Awkward Davies have you received it yet? I'm not quite worried yet, but I'm hoping you'll see it very soon if you aren't out shooting it already :ohdear:

I got it! I've actually been out of town for like a week, and it showed up like the day after I left. I don't think you ever posted/sent me the code to open the combo lock tho?

Edit: nvm I'm a dummy

I have access to free shipping through work! I'd love to participate after whoever is last in line. I have PM or zach.spradlin @gmail.com for address. I'm in Cincinnati and I'm cool with shipping it international.

I'd like to propose a dropoff date of Tues Sept 4th. Who is this going to next? Someone in the city right?

I need a hard date so I actually shoot this loving roll and don't hog this thing any longer.

Sorry for the delay everyone. I've been really really busy and haven't had time to finish this roll. I'm slowly working on it and I'm in touch with nonanone about the handoff. Hopefully it'll happen in the next week.

Sorry again for the delay.

Starting to hope it doesn't hit the Chicago area until around January now. We're about to enter the ugliest part of the year.. fall isn't very colorful here, and once the leaves are gone you got nothing but EVERYTHING IS DEAD until there's snow.

I'm sure it'll all be fine but please do let me know if someone's being a shitlord.

That actually sounds way more interesting to me than OOOOOH AUTUMN COLORS :circlefap:.

Also, is anyone keeping track of who's signed up for Photog(oon) 'round the World?

Not sure how I missed this thread until now. If the camera makes it back to Ontario, I'd be down to shoot a roll.

Maybe some people like it, not me. I grew up in the west where the hills are covered in evergreens, and the difference means late fall in the midwest feels pretty bland and depressing.

I like it just fine once the frosts start though.

I started this goonyness, I'll keep track of it. Basically, this thread serves as the big ol' list o' "I'm in". And I'll take SoundMonkey up on the custom titles offer should it become necessary. It's not necessary, as far as I can tell, yet. We had similar kinds of whoops-my-life-got-crazy-sorry-for-the-delays happen in the couple of print exchanges I've participated in. Judging from his avatar, my guess is Awkward Davies encountered some delays cleaning hipster blood off of the camera after he used it to bludgeon a few to death. Hopefully he got some pictures of the carnage.

I'm in the city city. I've always enjoyed the El during fall. Everything looks wistful. It's like living in a folk album that doesn't suck.

If the camera ever reaches Europe, I'd like to take it for a spin. (Seconding "how did I miss this thread until now".) I'll probably be in Stockholm, Sweden, when it gets here.

I'm 10 minutes from Manhattan and also can get to many places throughout New Jersey. (Did you know we had countryside here?) I'm up for this if you want to include me! I'm very close to NYC otherwise, my local address in NJ would work fine as well.

I'll do some cool things! I have a few rolls of 35mm that are still good that I can use up!

Is there a list of where it's been and where it needs to go? Or is it a surprise when it shows up in the mail?

39 perfect posts with each roll.

Well it's been sitting in new york for four weeks now and with no updates for a week and a half, so I'd say "surprise".

Travels of the camera to date:
Start: Saskatoon, Canada
1st destination: New York

Next in line is nonanone, also in New York.

It will be up to whoever is holding the camera to make the final decision on where to send it, but I'd like it to make a complete lap around the globe at least once, and not endlessly circle within one country or region.

Several people have chimed in with generous offers to send it long distances, so lobbing it across an ocean fairly often shouldn't be a problem. Having said that, AIIAZNSK8ER, in Virginia (right?) has expressed the most enthusiasm for it, so I'm hoping it can go that way, after NY.

edit: four weeks isn't up to my annoyance threshold, but I have been able to determine Awkward Davies is still active on the forums, so apparently he's not dead.

I think it'd be cool to have a tumblr or something for people who have had the camera to post their images to. Maybe send the account/password info along with the camera?

I'd be down with that. I'll put it out there: do we want a tumblr with an uninterrupted series of photos from this one camera, or do we want to keep the photos in this thread, where they will form islands of images surrounded by text-only posts?

The idea of critique in this thread, which was pivotal in the SAD vs. PAD mess from a few months ago, has only occurred to me now.

I invite your opinions on both issues.

\/\/\/ Good point. Showing off to friends is an enjoyable pasttime. Now we need a name for the tumblr (and several backup names in case the first choice is taken).

If it is heading to NJ I would love to contribute. I am in Hopewell Township and am about 30 minutes from Philly as well so have a few options in terms of a physical handoff. I promise I will not keep the camera for a long time as well - I have been shooting film more often lately on my own AE-1, so it would be cool to use someone else's.

koreagoon here. i dont have enough money lying around to spend on expensive international shipping, but i know some japangoons posted in here and my aunt goes to japan often for work, so if somebody could send the camera over just before the japangoons i could make it work :clint:

only in 2013 though :( i dont think i will have enough time before the year ends
