RE: camera swap

Great thoughts Jim. I was thinking this morning that each camera owner deserves one image from each user of her
or his camera. I think that this and the format issue and frequency of rotation will be the prime issues we
need to work out with this swap. I like the web page Guy Glorieux made for his Flying Pinhole Camera and I
guess this is where some of the idea for this swap has come from. Look at Jean Daubas's "My experience with the
Flying Pinhole" story. I think ideas like this could make a great and informative web page for others to enjoy.
I also believe in open discussions I just hate seeing people asking to be removed from the list. Your right, if
we check our subject line and make sure "camera swap" is there then those who don't want to read about our
exploits can delete us.

Please keep sending your thoughts I'm sure this will be a great project.
