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:
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:
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?


How cool. You have nifty little trade network going on.
It’s super T. -m
