The Latest News
Official Bandycams for Sales
We have teamed up with usageocoins.com to offer ready-made Bandycams. The cameras come pre-labelled and pre-registered on this website. Just enter the code at the top of any Bandycams.com page and give your new camera a mission. Buying one of these cameras helps support this website.
Bandycams Forums
Discuss Bandycamming in our new Bandycam Forums. This feature requires you to create a profile separate from Bandycams. I suggest you use the same username for both, as eventually I intend to merge these accounts.
Update on Current Bandycams
There are at present 20 bandycams free in the world. Three have been returned with photos posted. Another one is being developed right now, and will be posted soon. Each camera has its own story, its own purpose and travels. Click on the links to the left to see the bandycams which have been freed, logged, or completed with photos posted.
Of particular note, Radiophonic's Where's George Forum Cam was passed all around the country among a group of Where's George afficianados, collecting photos, stories and memorabilia as it went.
Most recently, the Geocache 1 bandycam started out life as a camera to be moved from geocache to geocache, but ended up capturing the only photo of a beloved family pet just before it died.
We Need More Bandycams
I hope you'll consider releasing one or more Bandycams. I plan to release a few this summer. I think there is a critical mass needed to get enough finds and photos to keep people engaged in this, and that all starts by having new Bandycams freed.

What is Bandycams?
Thanks for stopping by! Bandycams is a cooperative photographic project. Disposable cameras, called bandycams, are given a mission, then freed to pursue it. A bandycam is passed from person to person. Each person takes one photograph before it is passed along. This website tracks everything, and displays the photos taken.
Bandycams was inspired by the great cooperative websites that came before it. Each involve an offline activity that is coordinated by an online community, and requires a high degree of cooperation. These websites include (with their theme): Bookcrossing.com (sharing books), Geocaching.com (hidden caches), phototag.com (tracking cameras...sounds familiar?), and Where's George (tracking currency).
