In which two packages arrive.

I’ve taken to doing Flickr swaps lately.

What this means is that I send stuff to people I don’t know in real life, and they send me stuff back. In the mail. On purpose.

It’s awesome.

A week or so ago I sent one of my three Argus C3 cameras, a 100mm telephoto lens, and two rolls of film to Florida. Yesterday I got this:

Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera Model 3

Two Argus lenses… and a Polaroid SX-70 Land camera! With a bright yellow skin! W00t!

And last week Left Coast Girlie and I sent a couple of baby loaves of Tillamook cheese, some smoked cheese, candy, and a couple boxes of crackers to Tokyo. And in response, we got this:

Swap from Skamegu!

Another explosion of Japanese bento goodness! I got a tamagoyaki pan!

Moral being that, in spite of having to pay for postage, swapping is hella fun. Because who doesn’t love getting presents in the mail?
