Camera 6 sign up

k_jupiter · Jan 19, 2009

All,

My apologies for the cornfusion.

#6 is sitting here, waiting fo me to revise the list, send it to Sile in Ireland, and let it rip. It SHOULD have been done. I am going to roll our latest person into this list and get it out of here.

Camera 7 will be in Sile's capable hands whenever she decides to do it.

I anticipate Camera 5 getting here any day.

I'm ready willing and able whenever you are Tim..

I think we'll wait for Camera 6 to have a few notches in it's belt and for Camera 5's safe return to the mother ship before unleashing the wrath of Camera 7 if that's ok with everyone?

Marc Akemann · Jan 21, 2009

I agree.

Marc Akemann · Mar 23, 2009

Great Marc thanks for letting me know.

From reading back over this thread (please correct me if I'm wrong) we have:

A Canon Sureshot camera
A Fuji Pro 160S film
A Theme "Cornerstone"
23 people on the list (?)

I'll pm everyone who was on the list just to ensure they're still in and assuming they are, there should still be room for another few to join. Hopefully we'll get this one round the world within the year

Hi Sile,
Can I make a reservation for camera 7?

Síle · Mar 24, 2009

Sidearm, there's probably going to be space left on Camera 6 if you're interested. I'm waiting for confirmation from everyone that they're still in and as soon as I have that, I'll open it up for the last few spaces.
I'll let you know as soon as I can.

sidearm613 · Mar 25, 2009

Thanks a lot Sile, feel free to e mail me or PM me.

Hi Sile,
If there are open spaces I'd like to join in. PM me if there's an opening. If not I'll wait for round 7.
thanks,

Larry

Sile - I was part of the GREAT round 5, and would love to get in on Round 6. Let me know if there is an opening as well.

Síle · Apr 11, 2009

Ok everyone, Camera 6 is on it's way..

This is the list as it stands at present (alphabetically - it won't be sent out in this order). I have sent a couple of emails to those who haven't responded to PMs but for the most part.. this is it :

Athanasius80
Blackdog
BJazz
Catem
Cdholden
FilmSprocket
Flatulent1
Guissimo
Gr82bart (?)
Jnanian (?)
K_Jupiter
Keithostertag (?)
Largely
Lmn
MartinB
Rst
ShawnRahmen (There IS an opening and I've included you in it!)
Sidearm
Síle
SteveSmith
TheBanana
TimGray
Walter23 (very appropriate being #23 on the list!)

Those with question marks have still to be confirmed.. If there are any other errors and omissions please let me know as soon as you can.
There are also a few shots still free if anyone else wishes to join in.

Tim has very kindly added another disposable camera to the package.. You don't have to shoot it if you don't wish to, but if you would like to take a photo of where the camera was temporarily, or of something other than the theme of "Cornerstones" please feel free to do so with this one. If you don't want to, just stick it back in the box and send it on.. Thanks for all the work in getting this to this stage Tim.

Looking forward to seeing how quickly we can move this one on with or without the added intervention of Pagan rituals!

I only have one regret and that is this did not get out of here earlier and no wait, I only have two regrets and that is that there is still no one from Africa, S.America, Asia, and Australia, no wait, I have only three regrets and that is we could not do this with a 5x7 camera, and oh yes, that a fourth regret....

Thanks for managing this Sile.

Regards,

tim in san jose

jaimeb82 · Apr 11, 2009

I am in.

jaimeb82 · Apr 11, 2009

we can send around a 4x5 plate with film, take the picture and replace the negative sheet.

flatulent1 · Apr 11, 2009

Ahh, I'm looking forward to this, though what I'm going to make of 'cornerstone' is anybody's guess.

How about a Mamiya 645 film back for a future round? It'd be a short round, obviously, unless we used 220. I have a spare back and insert I'd be willing to sacrifice for the cause, though I'd be somewhat less than useful at organizing this sort of thing. :rolleyes:

nickandre · Apr 11, 2009

I would be willing to participate if there's still room.

Síle · Apr 14, 2009

A little known fact is that Walt Disney's father worked on the Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago. In part it is believed this is where a lot of the ideas for Disneyland came from.

I had a really great idea. only to find out it was already being done for the last 5 years. So I guess I'm too late for the sign up of round 6. Any idea's when round 7 is going to start? I did see a thread about a suggestion for round 7. I'm in the netherlands by the way.

The camera will be going to Austria before it's return to Ireland.. so if you want to join in, I'm sure there'd be no objections to sending it to the Netherlands first? Just let me know.. and if you're interested.. PM me your address.

By the way.. it was a really great idea

Peter de Groot · Jan 14, 2010

Pm send.
