  I received camera 219, from Allison and John Whalley, while at Throssel Hole Buddhist Abbey, near Allendale, in the north of England, and took the camera to Vancouver, Canada, where I shot a few photos. On December the 3rd I handed the camera over to Justin Spence while at Granville Island in Vancouver.

  Justin S. says :

  I received a camera months ago now at Granville Island. Cannot remember the name of the woman who gave it to me, but I was informed it had begun its trip in Newcastle, England. Walking along the water towards Kitsilano in Vancouver I snapped a couple of shots of the sun setting on the bay. A few weeks ago I left the camera on a 50 False Creek South bus as I exited.
