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!

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

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.

Here's the scary part...

Do the batteries last that long?

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.

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....

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


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

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