I voiced my skepticism of the logistics the first time around and opted out. Trying the same thing again and expecting
a different result qualifies as insanity according to the old saw. With the tools now available to use there are many

I think the point is emotional and tactile, not about logistics and efficiency. For some people, alternatives, such as
you, I and others have suggested, may not "accomplish the same thing."
I am not among that group, but do understand that for some people, physically handling the same object and using it for
the same, collective project may create a feeling of belonging and participation that other methods of collective
creation and display of images won't. Receiving and sending the camera, which I found annoying, likely made the whole
thing more "real" for others.
I participated before, in spite of reservations about the logistics for the "fun" of the group process. I'd have been
just as happy shooting with my own OM-1. Unless there is some sort of ground swell for another physical Odyssey, I don't
need one.
I think that the TOPE is a good and proven option.
Except that it's later incarnation petered out . . .
