Leaving Camera Memory Cards in Public Places

   I am not sure. But do all cameras create the same file name sequence? If different cameras use different naming codes then it will be interesting to see what shows up.

   Cool idea- kinda like those traveling dollar bills, except you get to see pictures of where your card has traveled. I'd say go with an SD card- the most common and they are dirt cheap.

   Or you could just go on the internet and see the millions of pictures people all over the world have already taken.

   bonus: do not leave them in such completely open and random places but rather in geocaches. you are much, much more likely to have good results since the audience is already in tune to this sort of thing.

   great use for those skanky little 8mb, 32mb cards that come with most cameras.

   non-k-ted:
   why go to niagara falls when you could read about it? why make love when you could watch porn? life is slightly more interesting when you actually participate. also, this has a distinctly local flavor and emphasis. and this gives a specific focus.

   Well, tedk, this isn't really participating, since you leave the card somewhere. You're not actually traveling with the memory card, and you still have to look it up online, in the hopes that someone else would follow your instructions.

   In your porn analogy, you're still getting pictures of others making love, without actually participating.

   I do agree the geocaching thing would be more successful and interesting. And it gets everybody more involved than just leaving a memory card in a bathroom somewhere.
