Description:

What I want you to do for this swap is go for a walk, a hike or a bike ride and go exploring. Doesn't matter where, forest, city, town, park etc whereever you want just make sure it's a safe area. Bring your camera with you and take pictures of anything you think is interesting or may interest your partner (example architecture, public art, landscapes, wildlife etc). You'll need to print your pictures and then write a comment on the back of each about the subject in the picture, letting your partner know what it is or why you took a picture of it. Minimum of 8 photos.

The second thing you need is a letter to send your partner about your trip exploring. What did you do? example "I stopped for a picnic, explored a cave etc" What did you see? example " There where some beautiful blue herons but they wouldn't let me get close enough to take a picture" How did you feel? "The weather was very nice, it was relaxing and I found some cool things" EtC (those are just samples write whatever inspires you regarding your trip)

So 8 or more photos and a letter about your trip.

Note it's okay to explore indoor areas aswell (museums, shopping centres, tourist stops etc) as long as it's some place you've never been before.

It's also okay to explore a place you've been before if, IF there's been a significant change (change of season, renovations, expansion etc).

Interesting idea but it is too hot in parts of the US to be outside; also if you don't have a printer, you can not participate and/or too expensive to have pics printed at a photo shop...

This sounds fun, if you host one during winter I might participate. I need the exercise but in AZ it is too hot to even go shopping in the afternoon. The news literally just said "Later this week we'll be cooling down a bit to 105..." Yes, here in AZ the temp dropping to 105 is "cooling down". lol. Such a fun idea I'd love to see where other people go. =) Also, I print photos from Snapfish.com, inexpensive, and reasonable shipping, much cheaper than printer ink.

This is a monthly swap so just participate whichever month works best for you. You can explore indoor areas as well if you'd like, Shopping areas, museums, tourists stops etc.

I get my photos printed, for just 8 photo it isn't that expensive, just a couple dollars.

Is an 8 x 10 collage acceptable?

Each image should be at least 6x4 so your partner can properly see them so a college is okay as long as each image is 6x4 or larger.
