Most avid travelers are inseparable from their cameras, always on the lookout for different ways to capture the essence of a place. For a while, tilt-shift photography provided a unique perspective, "miniaturizing" everything from Red Square to the Statue of Liberty in countless vacation photos, but an old technique has recently been revived by a few talented photographers who turn off their flashes and use a slow shutter speed to convey the light, depth, and motion of night scenes. ]]>
Losing a memory card at the end of the trip can be tragic. But what if you plan to leave it behind on purpose? The Photochaining project encourages photographers to willingly leave behind cheap cards for others to find and add to. It's like Where's George, but for pictures!
Currently there are 16 memory cards out there, some with people names (Ben, Lola) and others with themes (Gimme, Love, Landscape). Most of them have only been found once in places from Madrid (where a card with the above photo was from) to San Francisco. As much as we like to hang onto our cards, this could work as long as people remember to let their findings go. Yours could be next!
