All these statements pretty much correlate with
my thoughts. Instead of having a tedious process
of sending a body and probably lens, shooting photos
that could be made with each participant's own stuff
as well and by no means to tell apart (except we
incorporate a 'strange, modified' data back), we
should have some 'thread' or common motif or the
like.

I am not either. I think list members are creative
enough not to repeat, even if some item is to be
included. And then: the included-item-shot is one
shot of several, and not the only one.
To be fully open may inherit the 'danger' of getting
beautiful shots with no connection to each except
being made by the ONE body (not to be seen in the
shots though) and by list members. Sorta TOPE with
no theme (is that OPE??).
To have a theme, or a common motif, bands the list
together, but not to use the same physical OM body.
