The images from Camera 38 are now online available for viewing. This camera is our fourth to be returned, as contains a mix of images from North London (see Archway Kebabs above!) to Cambodia, courtesy of Andrew G, who sent us this back.

The camera, in our reckoning has travelled 12,600 miles, so it has weathered well considering its journey. You can, as ever, see all of the images on the camera page, as well as our flickr group – where we’d love to hear your comments on the images, especially if you’re featured in any of them!

We’ve had an email from Mike, who found Camera 29 after its drop in Venice Beach. He’s provided us a bit more information about the first and second images on the roll:

My name’s mike I found the camera on a park bench along the water at Venice Beach. My dad was in town from TX and he and I were doing a long bike ride from Pacific Palisades to Hollywood. The first pic is of the two of us. He was very intrigued by the project.

I took a picture of my rabbit Buddy Hollywood, then dropped the camera off at my group art show in Pasadena that night. Someone else took pix of the show.

What a great idea, I am so pleased it worked out!

Thanks for the update Mike, and if you know any of the people in the other images from Camera 29, please let us know.

Update: Mike sent us even more info about the later pictures on the roll, and its journey:

Btw The camera made it from Venice, ca to pasadena, ca then it made it’s way almost to the state line. Those windmills are on the way to palm springs.

Whoo! The images from our very first camera to be returned are now online in the flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/photos/disposablememoryproject/sets/72157612468305465/

Thanks to Melanie for creating the camera, and BlazeNFoote for sending it back, as well as everyone who featured in the images. We’ll be making more of the images on the Camera 29 page in due course.

If you took any of the photos, or appear in them, or can even help us identify location, email us, or comment on the images in flickr or below, and we’ll update the images to help tell their story.
