Thanks to Chad, I have the best GS, the 1100 bit tricked up with Touratech bits and chipped for more power also a Yamaha FZS1000 Fazer, I think its the FZ1 in the US

Sadly, I had to sell my dual sport (an '08 KLR), but I do have visitation rights to it, per the new owner. I've pondered buying it back from her since she's about to have a baby and probably won't be riding it. Sure wish I could own a nice BMW.

Peter84 · « **Reply #157 on:** August 19, 2014, 10:48:27 PM »

so far 8 postcards have made it to my mailbox

Paul's pinhole
David's figurative work
Shaun's tulips
Manual's pinhole
Leonore instant negative recovery college
Chad's Boise depot
James's Cyanotype
Adam's Storefront Joker

Like said before it's so nice to see what other peoples interests in subjects to photograph is.
When Christmas arrives my mailbox overflows with Christmas cards whom get chucked out not even a week later but this is so different this is stuff you want to keep, so that's exactly what I'm gonna do. Normally postcards annoy me because they are so stereotypical, they try to force an emotion on you but this is so spontaneously and that is what I think makes it so beautiful, thank all of you for your hard work, I'm glad to have been a part of this postcard exchange.

Was told I received a number of cards. Only sent cards local to the states so far. Didnt have enough international postage, it seems. Printed digital on rubbish dyesub printer, no fancy cyanotype from me this year.

I perfer my Honda CN250 (Helix, Fusion, Spazio) maxi scoot! I bought it twice already (1986, 2004). I still have my old 60's Honda Dream CB450; 444cc! Yes four's are a bad number in Japan:)

Came home to a wonder(full) mailbox last night! Big thank you to all senders!
Just finished my masters so that have taken a bit of my focus

Will be sending out my postcards early next week.

Filmwasters rocks!

ManuelL · « **Reply #160 on:** August 20, 2014, 06:11:14 PM »

Received 5 fantastic cards from Leonore, Adam, Paul, James & Chad this week.

Love them all!

(By the way - my girlfriend is just as excited about the card exchange as I am

)

Over the last few days I havew received Harveys fantastic tulipstill life,and Chad's wonderful Polathat looks like a Bonny and Clyde film setup. Thanks guys so much Mine will be posted over the next couple of days.

zapsnaps · « **Reply #162 on:** August 21, 2014, 07:58:18 AM »

A wonderful bleached & toned cyanotype arrived yesterday from James - thank you very much - it's a work of art.

Jack Johnson · « **Reply #163 on:** August 22, 2014, 04:27:35 AM »

Six postcards over the weekend and one more in the last week, bringing my total up to eight so far!

Fantastic postcards from Shaun, Adam, Paul, Leonore, James, Chad, and Manuel!

Leonore, I have a stockpile of packfilm negatives waiting for a rainy day.

Adam Doe · « **Reply #164 on:** August 23, 2014, 06:35:36 AM »

Paul's excellent postcard of Aldeburgh arrived today! The color's are terrific Paul, you' definitely achieved your goal as stated on the back of the card.

gsgary · « **Reply #165 on:** August 23, 2014, 01:57:39 PM »

Just got back from town with Black+White photography and 2 rolls of Agfa Vista from poundland and now I'm enjoying Irvin's great postcard with a cup of coffee

Late Developer · « **Reply #166 on:** August 23, 2014, 03:06:20 PM »

Well, I've just had a look through the stack of cards I have on my desk and they are as stunning as they are diverse:

- Leonore's wonderful Fujiroid collage of a tree
- jharr's dreamy waxed-paper and tinted abstract
- Adam's lovely and colourful joker print
- Chad's fantastic dust-bowl period study of Boise
- Manuel's glorious and moody stone circle
- Shaun's stunning multiple exposure of Tulips in a glass vase
- (Dave's) Zapsnap's gorgeous figure study
- Paul Mitchell's just perfect pinhole study of Southwold

Thank you, one and all.

Ive sent off for more cards to send to everyone but its different to the first lot

thatguychad · « **Reply #168 on:** August 25, 2014, 09:40:11 PM »

Got a very nice "retro seaside" card from Paul on Friday, and a lovely print from Peter in the Netherlands today that makes me wish I had a darkroom right now.

Francois · « **Reply #169 on:** August 25, 2014, 09:57:35 PM »

Since it's better late than never, I just want to say mine are finally handed to the Postal service.

jharr · « **Reply #170 on:** August 26, 2014, 12:38:13 AM »

Paul's seaside card arrived. my wife said it reminded her of when her dad and aunts and uncles would set up the projector and show slides of vacations. It is a very nostalgic photo. Also Peter's wonderful "sad teddy" print got here today. Maybe not "sad", but just "waiting". I guess since everyone is getting different prints, no one will know what I'm talking about. Will there be a thread where everyone can put scans of the card(s) they sent so that everyone can enjoy the ones they didn't receive?

astrobeck · « **Reply #171 on:** August 26, 2014, 09:27:03 PM »

Whew!
After fretting about what card to make, I finally have one I'm happy with....
Now to address them all and get them sent by the September 1 deadline!

Thanks again Harvey for doing this, you rock dude, and thanks to everyone who has sent such amazing cards!
I always try to guess who the sender is without flipping it over and have been delightfully surprised so far!

Becky...addressing furiously. :-)

Jack Johnson · « **Reply #172 on:** August 27, 2014, 05:12:50 AM »

Addressed mine during lunch and sent them on their way on my way home.

Late Developer · « **Reply #173 on:** August 27, 2014, 12:39:29 PM »

I'm glad the "retro seaside postcard" seems to have been well-received. I remember spending quite a while trying to think of something worthy to shoot and then it dawned on me that this was a postcard swap and that I don't live that far away from a pretty traditional / kitsch bit of the English seaside.

As I hadn't really tried out Ektar much previously, I gave that a go and tried to get the end result as near possible to the sort of cards that used to proliferate in sea-front gift shops when I was a youngster.

A really enjoyable one to shoot and I must admit I've loved all of the cards I've received.

Paul Mitchell · « **Reply #174 on:** August 27, 2014, 12:51:06 PM »

I liked Paul's card so much that I'm doing a print swap with him... reminded me of a Martin Parr.

Received another beaut from Chad today... just a pity that the US Postal Service decided to frank it on both sides!

Paul

Mine are in the mail, finally. Spotted a mispelling, just when sticking on the stamps. Oh well, maybe no-one will notice.

To paraphrase a recent American president ... it is a done deal. Just in time, but the postcards are on their way. Thank you all for the postcards that found their way to Maarssen. It was jolly good fun!!
