It's a photo swap...

ENTRY INTO THE PHOTO SWAP IS NOW CLOSED.

It all started when the lovely Susannah posted a link on her Twitter about disposable cameras and I started thinking how wonderful it would be to take photos to then send to someone else to develop - I love the anticipation of waiting for my own photos but waiting for someone elses with no clue about the photos would be beyond exciting!!

So here is my idea - everyone either takes a roll of film - or buys a disposable camera

it has to be something that you have to develop

and they take photos just for their swap partner, then send the cameras/films to each other and develop the other persons photos.
(and post them on their blogs for everyone to see of course)

and if that isn't exciting enough for you... here are some lovely ladies who have already volunteered to be involved!

{Click on the photo's for their blogs}

ENTRY INTO THE PHOTO SWAP IS NOW CLOSED

If you want to put the banner like the one at the top of this post on your blog then here is the HTML code to do so:

If however you fancy a smaller button for your sidebar like this then use this HTML coding:

I hope that you are all as excited about this as I am - I can not wait to see the variety of cameras that will be used and everyone's photos for their partners!!

If you think I have missed anything or just want to ask me a question then please email me on rhiannelouise@gmail.com

p.s. Thank you to everyone who have volunteered so far and Cassandra who helped me with making HTML coding visible on posts and in the sidebar!

Hello! I'm a twenty something designer and film photographer who lives in Yorkshire and currently works as a CAD technician. I also write for an online website and magazine, Gadchick. I'm originally from sunny Norfolk, but I settled up north with my boyfriend after Uni. I easily follow too many blogs but I love reading them as much as I love writing mine!
