fail

As it turns out, postal workers don't actually care for photo taking. I've received news of three (out of the seven that I sent) full rolls of film being delivered to three addressees. I blame David Horvitz completely.  

Since my spirits have been deflated by this disappointing news I'm leaving it up to you (Megan, Julie, Grace, Danielle, Rachel, Nathan and Nik) to do something good with those cameras. Let me know what you come up with.

does David Horvitz even try out his own ideas? I blame him too.

Megan said...

I think postal workers might be iffy about opening mail, even when it's addressing them.

Either way my very nice postman left me a note with the camera package today saying that there were a lot of pictures left but that he finished the roll! Will develop tonight!

Caroline said...

Hooray for Megan's postman! The three failure reports all came from people living in Utah, so maybe it's just the postal workers between me and Utah that are the duds.

Lame. Would a little astral projection cheer you up? I say we meet tonight at Hanauma Bay and hope it's not crowded when we get there. I figure the middle of the night on a weeknight... the odds are pretty good.

I may be a little late as I have farther to travel, although with the time difference and all I guess that gives me a head start, is that how it works? ;)

Ah...I was wondering if that was going to work. I'm going to try it with a few cameras too. It's perfect us being in Hawaii...they have much farther to travel.

Jon has a lot of your pictures done, I'm going to put them up online so you can look at them. I'll email you later.

Caroline said...

Missa: Yes, yes! I'll be there tonight.

Shana: Hooray! Can't wait to see them.

Going to bed now, see ya soon!

I plan to leave the camera in a well placed corner of the store, with a note that asks people not to steal and to please take a few pictures and return. I just hope I don't get too many nudey pictures.

Caroline said...

That's such a good idea. You must show me the results! Also, are there a lot of people getting naked in Barnes & Noble?

Grace said...

You would be amazed, oh the things that go on in the bathroom with a stall and an Penthouse Reader. It's shocking!

Julie said...

I had thought to do the same thing as Grace, but I too was worried about nudey pics. Why do we assume that would be peoples first reaction to an anonymous camera?....

Grace said...

I'll tell you why. I placed my camera in store, and within the hour I found a group of 3 giggling teenage boys holding and 3 pictures gone. I'm now nervous to develop the film and see what these boys have done.

Caroline said...

You need to send Garrett to get the film developed when you have it done. That way if there are any male body parts on the roll, the folks doing the developing can give him the strange looks and not you.

Also, you should fill the rest of the film with very tame photos of children and bunnies and rainbows. Then the contrast would be even more strange.

I love this idea

Bill said...

You should send a camera to you uncle Johnny. He's a postman.

Caroline said...

Yay dad! You learned how to leave comments!

Bill said...

Wrong, John posted the first post, because dad told him to. Now I'm (nik) posting this one for him because I'm siting here.
