I'm hosting the US version of this swap with permission from @twobluecrows Thank you for giving me permission to host this wonderful swap! You can find the international version here

-- Absolute minimum is 15 out of 30 photos from above. However, sending more than 15 is definitely encouraged. Also sending a note with a short description about the photos are definitely encouraged as well.

--Use whatever camera you have and are comfortable with, digital or film

--Print them in whatever way you are used to doing, either from your home printer or commercially, 4"x6" would be a nice size. Good quality photos are a must! If you print them on your home printer, be sure they are completely dry before stacking them. You can print them on glossy or matte photo paper or heavy cardstock, whatever your artistic needs demand.

--be creative--photoshop them if you are so inclined for better image, or not (this means 'digitally manipulate the images' using Photoshop or some other application)

--mail them to your partner. Be creative and thoughtful of your partner, you could e-mail them and ask if they'd like an album or mounting (for example, black acid free papers) or just in an envelope.

Everyone is welcome to the swap as long as you have a USA address (military overseas with US address is fine!) and no "1" rating in last 6 months. That's it! I will however ban as I see fit if I have doubts.

Because this is open to everyone in U.S. with no recent "1", I fully understand it might attract some flakers, hence why I will ban as I see fit. But in case you get flaked, I will personally angel or find one for you.

Happy swapping!

ETA: About rating: If your partner sends you 15 photos before send deadline, they have successfully met their requirement. Putting it in an album or mounting or including a note about the photos are NOT required but encouraged to make it a special package. Just because you send more than 15 does not mean you will get a heart. Hearts should be given based on the quality of the swap, not quantity.

Everyone should read the rules on swap-bot about giving hearts.

do these have to be new photos?? I have a reflection photo that I LOVE, but was taken about a month ago.

zerofantasies 06/20/2010 #

myahsmommy, new would be prefered but if its a photo you LOVE, then its fine. I just didn't want people sending 15 old photos =)

This is a cool swap...I wish I had a better camera but my dog got an attitude one day and peed on mine so it just hasn't been the same since I took it in and had it cleaned...lol...
