I started this last month and it rapidly ran out of steam, probably because I started it in the middle of the month. anyone interested in trying this again for April?

The idea is simply to show off your camera collection. I've found I tend to like unusual and interesting "junk store" cameras. I think I have enough to post a photo a day for at least the weekdays. Anyone else in?

The showoffs:

One of my friends has been trudging through his vast collection, photographing them. For a little inspiration. :)

I like the way he has done these in a manner that they can be used as desktop backgrounds. He has some interesting stuff there, including a few that I have as well.

So can I put you down as participating?

Here is my most recent acquisition. Set me back a whole 69 cents.

Erm, no. My "collection" is only three cameras big right now and very boring. I did just buy my first Polaroid, though!

I have in mind a project to go through my collection, clean and fix, and document and photograph them - so being in this challenge is a good motivator, I guess - sign me up. Although I might not get to the cleaning and fixing before photographing - in order to squeeze them all in for the month - so they might look pretty ratty. :)

You should contact bvy and tph1 - I believe they have quite extensive and interesting camera collections. Melethia is gathering a modest collection too, so I hear...

good idea. Brian twisted my arm to participate in the Holga challenge, and my quest for a cheap junky camera ended up adding 4 pieces to my collection.

I could do one every other day for the month, unless I go shopping again!

I own 18 cameras but never photographed them. I'm tempted but I'm afraid I won't have the time. Oh and I have the quit after one week disease for side challenges and I haven't found a cure for it, yet. I'll think about it and let you know by the weekend.
