The important question is...what stock is getting loaded
Actually I've been thinking about that. As it is a P&S - ISO 400 to maximize "success".
And usually these type of cameras are used with color neg film. That would allow for the greatest variation in images.
But, we could go with HP5 cuz we all artsy types here and rubes are impressed by B&W film shots.
Also... I was thinking about what to do with this. And was thinking that if it all works out perhaps print them and donate proceeds to a charity?
But first things first. HP5 or Superia 400? AND THOSE ARE THE ONLY CHOICES! I don't want to hear 'wut about tri-x?' or 'I can only work with Portra'...

I'm in
Seems like mail used to run really fast to here from California, but the northeast took a while. Also insured didn't get thrown as much it seemed. Could try to take advantage of stuff like that or do we just ship the sucker?

The camera will ship in an appropriately padded box so being tossed around shouldn't matter.. I kinda don't want people to have to deal w insurance etc to keep the costs down. It's a P&S not a Leica so if something unfortunate happens, c'est la vie.
Let's just have fun with this!

Okay, we still need nine more people but the project has officially kicked off.
Some changes... instead of the crappy Pentax I was going to use, we will be using the awesome Fuji Work Record. Super 28mm lens, huge viewfinder, and just two buttons! Small red Power to turn it on and off. Big honkin shutter button.
The cool thing is this camera winds the film all the way out so the starting point is 36 exp, and will count down from there until we are done.
I have taped "REMEMBER TO TURN OFF!!" onto the back of the camera because this camera does NOT turn off by itself. If you leave it on, the batteries will eventually die.

I am going to gather all the names/addresses, then share what is needed - so for the recipient and who he needs to ship to.
Then that person, and who he needs to ship to etc.
So everyone will know who/where they are sending the camera to. But they do not need to have anyone else's name/address.
