Okay, I hope I'm not treading on any toes here but I was getting a bit itchy for a Postcard or two so, with Ed's blessing, I'd like to propose the 2014 FW's Postcard Exchange
Cribbing from Becky and Diane's previous posts, rules are as follows:
1) Sign up by July 31 if you want to play.
PM me your name and address with country and e-mail.
I need your e-mail address to contact you since the forum only allows two private messages an hour. If you don't send me your e-mail, it will take a LOT longer to get your list of names.
2) Names will be sorted the following week.
Since we have Filmwasters from around the globe, I'll sort and divide the collected names into manageable groups (about 12 per group) to keep the cost of printing and postage at a manageable level. I will regularly update this topic with numbers of players.
Next I'll make a list of the sorted names and addresses and send them to everyone that signed up. Lists will be with you by August 8.
3) Postcards should be sent out by September 1
Cards can be printed in the darkroom or with inkjet printers on any paper (6x4 or 5x7 inches)
The important thing is the negative used to make the print must be a film capture.
The subject matter is entirely up to you and it's not a competition either, so have fun with it!
You can send the same print to everyone on your list, or you can make different prints for each person, it's up to you.
Details about the image such as location, camera and film type written on the back with a short message are appreciated but not required.
Stamp, address and then sign the card so we know who it's from and drop it in the mail and then wait for amazing cards to arrive in your post box.
This is always a lot of fun, so don't miss out.
Once again the important dates to remember are:
July 31 = last day to sign up.
August 8 = names sorted into groups and sent to participants.
September 1 = deadline to send out cards.
Any questions just let me know.
So, what are you waiting for...!
Total signed up so far: 25
Last week to sign up.
