I've bought a disposable camera and I intend to have this camera sent around the world to different members of BYOND to take one picture each and then have it sent on to another. Once it's out of film, I'll get it digitalized and upload the pics on here.

So I have some idea of what's going on I'd like anyone interested in this to both reply on this thread for discussion and to privately email me their home address / name / BYOND key at b.d.maslen@googlemail.com - this means the only person who knows your address is the person before you and, well, me.

I'm only doing one so there'll be about 20 people that can participate, I intend to send it straight to Zaltron after I take a picture tomorrow somewhere in Blackpool.

You can really take a picture of anything, Just be reasonable...

I'll keep my blog updated as it moves around. All you have to do is take a picture and I'll tell you where to send it next (and probably about a dollar/euro/etc postage) and for that I'll email you

Just a thought: maybe just have people send in thier own pictures.

Haha it's much more entertaining to get a digital camera in the mail, take a picture of yourself, and then send it over to the next guy.

Sounds like a lot of fun if you ask me.

Who wants to start placing bets a Stalker/Murderer pops up on our door steps?

Actually, my money is on something else "popping up". You know what I mean.

By googlemail.com do you really mean gmail.com? I've never seen someone with the googlemail.com address.

there was issues with having gmail in the uk, so we get googlemail accounts =)

if you'd rather not use that, orta.therox@gmail.com is where all my email is aggregated to.

No, the first was fine, but I was making sure you weren't just trying to spoof your email from spammers.

This sounds really cool. I think I have an idea of what I'm going to take.

What exactly is going to stop someone from stealing and selling the digital camera? They are a lot of money you know.

It's a disposable, it'll be worth about 5 pounds, even then, I have names and addresses of everyone who gets it.

If I can find a 20-30 quid digital camera I'd be happy to take that risk.

You are talking about a digital camera here. Those are like $400.

Probably about 50 US Dollars. There's a lot of low-end, it'll-do kind of cameras around. You can even buy them on markets anywhere. The only expensive thing would be having a large enough SD card to store it all on.

Ah, I see. Still though, you should be careful. =/

$400? You can get digital cameras for $70-100 AUD.

Can international members participate? I'll be in Germany.
