Hello SMU Group, Black Friday in the USA is just around the corner. Although Black Friday is not an official holiday, but as many workers have the day off as part of the Thanksgiving holiday, this is a reason to celebrate. Any day we can play around doing our favorite hobby..... photography is a reason to celebrate.

For This Swap

• The theme is "Black" ........... Black and White photos that is . The idea for the photo subject was from Simone. Thank you Simone for a great idea.

• Please remember the theme is open to your partners interpretation.

• You will have 5 swap partners that you will email 1 photo to in .jpg format. Please be sure to attach your photograph to your email. Sometimes if the photograph is just insert into the body of the email, not everyone will be able to view it in this manner.

• Please do not send links to a flickr album or blog for your partners to view your themed photo. Your photo MUST be attached in your email.

• You are free to email more than 1 photograph if you wish but only 1 is required.

• This is a very quick turn-around swap. You will only have 5 days to email your photo. Please be aware of that. As soon as you sign up, start getting ideas for your photo!!

• You may alter your photo if you wish. (i.e., photoshop, PSP, etc.)

• All photographs must be taken by you.

• If you wish to upload your photos to our Flickr Group, you must request to become a member on Flickr. Only members of the group can upload photos there. You are able to upload two (2) photos per week at the Flickr Group

• Please remember to rate your partner upon receiving the swap.

• This swap will be angeled if need be but I am hoping that will not be the case.

• This is a GROUP swap only. Please join us at: Shutter Me Up to participate in this swap if you are not already a member. We'd love to have you!

Most of all, have fun! :)
