EST US college student for camera swap

Not sure if this sub is still activate but in the low chance it is then hopefully i can garner a bit of interest through this post.

I am a 20 year old college student in the eastern coast of the U.S., that is interested in the concept of this subreddit, the sharing of experiences and perspective through disposable cameras. I am hoping there is anyone out there who is interested in doing this sort of thing, even if you don't have a disposable camera we could always use our phones and exchange the pictures on a monthly basis.

Although i don't live in the city, so my pictures might not be as interesting, i do a lot of outdoor adventures and i could always go out of my way to capture interesting moments, if some one is interested in doing a "camera" exchange, let it be through disposable cameras or pictures taken from our phones.

Anyways, if anyone is interested in this sort of thing PM me and let me know so we can talk some details.

​

Cheers~

24/F/Finland looking people to swap disposable cameras with!

Hey! Like the title says I would like to swap disposable cameras. I think this is a very cool idea and definitely something I would like to try out. This subreddit is quite dead, so if you happen to read this post months later feel free to send me a PM or comment about swapping cameras.

Anyone still around for this?

Hi,

Based in NZ and keen for camera swapping with anyone and everyone from abroad! I usually shoot with a DSLR so using a point and click disposable is entirely new to me!

Male, mid twenties, happy to chat and look forward to exchanging cameras with you!

Camera with pictures from Iran for a responsible swapper

Hi,

Have a camera here from a holiday last year.

The last two cameras that I sent in this sub were received, but the people never posted pictures or send anything back to me.

Hoping this time this changes.

Thanks!

28/f/Canada interested in a disposable camera swap!

I really love the idea of swapping photos with a stranger and getting a small peak into their daily life.

I live in Canada, my photos to you would be mostly of my day to day life, photos from around the city I live, and things that made me smile. Anyone interested in swapping? :)

16/m/ Hey, I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina and I'm very curious about doing an exchange

Hey I'm a 16 yo from Argentina, I'm in high school and love photography as a hobby.

I'm very interested in doing a swapping of any kind.

I have a lot of analogic cameras my grandmother gave to me and would gladly exchange one, probably the nikon n70.

Also I have a 36 exp. Kodak colour 200 roll of street photos that I would gladly swap.

And I'm finishing to shoot an Ilford FP4 plus that I'm going to develop by myself.

Thank you! Any interested pm freely

16/M/Singapore film swap request!

Hi! I'm a 16-year-old male Singaporean student who just finished a roll of 35mm Kentmere 400 pushed to 3200. Not many places in my country push film this far and I don't develop any film myself so I just decided to send it overseas to someone who has access to a lab that would push film this far or develops film themselves. I'm looking for international swap pals so I can see what other cities look like. My roll contains street photos of Singapore so don't worry about it. If you're interested, please PM me.

20/M/Tokyo

Some people PM'd me, but never followed up. I'd also do email swap since shipping to and from Tokyo is kind of a pain. Let me know if you're interested!

35/m/aus

Gday legends. I am a 35 male from Sydney Australia and would love to do an SD card swap with as many people as possible throughout the world. I love photos and find this idea fascinating. I promise the whole card won’t be filled up with me just taking selfies. Okay there might be one or two. Anyway I have never done this before but I am totally up for in. Send me a PM if you’d like to know more or want to get this started.

26/F/Alabama SD Card or disposable camera

Hey, I'd like to swap either an SD card or a disposable camera. I'm willing to swap with anyone as long as it's not just photos from around your house. After Christmas, I'll be going on a trip to Gulf Shores (the beach). My photos to you would mostly be daily life/holidays, my dog, and my vacation. If you want a picture of something from my area or heading down the center of AL to the coastline, I could make a stop(within reason). Feel free to PM me, I'm on reddit quite a bit

20, M, Japan!

I'm a foreign exchange student in Japan, and I'd love to do this, but I think it would be cool to start together and take a photo everyday and kind of update each other so we actually go through with it!

PM me this sounds super cool!

23/F/Canada (BC & Montreal) - Plain old disposable camera/film swap!

I'm living in Montreal, headed home to BC for the holidays, and would love to do a camera swap with someone! I'm thinking we'd swap around the new year (cause I'd love to include a few fun holiday pictures from my trip home), so if that sounds good to you, let me know! I bring both dog and cat pictures to the table, as well as pictures of very meticulously (and if I'm being honest, just plain bitchin') wrapped gifts, if that's your thing.

P.S. LGBTQ+ Friendly please, as I am gay as fuck and generally just happier interacting with people who are chill with it.

Anybody up for a Polaroid swap?

Only has to be between 10-20 photos. I don't want to know if you are female, male or whatever, I don't want to know your age or anything about you.
I recently finished a course in photography and have become fascinated by how much 1 single photo can tell you a whole lot about somebody's life. What's that saying "a photo can speak a thousand words"? Or something like that.
I write a blog and would love to write about this experience (I don't have to share your photos if you are uncomfortable with it) Just take photos of the things you find interesting and love. Could be yourself, the ocean, your dog, your glass of milk or whatever you'd like. If you want to add a little note as well that would be awesome.
Send me a message if you are interested! Thank you!

Against my better judgement, here I am.

Last time I did this, spent damn near $20 to develop a roll, and got shitty pictures of ashtrays, beer cans, broken lawn chairs and a motorcycle helmet.

I'm in Wisconsin, so if you want pictures of pretty, tree lined streets covered in snow and views of Christmas lights also covered in snow, let's exchange.

But....please send me pictures of your city/country and not an ashtray half full of cigarettes. :(
