Swaptata

Today was a red letter day. Actually it was a photo letter day. I am active in several groups on the flickr site, one of which is UTATA. This group also has a great photoblog at www.UTATA.com (I think) . Swaptata is a photo exchange activity within the UTATA group. In the swaptata thread a group of people sign up and submit a mailing address to one email address. That person chooses 3 mailing addresses and emails them back to you. Everyone playing receives 3 random addresses and all participants send a different photo of their choice to each address. Once the photos are received in the mail the recipient takes a photo of the photo that was mailed to them and posts in the thread What a kick. I got these lovelies. My photos went to Sweden, Canada, and Maryland. I hit the jackpot as one of my contacts sent three lovely shots, and I am still awaiting the last of my photos. It was rather difficult to choose the photos for individuals I didn't even know. I didn't think to go to their photostreams. duh! Seems like the work I sent was well received. It still surprises me that I take photographs that others find engaging.
