SOMEONE’S SENT US AN IDEA! AND SOME MONEY.

Barely a day after the launch of the fund and we’d received both our first idea and our first £50 donation.

Both were from the same person. Giving your money away and then trying to win it back again - exactly the sort of needlessly dangerous behaviour that we like!

So thank you Matthew for getting the ball rolling. Good luck.

Here’s his idea…

“so, the idea is all up at http://disposablememoryproject.org but in a nutshell - we buy a load of disposable cameras, and leave them around london - in a plastic bag with some basic instructions. the instructions will ask the finder of the camera to take some photos, and pass it on to someone else (or leave somewhere to be found). if you finish the camera - we ask you to send it back to us, and we’ll develop it, and upload the photos. anyone who finds the camera can also visit the website, and say where they found it, so we can track its movements. hopefully, we’ll get some (probably not all) of the cameras back, and they’ll show a visual representation of their journeys. the money would go towards buying the first set of cameras (£2.50 a camera) and developing the cameras (about £6 i think).”

Lovely stuff…
