I have some sort of mind block when it comes to placing cameras on a regular basis. I seem to only place them when I am on some sort of trip/excursion. Unfortunately, this means that, even though I spend the majority of my time in Vancouver, it is severely under-represented.

For example, near the beginning of the project, I was in San Francisco for 2 days and left 4 cameras. The project has been going on for almost a year and a half, and, as of last week, only 3 cameras had been placed in Metro Vancouver. It’s not that there’s no where to place cameras in Vancouver – I just never think of it.

As an aside, none of the cameras left in San Francisco, or Metro Vancouver have made it back.

What this all results in, is that my participation in the project only grows when I go away. So, I’ve recently made a pact to place at least one camera a month, whether I am in Vancouver or not. To help this, I have decided to carry around one or more cameras in my pannier at all times. Since I cycle somewhat regularly, I should have a camera with me most of the time.

This came in handy last week when I was at The Persian Tea House with some friends. It dawned on me that I had a camera with me, so I placed Camera #95 at the table, hopefully in a spot where the next people to visit would see it.
