Important to get that part right. It's hard to focus with your i's crossed...

Ahhh, that's a relief enjoy

cdholden · Mar 22, 2014

NO INSTANT REPLAYS

I'm beginning to get anxious... stomach churning, hands trembling... toro_mike is next on the list.
CHECK ADDRESS BEFORE SENDING THIS TIME, MIKE!

toro_mike · Mar 22, 2014

Yeah, yeah... blame me... Take the easy way out, HA HA!! I was so naïve on my first go with this craziness

toro_mike · Mar 22, 2014

By the way, I had a PM from Alex, to which I replied with my address and phone. Wow, I never thought I'd see this camera...

cdholden · Mar 24, 2014

You signed up as a young buck and will be receiving it as a codger. Time flies when we're having fun!

ambaker · Mar 27, 2014

The Oly is in the wind... and on its way to Colorado.

Wow. Super progress!

Here's where we are:

Sile Ireland

kraker Breda, The Netherlands
nicholai Denmark
Steve Smith Isle of Wight, UK

cdholden, Nashville, TN
Jim17x Worth, IL
M.A. Longmore Hartsdale, NY

We are still waiting for confirmation from Jim 17x and M.A. Longmore, but if that doesn't come, it means we could possibly be only two more shooters away from completing this round!

I hope I didn't just jinx the whole friggin' thing.

The camera has safely landed in Colorado... Hurrah!

Update us, please - when you have a chance.

Starting to warm up in Colorado?

Hope all is well.

Oh trust me, it gets tedious after 5 or 6 months of no rain. You wake up, you know without looking the sky is blue, not a cloud in sight. Try taking B&W with that kind of background!

It's beautiful in Colorado... 70 something F (21'ish C for you out-of-towners) degrees today! The first shot is taken, and I'll get the second in a day or so. I'll PM cdholden when I'm ready to ship!

Sorry for the delay, I was sent to Seattle for a week for work.

Black Dog · Apr 11, 2014

Aahhh, sweet memories of doing this back in them noughties...

Shawn Rahman · Apr 20, 2014

For those celebrating, Happy Easter!

Seems fatigue has set in - it's been 9 days since the last post.

But this project is still alive, and almost done! Let's get an update on the Olympus if we can, Mike.

Hope all are well.

Shawn

Rick A · Apr 20, 2014

Celebrating a festival based on a pagan goddess of fertility?... I'm in favour of that!

Steve.

toro_mike · Apr 25, 2014

The camera is in transit to cdholden! Sorry for the delay... work tends to take over life sometimes it seems

Black Dog · Apr 26, 2014

Woad up

Get that woad ready!

Superb, Mike! I would amend your sentence and say that "...work tends to take over life [almost always] it seems.
