RE: "to break into groups"

Oh gosh, I hope no one sends out their pinhole Lieca. We will have to
talk about costs I'm sure but I don't see a giant disaster brewing. I
think we will be fine breaking into groups of 12 for a one year swap.
Each of us are dedicated pinhole photographers and will see the value
of keeping the cameras rolling along. With shipping each contestant
will get about 3 weeks of shooting time. We should be able to find a
couple of hours every few weeks to spend with a new camera. We will
have to talk about costs I'm sure but I don't see a giant disaster
brewing. Thanks for your suggestion but I think we will continue with
our plan.
