View Full Version : 5th Annual Photography.ca Photo Swap

Time continues to fly by and it's time for the 5th Annual Photography.ca Photo Swap.

Here's how it works. Everyone and anyone who is interested will put their name in the virtual hat by saying "I want to swap!" in this thread. On November 18th I'll stir up all the names in the hat and pull out photo swappers. Each member who joins in will receive the name of another member to which they are to send a printed photograph (8x10 or 8x12). In previous years we chose a photograph that we felt was our best image of the year or a photograph that had a special meaning for us in some other way. I say we continue with that choice of theme but I'm always open for new ideas.

So, who's up for a photo swap??

I'll start out: "I want to swap!" Who will be the first to join me?

FAQ:

Q1: Is this open to international members?
A1: Absolutely, everyone is welcome to join in.

Q2: Do I post my address here?
A2: Nope! Only give your mailing address to the individual that is selected to send you a print.

I will know closer to the 18th if I can do it this year, just time is a bit of an issue so I will confirm one way or the other before then. Just hope I can.

Iguanasan, if there is any way, you should make a post in the images forums to drum up interest...it seems that people aren't making it all the way down to the general forums.....

Just a thought!

I will do that. I always simply click "New Posts" and see new items in every forum. I guess I always assumed everyone else read the site that way too.

From what I've seen, I think all of your pictures are worthy. I'd kill to have your selection of photos to choose from.
p.s. I'd love to have one of those windows photos.

Ok, people here we go!!!

18434

Find your name in the recipient column and PM the person in the Sender column (next to you) with your mailing address.

When you get the mailing address of your recipient, package up a print (8x10 or 8x12) and drop it in the mail.

Then sit back and wait for your print to arrive!

You've got to be careful what you wish for.... you might not be so quick to comment next year huh?

Hahaha! That's awesome. This list was generated randomly so the fact that it ended up that way must be kismet! :)

That is hilarious. I almost fell off my chair laughing when I saw whose picture I get. I stand by my comment and will be very happy to receive a Runmonty original.

It came in the mail today! I was shocked and surprised to get it this soon! It is beautiful! I visited there when I was 12 or so, and I feel like I knew this place...

THANK YOU!

Tiger, the print is beautiful! quality is nice. I can almost feel the humidity in the air!

Randitola, I am so undecided on which print to send you! I look through my catalog of images, and I think each one would be perfect, but then I see another one, and get excited for that one! I will be making a final decision soon, and then I will get it in the mail to you!

I have a feeling Dianesart has not been around since October. Maybe Iggy could insert Anuj into her spot if I am correct?
Jason
12-06-2013, 02:29 PM
JAS, I tracked Dianesart down and sent a link to the thread a couple of days ago.

Well last night I my photo from Jas arrived and just love it. It is a very cool and unique print and looking forward to seeing it hung along with my other art. Can't say enough of what a interesting photo it is. Iggy, I am a bit late with yours, I just have a few more shots left on the roll of film so I will be developing ,scanning and then printing the negative sometime this week and you will get it before the holidays.

Sorry, Anuj. I think you missed this year around but hang around until next year and I promise you can join in. I don't like to leave anyone out but the die has been cast for this year. If anyone who signed up fails to make an appearance you'll be the first to be called.

Dianesart has not logged on since October. I think that counts as a no show.
Iguanasan
12-10-2013, 11:03 PM
Ok, JAS. Let's give her two more days since Jason sent her a message a couple of days ago. If we don't hear from her by the end of day on Thursday we can swap her out and Anuj in. Countdown begins!

thank you!!!
Iguanasan
12-11-2013, 10:20 PM
Hey, Anuj.

There's no hard and fast rules but we try to send something that the receiver can frame and hang so an 8x10 or 8x12. Your choice for paper and such.

My pleasure. Hope you don't have too hard a time mounting it somehow, being an unusual crop size. That's why I included in the standard 8x10 pic of the little green tree frog.
P.S. Glad you realized it was of the Toronto skyline, as I forgot to mention where it was.

Google is your friend, especially if you pick your keywords right. As for mounting it, I can do the foam core myself, then see (worst case) what Michael's would charge for a basic custom size frame. Or hit up the thrift stores, and buy some really tacky art/drawing panorama for the frame (it's a great way to get frames and mats for really cheap).
