Alternative Funding Strategy: Trans Siberia

To raise money to enable her to attend a conference she was invited to participate in, which was taking place on the Trans Siberian Train from Moscow to Beijing in 2005, Elly Clarke sold photos she had not yet taken via eBay. With her Leica M6 (analogue) camera, she took two pictures a day - one at 10am, the other at 4pm, and sent them to the buyer when she got home, along with contact sheet. The series was later turned into a limited edition set of 21 postcards.
