My office is in the front room of a run-down 12 megapixel sensor but the rent suits me and the landlord doesn't ask many questions.

Deader's is alive, and the camera will be up and moving again soon, with WTF will take it and it can go from there I think.

Any takers for the AE-1? Deaders is keen to ship it out of oblivion (ie Perth).

I vote it goes to WTF.

Also, dicks-on-pics is fully in keeping with the spirit of this thread.

\/\/\/ The "Plan", such as it is, is to keep that AE-1 going round and round and round forever, or until it's no longer fun.

I would also like to participate in this, if the camera comes stateside anytime soon. This sounds like a fun, cool project and I would love to be a part of it.

I get back to Land early Jan. Deaders was going to send it to me a while ago but obviously being dead interrupted that plan. If deaders can send it to me before january i will get it and hang onto it until mid april and shunt it on to whoever wants it next. I live in Tassie.

elgarbo aren't u in Melb? I can send it up to u when I've finished with it around April and I guess you could send it up to saucy bratwurst or w/e after you're done with it?

Alternatively I'll be home in 3 weeks to collect it as I said so unless u wanna play with it first until I get back... I'm easy.

I'm in Sydney but a trip up the Hume Hwy won't do the camera much harm.

I'm in no rush, after April probably suits me well anyway.

Don't feel in a rush to get it to me either, I got uni until Junish and then I'm 21 on June 29 and then semester 2 after that.

I should clarify, I meant that june is the best month, before then i have exams, after then I have my 21st and then the start of semester 2. Semester 2 will be ok, Im not going to keep for long enough that coursework gets in the way.

If I read it right, the camera wont move until April, and then however long before it gets to me. Im ok with not getting it until the end of may, which is 2 months.

I mean, deaders has had the camera for over a year already, so I guess 2-3 users in 6 months would be a massive improvement.

e. seriously is Australia so boring that it takes more than a week or two to shoot a roll of film? :colbert:

You've gotta get out Aus so you can come back see how good it actually is.

Seattle was the birth of a superhero. New York was a lump of irony regarding a "New York Minute". Finland, Finland, Finland also happened.

It's a ~GoOn PrOjEcT~, this kind of thing is thoroughly expected. Penal colonies or not.

Last year I sent my Auspol secret santa via Canada post.

It got as far as Australia, obviously got lost in a box somewhere, came back completely crushed with a bunch of Australia post stickers on it, listed "undeliverable" (I had the right address) in June of the next year.

They're incredibly hit and miss, I'll for for months with everything being sent on time, then I'll get them attempting to deliver a photobook I ordered from Brooklyn once, not leave a card, then immediately send it all the way back, or something just as dumb. I know a few posties, they're an odd bunch.
