I have taken a good look at this site. Great photos BUT we need to figure
out in advance how to deal with the problems that seem to arise all the time.
People who either change their mind about the trip and won't accept that
they should bow out and send the camera on its way (keeping the camera to
themselves), people who take too long to make their shot(s), and the camera
going missing between participants. And the copyright issue - I see there are
several blank frames seemingly where people have insisted "their" shots be
pulled from the website - this needs to be sorted beforehand.
Maybe a smaller camera that has less intrinsic worth than the OM1 - for
example a Mju 1, or Stylus Epic; and maybe more than one to get the
project over and done within a year.
My 2 cents
