Welcome to "CliCk_ArouNd_tHe_WorlD"
The idea is simple and is this:
We send a disposable camera on a photographic journey around the world. At each of it's stops the receiver takes just one picture, something outstanding in his or her area and sends it on to the next MobLogger.
When it's full it comes back to us, we get it developed, scan the images and post them on the CliCk_ArouNd_tHe_WorlD site.
See, simple!
If you're interested in taking part we'll, of course, need your postal address. This information will be stored securely and, only but only used for the purposes of the CliCk_ArouNd_tHe_WorlD project. After it has been used, once, it will be deleted, permanently.
We don't do "Simple", so here's the rest:
There are 27 exposures in each of our cameras and, we think, it's journey will take about a year to complete. Pretty boring for all of us waiting at home for the pictures to be posted.
So! Each recipient is asked to blog themselves along the camera's route. Digitally record your experiences with "the package" and post them on the CliCk_ArouNd_tHe_WorlD site. That way we can all keep up with the camera's progress, week by week.
We want you to make an image that the rest of the world will say "WoW" to. Like Eminem said; "you only get one shot, one opportunity", so make it count!
After all the fun's been had and all the images are safely back home and posted on the CliCk_ArouNd_tHe_WorlD site we intend to publish the whole thing in a full colour book. Each single image, with the accompanying "blogged" pictures, a short description of the piece by the MobLogger responsible and a short biog. The book will be available for sale online as soon as humanly possible (after the last images are back with us of course).
All proceeds from sales of the CliCk_ArouNd_tHe_WorlD book will go to the "Lime suckers" project which will assist Heather in her medical costs as she fights Hodgkin's lymphoma.
So come on MobLoggers, join in the fun and let's see how far we can take this thing!

Biggest Chair I've ever seen
who has lived in said city his whole life, it can be really hard to
think in terms of "What might a visitor be interested to see?". This
chair is one of the things. This city was, at one time pre-WWII, one
of the leading manufacturing cities for chairs in the US, with 20 or so
factories. Some of the companies had worldwide reputations for their
quality and artistry. We are the city that kicked off, in 1905 with a
12 foot Mission style chair, the race to make the World's Biggest
Chair, a race that, as world record races do, is still going on today.
As most of the old furniture companies aren't here anymore, Gardner is
pretty much out of that race, but this Heywood-Wakefield chair was it's
last effort. It's twenty feet, seven inches tall, ten feet wide, nine
feet deep and for a year (1976), it was the world's biggest. It's
quite common to see people climbing it for pics, but I'm a wee bit too
afraid of heights for that. ;D

Oh, and the cam left for it's next destination Friday, via UPS, so it should get there Monday.

Well done Silar, good job.
(I still recon you should climb up there and sit in that chair though)
silar31 says:
Yes, fancy climbing equipment and/or decent upper body strength, neither of which I possess. No chair climbing adventures for me!

I'm not that far away and I had no idea it was chair city! Nice :-)
