Just give the camera to Olive, you'll have all you want in about 6 1/2 weeks
G-spot Gerry lives in Edmonton and is planning on SumSum so he'd get some distance on the thing. Good idea, hope it works out

I don't know if everyone will have a chance to post their own pics. For instance, I won't be able to post my pics up to SF. Is there someway to tag the fotos after they are posted without replying to the thread? Maybe open the Chain Camera as a it's own person with public password? Then everyone could edit in their tags their pics. Moderators may not like it (please weigh in here), but as long as we are mostly mature I'd think it would be okay.

PhotoOp, we could ride (at least part of it) together. Hang out for as long as you can, then leave when you need to. My brother will probably come on his Duc, but we won't hold that against him!

I think having its own account might work well. And you could always bring your computer and post the pictures from a Starbucks or something.

I like the Idea it could be fun.
Here is a thought instead of sending a camera out you could do the same thing in a Photo tag style thread. You take a road trip and post pictures and at the end or where ever you choose, you post the last one as a "Tag point' then the next person has to start there photo log from there and only one person can claim the Tag. Or you have to meet the person who is doing the posting now so to speak to get a hand off (I personally.like this better than just a tag spot because you get to meet more people). At least this way you wouldn't have to spend money on a camera(but would be cool to have a world traveling camera). One Photo account that is shared would work best. Any way I really like the Idea and am ready to play anyway you want, and hope I can join in somewhere along the LOOOOOONG line.

The phototag idea would also work. I think more people may be inclined to meet if they have something tangible to pass. Please let me know what you think everybody, this is a group effort that will work out better with more support. I have a 5MP camera that runs off of AA that I received 4 years ago still in the box, so the camera itself is no big sacrifice. I like the idea of the FLAF. . .

OK, not to blatantly rip off the idea from the Redditors brought to us by TC, but what if we started with a stuffed animal that was passed between members, and pics had to include the animal in the pic. Everyone uses their own camera, and posts their own pics. This would make "tagging" the pics easier.

I'm still working this out. I appreciate everybodys input. I'm also very excited about your enthusiasm.

I too like the idea of something tangible to pass on. Makes it more difficult to cheat as well. Haha. If we wanted to skip the camera idea the stuffed animal thing would be cool and have pictures with it. I vote for a stuffed Dora the Explorer. Because she likes exploring? Haha I don't know

[mk2davis]

I was wondering were you were going to go with Dora. I like that, I was also thinking about Animal or Frankenstein (because even though I don't admit it, a part of me is jealous of the good looking Frankenviffers out there).

[ninjadoc]

The stuffed animal would be an awesome idea, every one can be creative and take pictures with it around the world, it can be passed along pretty cheap and no worries about break down or anything, plus It gives the idea a "character and individuality" which gets passed from one person to another and thus take part in the trip

That's one vote for Dora!

I may start off going south to San Diego in May. Anyone down there interested in receiving Dora?

[MaxSwell]

Dora may become the best travelled member of this d group. What a legacy to pass on. SO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON HER. Perhaps she should be signed by the photogs. In very small print. Don't want to fill her up too soon. This is gonna be great!
