New Project

I would say that one of my goals is to travel to different places.  The furthest east I've ever traveled is Pocatello, Idaho.  I have been to Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Hawaii, Idaho and California (of course since I live there)....that's it - that's all the traveling I've done in my entire life.  One of my goals that I've had for a very long time is to travel to all of the states in the United States.  I don't know when I'll be able to afford that or have the time to do that so I'll just have to do my traveling through other people's experiences for now.

I have found a way that I can sort of travel to different places though.  I have been getting e-mails from a really neat website:  photojojo.com - it's a website that sends out a newsletter about 2 times a week that show different things that you can do with photography.  Its most recent newsletter talks about different things to do with disposable cameras.  I read through the different ideas and thought that some of them would be fun to do, but not anything too exciting until I stumbled upon the Disposable Memory Project.  I clicked on the link and I was immediately sold!

The project seems simple enough.  You contact them through their website:  http://disposablememoryproject.org/ and sign up to be a part of the project.  I bought the camera (actually 2) and made the sign and have it ready to go.  I haven't decided where I'm going to leave the camera yet, but I'm sure something will come to me.  I actually did have an idea that guaranteed the camera would leave Southern California - I thought that I should drive to the airport and just hand it to someone and tell them to take it with them.  This sounded like a really simple way to get the camera out there until I realized that I would be asking a perfect stranger to take a package from me onto an airplane.  I don't think I'll be doing that!

Check it out!  It sounds like a really fun thing and the pictures I have seen on their website are very interesting.

Here's what my camera bag looks like:
