Description:

My husband bought me a new Nikon D40 camera for sweetest day and I LOVE taking pictures. I ran across a swap like this that ran in 2007 and thought it would be fun to do it again!

So if you love being creative, going on fun scavenger hunts, and love using your camera...this is the swap for you!

Each participant will list 15 random items in the "leave a comment" section below...PLEASE POST YOUR LIST by Wednesday, November 11, 2009. Partners will be assigned Friday, November 13, 2009. Pictures should be developed and sent by December 11, 2009. This will give everyone PLENTY of time to participate!

Check out your partners list and choose 10 of their suggested items to take a creative photo of!! PLEASE keep photos clean in subject, non-suggestive and NOT what someone else might consider offensive - even if you don't mind it.

Be creative with the items and angles....and make them pictures that you might like to receive. You may choose to send MORE than 10, just realize you MIGHT only get 10 in return.

Have your pictures printed and send the GOOD QUALITY -- ACTUAL PHOTOGRAPHS 4x6 inches in size to your partner.

Please make sure to package the pictures to avoid moisture (ex: plastic ziptop bag) -- or other ailments that might damage photos -- and w/ sturdiness to avoid being bent in transit.

If you do not understand or cannot find one of the items on your partners list, try emailing them or skip it and go on to a different option. If you find run into difficulties completing 10 items from their list -- email them asking for a few more suggestions or any explanations.

In addition to your pictures please include a picture of yourself AND a hand-written letter to your partner telling them about your adventure and about each photograph!

Have Fun!

candigirl 11/11/2009 #

i am still trying to make sense of that weird Halloween scavenger hunt list posted by @crafststmungersmills ..

if you aren't participating in this swap, then who is the list for??

you are supposed to post a list of things for your ASSIGNED PARTNER to photograph...not to mention that by the time partners are assigned, Halloween will be long over with, so even if she was a participant, it would be pretty hard to get any of this stuff as choices to take pic's of...such as a trick-or-treater (it will be after Nov 11...)

Methinks @crafststmungersmills needs some reading comprehension tutoring......

lovelovelove90 11/11/2009 #
