The Filmwaster’s postcard exchange is go!
A reminder of the ‘rules’:
Postcards can be wet printed or scanned and printed digitally, home produced or commercially printed.
There is only one rule and that is that the image must have originated using analogue methods; film or paper, process of your choosing.
If you wish to sign up please pm me your postal address.
Depending on the number of people signing up we may offer to split the list but that will be discussed in this thread at the end of the sign up period.
The deadline for signing up is 31 March 2021
The deadline for sending out postcards is 31 May 2021. I hope that this is acceptable and workable around current lockdown restrictions.
It’s been a pretty ropey last 12 months so let’s get inspired and show the world.
Those currently signed up are:
Astrobeck, O2 Pilot, ManuelL, Kai-san, Bryan, grit, Adam Doe, Kentish cob, limr, Par4cm, irv_b, Harvey, cs1, zapsnaps, LEAFotography, Leanne, Ed Wenn, Mike(happyforest)

Hi David, nothing yet.
I sent myself a test message and that worked okay so despite two messages not getting to me I don’t think it’s my end.
If you want to try again and if not I’ll pm you my email.
Thanks

Harvey, perhaps a running list of those signed up could be added to the first post to eliminate the uncertainty of successful communication?

Hi Mike, I’ve not got your pm yet. I’ll pm you my email in case.
Thanks

Okay, so we’ve got 18 signed up to play:
6 USA
2 Germany
1 Norway
9 UK
Is everyone happy to send to all participants? We have previously offered two smaller lists, names for each list being drawn from a hat. This doesn’t preclude anyone from sending to all if you wish. Of course the benefit of a single list is seventeen postcards dropping onto everyone’s doormat which is brilliant.
Let’s have a decision by Sunday 4 April and I’ll start emailing out.
Thanks all.
-
I'd be happy with sending a card to everyone.
-
I'll be more than happy to send to all participants.
-
I'm an all-or-nothing kind of a guy. You're all getting a card from me whether you like it or not.
-
I might even send two cards to everyone, having too much fun with my new enlarger.
-
I'm game for sending to everyone!
-
Happy to send to everyone.
-
The list has gone out to all those who have so far requested a send to all. If you haven't received it please let me know, that's Astrobeck, cs!, Kai-san, 02pilot, Bryan, Manuel, Kentish cob. As and when more people respond I will send them the list. All remaining lists will be sent Monday 05 April.
Thanks
-
I too, am happy to send to all...
-
I will send to all.
-
Yes , will send to everyone........getting exciting now!
-
I'm happy to send to everyone.
-
Exciting! :) Just printed and wrote all postcards. Now waiting for the proper stamps I ordered because I didn't want to just print out those ugly "internet stamps". ;)
-
I have just finished emailing out the address list. Everyone who has signed up should now have a list of all eighteen names and addresses including their own. If anyone doesn’t have it please let me know.
Let the postcards roll!
Thanks everyone.
-
Hi Harvey I am happy to send to everyone on the list so if you could pm me the addresses that'll be cool

Hi Irv,
I have just re-sent you the list as it seems you didn’t receive it first time. Let me know if you get it.
Thanks
-
Got it thanks Harvey
-
I've just received my first - a lovely Holga print from Tim - thank you.
There will be a delay in posting mine out - I need sunshine (there's a clue) which will be in short supply in the UK over the next week
-
I just received my first one from Tim also! A fantastic one taken with a Diana F with glued in Kershaw lens! Thanks Tim! :D
I'm still at the choosing images stage, to get ready for when the printers open!
-
Yeah, I'm still deciding which image(s) to use. In the past I've printed maybe four different shots, but I'm debating whether or not to just go with a single photo this time. Then I have to figure out if my printer still works after months of inactivity.
-
Some of you folks are fast. I still have to shoot mine and have it made into photos. ;D
-
I've printed mine but still waiting for the proper stamps. :)
-
A lovely card received from Tim Parry this morning. Thank you.
Moo are delivering my cards on Saturday so I will post out over the weekend.
-
Yes.......got carried away making the postcards.....already had a load of prints so that’s why so quick .....all went out same day. Hope people enjoy them . Tim 8)
-
The stamps arrived! Stuck them on the cards so I have high hopes to be able to post them today. :)
-
Finally! Postcards are on their way. :)
-
I’ve posted all the uk ones. Internationals will be sent on Monday when I can get to the post office.
-
I've received a lovely postcard from Tim. Thank you very much, I love it. :)
-
Tim's beautiful card arrived yesterday. Love the picture. :)
-
Just took my first batch to the post office today. Haven’t had any show up yet, probably because the Post Office has been extra slow lately.
-
I am in the darkroom trying to get something presentable to send out, hpefully it wont be too much longer :o :D
-
Mine are all addressed....
Now to just put stamps.
Thanks to Harvey for rounding us all up!!!! 8)
-
In receipt of Tim's lovely Diana shot... a splendid start to proceedings.
I've yet to make my final image choice, but have whittled down to a shortlist of 2.
In previous years I've printed at home, but this year I've decided to give Moo a try... should have a final choice and image sent to print in the next few days.
-
Just got my first postcard....very atmospheric pin hole image from Leanne...lovely
-
A lovely card received from Tim Parry this morning. Thank you.

