EDIT: changed the photo quantity to 10 photos [rather then 20], so hopefully postage won't be as expensive. Also added an additional 3 days to swap start and send date due to the "last minute changes". Comments are welcome! :)


Open to anyone of rating 4.8 and up (I understand sometimes 3 rating and such can occur through little fault of your own, as long as you haven't made a habit of it). Please be a good swapper! :)


Okay so recently I got into a bit of amateur photography with a new digital camera I bought, and - being a big lover of nature - got snap-happy rather quickly. I'm pretty happy with most of my results, and thought it would be great to see photos that others of you had taken from the nature around where you live.

SO here's the plan~

  • Each person is assigned 1 partner.

  • For that partner you will either buy, or make (preferably make if possible, because there's nothing more natural then handmade! ;) a little book of about A5 size (that's.. roughly 14.5cm x 21cm) filled with 5 pages.

  • Pick 10 of your favorite nature photos, that you yourself have taken, and stick one on each page (obviously back and front seeing as there will be 5 pages).

  • 'Nature' can include things like flowers and trees, wild animals (no domesticated animals though please, unless it's a wild animal that's particularly friendly with you), seasons, times of day, etcetc.

  • Please write what the photo is of - and any other details you may want to add to personalize the description - under the photo.

  • Decorate the booklet however you see fit! Feel free to write any extra info or thoughts on additional pages, if you want to! :)

NOTE: it doesn't matter if you live in the city, right? even there you can find nature in unexpected places - it would probably make the book more interesting. Be creative! ;)

Have fun with it, and if you have any questions ~ please ask in comments or send me a message. <3

Love this idea, but personally I'm worried about the postage for 20 photos, the weight of the presentation and possibly sending internationally. The combination could get expensive. I'll keep watching for a few more days......just a thought.

well, it doesn't need to be a chunky journal - it can be very simple with little embellishment. Hmm.. but you may be right ~ I'll change it to 10 photos then. Hopefully this will help!

Thank you for the change! I'm in!
