Good Day Friends! It is that time again - to announce the theme for this month's PhotoExchange. And if you can not tell from the photo above - the theme is... Green! You are free to interpret his how ever you wish - the first blossoms of spring poking through the thawing earth; your son's first attempt at his tricycle; your efforts to save our dear Mother Earth - it is completely up to you - be creative - push yourself - just remember that the recipient should be able to interpret your idea of Green as well.
If you would like to participate in the swap, please email me at [email protected] 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 7 March - you will receive your partners name by 10 March at which time you will mail them a printed 5x7 or 5x5 of your shot of the month! I have also created a Flickr group for the swaps in which you can upload the photographs you receive - you are free to sign up there as well. All items {feel free to throw goodies in and a hand written note of course!} are to be sent by 24 March.
***********************************
I have received a few emails asking if you have to be a professional photographer to be a part of this Exchange - no, no, no my dears! The only requirements are a true love of photography, a desire to push yourself creatively and a commitment to mail your photograph to your partner on time. Hope that clears it up ;)
***********************************
*Whether you sign up via email or Flickr - be sure to send me your address, if it is not included I will be able to provide you with a partner.
Thank you so much Friends - Happy Swaping!

Are there any special requirements to participate? Is it only for professional photographers? I love your site and enjoy your enthusiasm for all of the joys of life.

I received my e-mail with my partner's info but it said "morning ritual" was the theme. This is a typo right? The theme this month is "green" isn't it?

hi elizabeth,
as mentioned on the 12 march post - it was indeed a typo!
