Description:

This swap is for those of us who want to think "outside the box" and have a fun photography experience. I recently got a new camera and am jumping to learn all its features, and in a fun way.

Basically we are doing an A is for... type swap. But with a creative spin. For example

Take a picture of a Cow and you have D is for Domestication

The goal here is to be as creative as possible! None of the old A is for Apple type for this swap. So what you are taking a picture of does not have to start with that letter of the alphabet, it just somehow has to relate to that letter. I'd say it can be as abstract as you want it to be. Another example:

A picture of a comfy chair, a throw and a book could be R is for Relaxation if that is the type of thing you like to do to relax. A picture of a bug in the house could be G is for Gross.

You will take one picture for each letter of the alphabet. Print them out and put them into a small album. This could be handmade, or a little cheap one from the store, whatever you prefer as long as it is put together nice and not falling apart. NO loose pictures. Put them into alpabetical order in the album. Somewhere on or near each picture needs to be the explanation. For the Cow example, maybe write Domestication in the corner of the picture. Just so your partner will know exactly what they are looking at. Since this swap's goal is to be out of the box that is definitely needed. If you have a story / long explanation you can write that on the back of the picture if you want, or on the page of your album whatever works for you.

This is International, please keep this in mind when signing up. Although I don't think a little plastic photo album and 26 pictures will cost much to ship.

If you want to, include a picture of yourself as well. = )

Because I want everyone to be as creative as possible, there will be a long-ish period between the sign up and send-by date. I don't want anyone to have to rush. Of course if you finish early you can always send as soon as you are done.

I feel like it shouldn't have to be said but just in case...EDIT: No pictures of lewd/sexual/ or anything disturbing or graphic I suppose a good rule of thumb is: If you'd be uncomfortable showing it to your grandma/pa do not send it.

Sorry, no unrated players as this is time/effort intensive. No recent (within last 6 months) no sends, 1's or 3's. Please have a nice filled out profile. At least 5 type 3 swaps. I will ban after the swap closes.

Any questions, please comment on the swap or send me a PM and I will be happy to answer.
