New Web Concept -Photo Chaining

result222

I am in love with the idea behind this new website Photochaining. Essentially, the whole point is to get a photocard and add some strange images, then leave the memory card in an envelope instructing the person to upload their favorite image on the site. That person then takes weird images of their own and passes it along to the next person.
As much as I think this is just brilliant, I do have one thing I’d like to say: If you happen to have found a memory card around 4 years ago with all of my Europe photos on it, please send them back to me without erasing them. Wait, that was 4 years ago, at this point, it’s kinda creepy if you haven’t erased them.