Your card to me arrived today, thank you :D
-
I received Leanne's card today a new surprise after a crappy day at work - so thank you very much.
I couldn't choice between to two shots so I printed them both and they'll arrive by envelope.
-
mine have all been posted today.
Received a cool one from Bryan! Wow!
-
A nice card arrived from Christian this morning. Thank you.
-
Received a fab postcard from Christian this morning! A lovely Rollei 80S film developed with Caffenol C-H! Thank you :D
-
Wow, the Deutsche Post and Royal Mail seem to be really quick! Brilliant! :)
Leanne's beautiful card arrived today, thank you very much! :)
-
mine have all been posted today.
Received a cool one from Bryan! Wow!
I’m glad you liked that Becky, just got your card today and Tim’s card, both very nice cards. Becky, I’m not sure how you got that effect but it’s really cool. If you like my first card I think you’ll like the second one as well. I hope to get them mailed this weekend. It’s been a very busy week for me, so I haven’t had a chance to work on them. I feel like all I’ve done is drive all over Washington and Oregon for work, hopefully I got a few good shots out of it.
-
A lovely bugly card arrived from Bryan this morning. Thank you.

A lovely bugly card arrived from Bryan this morning. Thank you.
I happened to have the same thing happen to me today.
I also had Christian's card come through the letterbox Thursday, so many thanks to you both
-
The past few days have brought cards from Leanne, Christian and Bryan... Thanks all. :)
I managed to get the ducks lined up and chose my image... Moo are set to deliver my box of cards next week. Then the biggest challenge... try to write something legible on them..!
-
I've received two lovely cards from Tim and Christian, thanks to both! Mine are ready to be scribbled on, will go in the post on Monday.
-
Hi Irv! Your lovely cards arrived today. Thanks, mate! 😀
-
Got some beautiful cards from Leanne and Irv this week. :)
Always makes me happy to find another card in my post box and it is great to share your work with my family.
-
I've just received two fabulous prints from Irv this morning! Thank you so much :D
And I now have my selection ready for the printers, so hopefully will be in the post later this week.
-
I found Bryan's and Becky's postcards in my mailbox today. Thank you very much for the lovely cards, guys! :)
-
a swirly-sky Becky card arrived today! Hooray!
-
I shipped my second batch over the weekend so everyone should get two cards from me.
-
The first colour postcard came through the door today and it was from Becky. Thank you so much it's a lovely card to receive.
-
Mine went into the post this morning, but now I see that some people are sending two cards. Did I miss out on something here? What are the rules (if any)? Not that I would mind sending another card, I would be very happy to keep the postal services busy. The government is just looking for excuses to shut it down.

I only sent two cards because I wanted to. Nobody is expected to send more than one.
-
I got a fab and starry card from Becky today, thank you!
I've now got my cards, and stamps, so should be in the post tomorrow, both UK and overseas!
-
Manuel's lovely forest scene postcard arrived today. :)
-
My cards arrived from the printer today. The UK ones were posted this afternoon, RoW will be posted on Friday.
Thank you to all who have sent them to me so far, but I especially like the one from AstroBeck& LEAFotography. If you haven't seen them yet, you are in for a treat!
-
Postcards have arrived from Bryan, Christian, Irv, Becky & Andy. All wonderfully different.
-
Mine all went in the post today! Hopefully the UK ones will arrive in a few days, unsure how long to Europe and North America!
And after my "guestimation" went awry, I have two extra stamps and cards for overseas...I think there's another thread where I should offer that up...

"You got another bug!"
-My wife, yesterday
:D
Thanks for all the postcards sent so far; they are wonderful! I have mine all printed and will mail them out as soon as my postage stamps arrive; should be early next week.
-
Coming through thick and fast now... Irv's "twin pack", earlier in the week, and Bryan's 2nd, followed by cards from Manuel, Andy, Kai, David, and the only colour so far from Becky.
Thanks all, for a wonderfully diverse crop.
Just taken a break from scribbling mine... writers cramp - seems we're no longer used to wielding a pen for extended periods.
Will take a stroll to the post box a little later.
-
A thankyou catch up to you guys whose card I received this week
Bryan's microscopic Water Boatman.
David's lustful car print.
Andy's Diagonal shot -lovely tones from the Paranol S.
Manuel's super sharp forest shot.
Excellence all round.
-
Mine are now posted. It’s been a fantastic exchange, so much variety from such a gifted bunch of folk. A great idea to run this event again. Thank you all for the inspiration.
-
more lovely cards today!
A nice one from Leanne and a pair from Irv, plus another bug from Bryan.
Bryan the info on what kind of bug was smeared from the postal sorter, so I'm guessing it's a flea of some sort?
I love all my cards. They are all great and I have then on the coffee table to admire.

