Description:

I've seen such swaps here before, but since there's none hosted right now, here's my try.

If you have a Polaroid camera and still use it, let's swap our photos! ;)

Your obligations:

  • to send 1 Polaroid photo to 1 partner;

  • to send that photo naked (that is, like a postcard - with a stamp (yes, a real stamp, not a mail label), a priority sticker (if needed) and an address of the recipient written down somewhere postmen could easily find);

  • to make sure you send something you would like to get yourself! :)

Since Polaroids are pricey (and usually worthy in a non-materialistic sense as well), the requirements for joining are pretty strict, too: your overall rating 5.00, no less than 30 completed Type 2 + Type 3 swaps behind your belt.

I'm mostly crazy about Polaroids, but if you have any other instant camera and still want to participate, let me know. No mini photos allowed, though - we wouldn't want them to get lost, would we?

*Photos taken with Holgaroid (a mix of Holga and Polaroid cameras, apparently) are allowed here, too.

Note: the picture above borrowed from flickr.

P.S. Polaroid camera + Impossible Film = still a Polaroid photo. ;)

Excited for this swap! ...but these photos do often get lost in the mail, so definitely let your partner know if nothing arrives.

I guess this went pretty well after all ... 'cause all Polaroids reached their destinations!! Thank you guys for swapping! Γ’β„’Β₯
