I am probably a bad choice to send the camera to, I'm out of a job at the moment and wouldn't be able to even get film, let alone ship the camera anywhere, so count me out if people want this to get moving faster.

Where is your 24-70?
I guess I'll have to start shooting with my own AE-1. Around here, I was going to get some of the Beach Touristy areas in the dead of winter, like I did last year. I'd be OK with it leaving the USA now, but really I want to see more results of the people it's already gone to.

Having said that, getting it moving again is the priority. Either Virginia, the Midwest, Texas, or the Pacific Northwest, then across an ocean. Mannequin bowed out for this lap around the planet, so it's definately moving away from the New England area.

Virginians, Midwesterners, Texans, PWCers: convince us it should go to your region. You have until ShotgunWillie burns halfway through his roll to do so, or I will choose haphazardously and capriciously (and possibly ironically - don't make me get all hipster on your asses!).

I agree entirely. I'm sure Mannequin would do good by this camera, but send it wherever you see fit.

I've got a bunch of expired Arista b+w hanging around, and I can maybe leave a roll in the camera when I send it on, so whoever gets it next can double expose it.

I'm hoping it can come back around at some point, perhaps at the end. I would not like the NJ goons to get screwed over entirely.

I agree that it needs to move out of New York and the East Coast. Considering how much time it has spent there and how it needs to move on with talk of skipping the West Coast, I've pretty much lost all interest in participating in this project. So I'm officially pulling out of Camera 'round the World.

If you ship it to the Pacific Northwest next, I'll run a roll of film through it within a week and either mail it to another PNW goon or, assuming we can properly coordinate the exchange, I'll hand it off to Miso Beno personally - he and I live about an hour apart and aught to be able to work out something. If I don't either ship or give it to someone after one week, well . . . :toxx:

Edit - alternately, send it to Pseudonordic, as leaves are pretty.

If I may suggest a course of action, one party might perhaps PM the other, so as to exchange some personal information enabling off-forums contact to facilitate the handing off of the camera from one person to the other.

Alternatively, "work it out".

I am down to do this, please add me to the list (if there is one?). I am in Orlando, FL but I am always down south and will probably end up taking it to Miami and taking pictures of Little Haiti or something. I have an AE-1P so it will get a fresh battery from my stockpile too. I work for FedEx and get a 75% discount so the next person's shipping will be either super cheap or super fast for the price of slow shipping.

OR
Pan-F Plus 50, 36 exposures


Also, taking picture requests. I make no claims to being a competent photographer, just a sassy one.

More is better. Pan-F 50 / 36 is my vote.
Take pictures of a typical day-in-the-life (if that means 35 frames of "dog" and 1 frame of "dogshit", so be it!)

I can't remember if the ISO dial on the camera can be set to 50 or not.
