Description:

I will give a list of 15 quotes and you will take a digital picture that is inspired by that quote.

For example if the quote was:

All sorrows are less with bread. ~ Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixotee

You might take a picture of bread or a sandwich or maybe something totally different. Whatever the quote inspires you to think of.

You will email your partners the pictures that correspond with the quotes. Please name your picture files with the numbers corresponding with the numbered quote. If you have a Flickr account you may post your pictures there instead.

Now for the limitations: Ratings must be 4.7 or higher. No one with recent no sends in their profile. No more than 3 unexplained no sends total. I will check all profiles and ban anyone who does not meet these requirements.

This is an international swap.

Here are the quotes:

  1. Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace." -- Milan Kundera

  2. Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing. --Camille Pissarro

  3. Just living is not enough... One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower. --Hans Christian Anderson

  4. The most effective form of birth control I know is spending the day with my kids. --Jill Bensley

  5. I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars. --Og Mandino

  6. I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be what it may, — light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful. --John Constable

  7. You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me. --C.S. Lewis

  8. Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing worth knowing can be taught. --Oscar Wilde

  9. We are never more fully alive, more completely ourselves, or more deeply engrossed in anything than when we are playing. --Charles Schaefer

  10. Inside every older person is a younger person - wondering what the hell happened. --Cora Harvey Armstrong

  11. Celebrate we will 'cause life is short but sweet for certain --Dave Matthews

  12. The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious. And why shouldn't it be? - it is the same the angels breathe. --Mark Twain

  13. A friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself. --Jim Morrison

  14. I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity. --Gilda Radner

  15. A budget tells us what we can't afford, but it doesn't keep us from buying it. --William Feather

Ok there they are. If you have any questions please email me and I'll do my best to answer them. Have fun!!!

I got the idea from a flickr group. They get a quote everyday and have to take a picture to go with it. It's called 365 club or something like that. It was too late in the year for me to join the group so I thought I'd do a mini version. Thanks for joining. Ü

Am really looking forward to this one! Just to be sure I have it right: we send each partner 15 pics total (a picture for each quote - not just select quotes)?

I love #12.

lvpoohbr2 07/ 9/2007 #

IndyGuapo-

That's correct. You will send each of your 3 partners all 15 pictures that correspond with the 15 quotes. Ü

This one sounds so much fun =) Do I have to take the pictures now, or can I also use pictures that I took a while ago?

lvpoohbr2 08/ 1/2007 #

You can use any pictures that you have personally taken that you feel apply to the quote. I have taken mostly new pictures but have used maybe 1 or 2 previously taken pictures. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. My computer is on the blink and I have share a computer with my 16 year old daughter. Not fun.

lvpoohbr2 08/ 6/2007 #

Sorry I haven't gotten my pictures out yet. My laptop is in the shop and it has all of my pictures on it that I took for this swap. I'm having to share a computer with my 16 year old right now. I'm lucky if I get a good 10 minutes on it without her bugging me. I should have my computer back in a week or so.

I e-mail a powerpoint file to my partners - but was told today that it was tooo large - it may not have gone through. It should have been stopped but our telephone lines were down. If it did go through I really hope it did not cause too much problems. Really sorry

Hi All! I have posted my pics at http://www.flickr.com/photos/47093790@N00/sets/72157601794231059/ . I could NOT come up with anything for quote #6 so that is why it is missing. Please excuse the amateur photography, but it was fun!! Crystal
