proenca Posted June 27, 2012 Share #1 Posted June 27, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi there, Posting here since I have LeicaM's since ages ago, post quite a lot here in the forum and want some L-CAMERA-FORUM members on this : I have an old Canon T70 that is sitting on a shelf gathering dust so I came up with a nice idea ( or so I think ) : pass the camera around the world ( let's start with Europe ) and everyone takes pictures with it. I know that few started this project ( with cheaper cameras ! ) and they usually get lost, but I have three good reasons for this one to work : - every person must be accepted to enter this challenge - is mandatory that the shipping is with tracking number - and the most important of all : a good cause - Cancer In the end, 2 photos per photographer will be selected ( that participated ) and will be created a book ( via blurb ), with 10.00€ markup price. Those 10.00€ will be directly donated to the Cancer Society, so all this to have fun and help a good cause. I created a website , Pass The Canon , go there and see the rules and how to join. Send me an email ( email AT passthecanon DOT com ) if you want to join - check the website what is needed to send in the email. Camera will stay with each person for a week and then shipped to another. The only cost you will have is shipping the camera to the next person ( as well the developing of the film you will use with the camera ). The book will be made in the end of the challenge and its purely optional to buy - you can participate in the challenge and NOT buy the book. Its open only to European photographers at the moment - worldwide poses a bit of a problem with customs, lets start with European Countries and see how it goes then open up to the world.
