argus WORLD ARGOSY II Guidelines
- Upon receipt of the camera, each photographer shall
e-mail James Surprenant at ne1ri@yahoo.com to confirm receipt. In response, James will provide you with the name address and e-mail address of the next photographer.
- Each photographer may shoot as many rolls of film
as he or she likes, but must try to turn the camera over to the next photographer as soon as possible. Ideally, each
photographer should have the camera for only one week, excluding complicating real life circumstances.
- Black & white or color photography is acceptable.

web site. Be sure to indicate "World Argosy Photos" in the subject line of your email.

not be taken with the World Argus Model A, but we encourage you to include the camera in your portrait.

with other participants to hand off the camera, please feel free to submit jpegs of the exchange for inclusion on the website.
