    Re: Camera around the world

    Here is a quick update. I ordered a Canon A430 tonight so that's the camera that we will be using. Photo-John highly recomended the camera. It takes AA batteries and I also ordered an SD card.
    I thought very hard on what doll to send in the package and finally settled on the Rufus doll, I felt it related more to PR than anything else I have seen. With that being said I hope I don't make anyone mad for choosing Rufus. I also bought a small gift to place in the box for the next recipient of the camera. I have a member here in Rome that wants in on this so we will combine our efforts for pictures here.
    All that is left is for members to sign up and get a route planned. Gary Heller has offered to Map out a route and track the camera. I will give more details on that after Gary returns my PM.
    The other things are how many pictures should be posted by each member and how long should you keep the camera. I thought about five pictures. But would like some feedback on that. I feel that more than five will be to much once everyone starts posting? I also think that you should keep the camera thru one weekend or off day. I don't want to rush anyone into taking bad pictures because they felt they had to hurry. After all I personally don't care how long it takes for the camera to return. Just as long as everyone gets a turn and has fun, just don't take the camera on a two week cruise to Alaska.LOL
    This was just an update to let everyone know that everything is in the works and I hope to soon be mailing the camera. I hope that I don't make anyone mad with any decision that I make. I want this to be simple and fun and the camera to visit as many PR members as possible. I also feel that the rules as such can be modified as we go.
