mailroom
This is great: camera mail.
I particularly like "Please help us with our project", it's a cool phrase, and I imagine that postal workers, much like newspaper circulation officers, have got a lot of head space for thinking about projects they might like to get on with, and may be willing if asked nicely to contribute to someone elses thing.
I got it via cafenut, who is also aiming to "be a better blogger".
On the 22nd of December 2004, Kyle Van Horn taped a disposable camera to a piece of black foamcore and inscribed upon it the following message: "ATTENTION POSTAL WORKERS! Please help us with our project. As this camera travels across the country we want photos of all whom it encounters. Please take a photo before you pass it along. Thank you!"

Hey that sounds super cool, I wonder if the postal workers who encountered the camera got into the spirit and sent wacky photos of them laying in big tubs of mail and running around with mail bags on their heads?
Wait I didn't see the link there, I checked it out, no mail people bathing in big tubs or mail or running around with mail bags on their heads sadly.
Is a very cool idea though and great to see people happily get involved in the spirit of something interesting and creative!
