Just read a forum post from robertig/Robert were randem/Randem referred to a website explaining PHOTOWHISPER.

So we did it. Ten people signed up for the game. I'll scrambled the sequence of the people and sent out an initial photo to the first on the list. One after another tried to copy the picture by shooting an identical one. The result can be viewed further done. Thanks for participating!

From canonguy20d/Brian (1,005) on March 17, 2005 5:38:48 PM CST Just curious - whats the turn around time - do we have a few hours or so? maybe 1 day? Cheers B Reply

From deleted.158077/deleted (6,271) on March 17, 2005 6:45:39 PM CST I finished mine within 30 minutes of the time I received the email. Don't worry... it's not too hard. ;-) Reply

From aspelin/Oliver (6,612) on March 18, 2005 1:28:17 AM CST Well, there is no hard deadline, but I tried to make the initial shot that simple that it won't take days to copy it. Let's see if it works that way or if I have to push the people along the path. Reply

From sheracer/T. S. (35,390) on April 3, 2005 5:54:02 PM CDT I was done in 20 minutes, too. Reply

From deleted.158077/deleted (6,271) on March 17, 2005 6:32:11 PM CST Done, and forwarded to the next member. Reply

From gui/Gui (6,162) on March 17, 2005 9:39:31 PM CST Got it - I should have time to shoot it tomorrow and will pass it on. Reply

From gui/Gui (6,162) on March 18, 2005 10:01:01 AM CST Done - on to next participant. Reply

From canonguy20d/Brian (1,005) on March 23, 2005 3:00:23 PM CST Where are we with this??? Is it still on.................... Reply

From deleted.158077/deleted (6,271) on March 23, 2005 5:01:02 PM CST Gosh... this isn't fun anymore. We've been stalled on one person for days now. Reply

From gui/Gui (6,162) on March 23, 2005 5:07:21 PM CST Maybe she shot film and is waiting for the lab? I'm sure Sara's take will be worth the wait, but maybe Oliver can send a reminder. Reply

From aspelin/Oliver (6,612) on March 24, 2005 2:47:31 AM CST I already did. Sara was out from home some days (didn't expect us to get on that fast). She will send out the next pic latest next morning. Reply

From de3euk/Gert (5,236) on March 23, 2005 6:24:04 PM CST Maybe we need a strict time limit on 'Photowhisper II'. If planned correctly with time zones we should be able to complete one in a weekend. Reply

From gui/Gui (6,162) on March 23, 2005 9:11:57 PM CST That seems a little fast - I know my time can be pretty limited for shooting between work/family/travel. I think for a 10 person whisper you have to reasonably expect at least 10 days (or more) to complete. What I think we should have is the ability to 'pass' on to the next person and move to the back of the list if you don't reasonably think you can finish your part in 1 day. This should help keep things moving if someone just doesn't have time on a particular day. Reply

From aspelin/Oliver (6,612) on March 24, 2005 7:23:57 AM CST I actually thought about trying out an express round next time. E.g. 8 people with digital cams and a set time slot of e.g 4 hours. Everybody has got half an hour to complete. But let's first look on how this one is processing. Looking at the results so far I'm very curious on how the last shot will look like. Reply

From awfulsara/Sara (12,294) on March 25, 2005 1:47:01 PM CST Ack! Okay, I'm the slow bug. On it's way, been working like a mad thing with two weddings to shoot in as many weeks, one of them out of town. I should have just passed it along to the next guy cause the timing was bad. Mail should arrive in mere tiny minutes. :) Sorry guys. Reply

From scottlane/Scott (2,809) on March 25, 2005 7:42:05 PM CST Well, I've sent my photo into the ether, so it's up to the next person in line. Scott Lane Reply

From scottlane/Scott (2,809) on March 27, 2005 11:18:50 AM CST Sorry - Reply

From gui/Gui (6,162) on March 29, 2005 3:37:10 PM CST Oliver - are we stuck again? -Gui Reply

From aspelin/Oliver (6,612) on March 30, 2005 4:04:57 AM CST I hope only a bit delayed :) I just sent Brian a reminder. Reply

From aspelin/Oliver (6,612) on March 30, 2005 8:58:49 AM CST Brian got delayed as he got called away for a business trip. He'll get it done by tomorrow. Reply

From de3euk/Gert (5,236) on March 31, 2005 12:08:57 AM CST Murphy's really messing with this whisper ;-) Reply

From canonguy20d/Brian (1,005) on March 31, 2005 10:25:27 AM CST Okay, done. Reply

From de3euk/Gert (5,236) on March 31, 2005 3:04:44 PM CST Done, on to the last participant! Reply

From matt/Matt (5,033) on April 3, 2005 1:58:57 PM CDT ye, and I'm being told I'm late, which isn't very nice considering I do have a lot on my plate. As a result I have a very rushed version. Don't own any of the things, shops are closed because of Pope. Emailed it. Reply

From aspelin/Oliver (6,612) on April 3, 2005 2:44:38 PM CDT Matt, personally I like it more, if participants don't extra buy stuff for doing the shot anyway. Your submission is great also if you wasn't in a rush. Thanks. PS: Reminders are reminders to remind, not to be rude or nice, sorry if you felt tread on your toes. Reply

From scottlane/Scott (2,809) on April 3, 2005 5:45:41 PM CDT Oliver Thanks for the work you went to to make this happen. Nicely organized and well done! Scott Reply

From de3euk/Gert (5,236) on April 4, 2005 12:35:20 AM CDT I think the rushing part is part of the charm. Being one of the last to submit it was really surprising to see the initial image, see the similarities and difference and then see the progression. This was fun! Even though it took long at time it was worth the wait. Reply

From deleted199107/deleted (7,831) on April 3, 2005 4:59:21 PM CDT Interesting the ratio of Energizer over Duracell... Reply

From gui/Gui (6,162) on April 3, 2005 11:10:23 PM CDT Oliver - great job running this. Thanks. Reply

From sheenastudios/Sheena (12,500) on April 3, 2005 11:34:51 PM CDT Oliver, thanks for doing this, looks really neat! :-) Reply

From terbergk/Kees (33,645) on April 6, 2005 5:56:38 PM CDT I guess that I am too late again for this one. Somebody please send me an e-mail for the next round. My office e-mail till the end of the month is: Kees.Terberg@gartmore.com I only check my private one once a week... Reply

From canonguy20d/Brian (1,005) on April 8, 2005 9:34:12 PM CDT Hi guys! This is really cool. reminds me of the game I played as a kid. Thanks Brian Reply

From schauder/Jens (1,018) on April 9, 2005 5:36:48 AM CDT Are the photos available for the public to see somewhere? Reply

From aspelin/Oliver (6,612) on April 9, 2005 7:09:29 AM CDT Yes, just scroll up. Reply

From schauder/Jens (1,018) on April 9, 2005 10:23:28 AM CDT Damn, couldn't see the images since it blocks all images not from the same site .... Reply
