic, up to and including 40mm Bofors triple A.............

Law students (and lawyers) are tricky, they must not be allowed a second chance!

Of course Shawn : I'd grab an airline ticked, go find him and shoot the breeze for a couple of days, bragging about all the halfdecent cameras I've used to little or no effect in my life, and sound him out if there's still a chance of suing the manufacturers of said ill constructed equipment!

Sorry, this was a busy weekend (rowing in the HOCR!) and i didn't get to take my picture. I'll hopefully have the camera in the mail by Thursday, though, so don't lose all hope.

So yes Shawn... it's THAT soon!

Here's the scary part...

Do the batteries last that long?

There were batteries in that camera??
Amazing how time distorts memories....

 

[cdholden]

Someone has provided a spare (at least there was one when I had it).

 

[k_jupiter]

I knew I put some in but they have a shelf life also. Decades don't hack it.

How many days since the first shot was taken, I wonder? Any worries about the integrity of the film in the camera? The camera probably baked in sweltering summer heat at least a few times during the journey. I suppose we shall see soon enough.

Therein lies the fun of the Travelling Camera project...
And the pain......

First shot was around April 1st of 2009.

Taken in Santa Clara County California. The film is Fuji 160 pro... hard to say what time and temp has done to it. I didn't expect it to take two years to finish the rounds. Not that I am complaining. It is what it is.

Film is like a box of chocolates....

How many times have you been incriminated by chocolate?
Oooooh, the plot thickens.

 

[nickandre]

not to be nit picking or anything, but...

I would imagine that the batteries would be suited to get through ONE roll of film

 

[k_jupiter]

Sorry, I made a change last minute and forgot. Sign of getting old.

How many more people does camera 6 need to visit? And is it going to arrive home before camera 7?