Becky, it's a Nymph Water Boatman, also known as a Backswimmer or the scientific name Notonecta. You've probably seen them swimming in ponds, they are quite common.
-
Kai's postcard arrived today. Thank you very much, mate, I like it a lot! :)
-
Good to hear that the cards are starting to arrive, and that you like them! Leanne's beautiful seafront card arrived this week, thanks! Looks like we got a lot to look forward to next week! We should do this more often! :)
-
This morning's post brought a lovely forest scene from Manuel and a nice lake district view plus a pennyfarthing rider from Irv. Thank you both! :)
-
A great image from Sean in the post today, thank you :D
-
Cards are flooding in now, almost a new one each day. in the last week I've got them from Christian, Leanne, Manuel and two from Irv. All great cards, my wife and I both get excited to see them in the mail.
-
Just received word that my postcards have been printed and are on their way. Have ordered domestic and international stamps and am looking forward to sending them out. In the meantime I have received some excellent cards from AstroBeck, Bryan, Tim and Leanne. Thank you all, these are great and I'm excited to have a wall of Filmwaster's work over my desk at home.
-
My mantelpiece is looking fantastic! :D
Bryan, I have a second card from you today. Thank you so much!
And a wonderful one from Tony also, thank you!
-
Shaun's postcard arrived today! Thanks, mate! :)
-
beautiful card from Manuel today. I love my collection so far! Thanks everyone! 8)
-
My collection is growing daily, too. Thanks, Tony, for the fantastic card! :)
-
Apologies guy’s, unfortunately my laptop windows installation got corrupted on me the other weekend and recovery media didn’t work either. So I have been struggling to get a working windows 8.1 installation on this 8 year old device. Anyway I have just finished rebuilding it so I can now get my postcards sorted over the bank holiday weekend.
So apologies for being tardy, and hopefully the postcards will be on their way next week.
Regards
Mike

I must admit that such a setup must be painfully slow.
If you don't care about windows and want to make it speedy once again switch to MX Linux. It's made for older hardware, it's secure and looks fine.
-
I too have been slow to get started. It's the end of the semester, which means mounds of grading and whatnot. Rest assured I will kick my printer into life and get cards out in the next week or two.
-
Hi everyone, thanks for the slew of wonderful cards that have been trickling through my door over the last couple of weeks; they're all gorgeous and it's been a real tonic seeing them. Predictably enough I haven't done mine yet - although in my defence I've been searching high and low for a specific Polaroid photo that I want to use and now can't find anywhere. Grr!!
-
Lots of goodies in my mailbox this morning from Becky, Andy and David. Thanks to all of you! :)
-
Collection building nicely with the addition of Shaun's card this week, thank you.
And now, an admission, quickly followed by an apology.
Having posted my cards and relaxed my mind around a week ago, I went to find a pen in the desk drawer yesterday, and found... 3 postcards, all written, addressed and internationally stamped... Oh my..! How did that happen..?
So, for the 3 amigos who will not yet have received anything from me, they are now, after a short and wholly avoidable hiatus, on their way, and I am truly sorry for my tardiness.
-
Shaun's and Tony's cards landed on the doormat last weekto add the growing collection , so many thanks guys.
-
I found two lovely bugs in my mailbox, thanks Bryan! :)
-
Finally made a run to the post office and sent off all of my postcards today. Hope they get to you soon.
-
OK, all my postcards are in the mail! North American residents should get them by end of week. Thanks again for all the ones I've received so far; they have been commandeered to adorn my wife's at-home workstation. it's nice to have some new artwork in our home!
-
Mine are finally on the way as well. Apologies in advance for the brevity of my correspondence.
-
Thank you Adam! your wonderful card just dropped through my letter box!
And Shochu sounds delicious!
-
Adam's card arrived in the UK today from the US - 5 days is quite impressive. But the most impressive thing is the picture itself - if you haven't received yours yet, you're in for a treat.
Thanks to all - it's been a really good exchange
-
And my cards were finally mailed out this week! End of semester things, vacation, and waiting for delivery of the service I used...these things made me all last-minute-y, but I'm still in before the deadline :)
-
My goodness! Another gem through my letter box!
Thank you Andrej, your card arrived today :D
-
Classy offerings from Adam and Leonore arrived this week... Thank you both... super additions to a lovely collection.
-
My card from Leonore arrived today!
Fantastic, thank you!
-
Thanks to Adam and Ryan for very nice cards! And I must not forget the lovely ducks from Tony!
-
Thanks, everyone, for the wonderful postcards and photographs! I put them all up right over my computer so I can see them while I am working.
-
Thank you Ryan! Your card arrived today! :D
