One of the primary reasons I decided to return to blogging is the sense of community I feel in this realm.  This time around, I want to do more to engage my readers in this adventure - community, openness, sharing - some of my mantras of 2008.  One project I have planned for this blog is to host a monthly photo exchange where each month will be a different theme {Polaroid, Holga, black and white, the season, etc.}

So... I would like to share this month's theme and invite readers to participate.  We will be capturing moments from 'Morning Rituals' for the month of February.  Whether it be a shot of your favorite mug of latte or an action shot of rushing for the school bus - I simply would love to honor this hour of the day and your moment in it.  If you would like to participate in the swap, please email me at info@nectarandlight.com with the following information:  Your name, website/blog, mailing address and link to your Flickr account {if you have one}.  I will collect names through 9 February - you will receive your partners name by 11 February at which time you will mail them a printed 5x7 or 5x5 of your shot of the month!  I will also be creating a Flickr group for the swaps in which you can upload the photographs you receive.  All items {feel free to throw goodies in and a hand written note of course!} are to be sent by 25 February.

Thank you and I hope you have fun with this!

Please Note:  I can not be held responsible for a swap partner who does not follow through.  If you have such an experience, please email me so I can ensure they are unable to participate in any future exchanges.

***Edited to say:  Thank you so much for the wonderful response so far - we have some amazing photographers signing up - so exciting!!***
