Author Topic: Postcard exchange is open for sign up (Read 9756 times)

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, no I haven’t seen a pm from yourself. Can you re-send it and if there’s still nothing I’ll pm you my email?
Thanks

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

Harvey · « **Reply #25 on:** April 01, 2021, 09:09:48 PM »

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.

cs1 · « **Reply #26 on:** April 01, 2021, 09:13:11 PM »

I'd be happy with sending a card to everyone.

Kai-san · « **Reply #27 on:** April 01, 2021, 09:14:22 PM »

I'll be more than happy to send to all participants.

02Pilot · « **Reply #28 on:** April 01, 2021, 10:07:22 PM »

I'm an all-or-nothing kind of a guy. You're all getting a card from me whether you like it or not.

Bryan · « **Reply #29 on:** April 01, 2021, 11:44:22 PM »

I might even send two cards to everyone, having too much fun with my new enlarger.

astrobeck · « **Reply #30 on:** April 02, 2021, 02:07:10 AM »

I'm game for sending to everyone!

ManuelL · « **Reply #31 on:** April 02, 2021, 04:51:34 AM »

Happy to send to everyone.

Harvey · « **Reply #32 on:** April 02, 2021, 04:20:53 PM »

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

kentish cob · « **Reply #33 on:** April 02, 2021, 04:28:41 PM »

cs1 · « **Reply #37 on:** April 05, 2021, 12:01:04 PM »

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".

Harvey · « **Reply #38 on:** April 05, 2021, 01:36:05 PM »

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 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

irv_b · « **Reply #41 on:** April 05, 2021, 08:43:11 PM »

Got it thanks Harvey

zapsnaps · « **Reply #42 on:** April 08, 2021, 12:00:15 PM »

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

LEAFotography · « **Reply #43 on:** April 08, 2021, 02:41:16 PM »

I just received my first one from Tim also! A fantastic one taken with a Diana F with glued in Kershaw lens! Thanks Tim!

I'm still at the choosing images stage, to get ready for when the printers open!

02Pilot · « **Reply #44 on:** April 08, 2021, 07:01:11 PM »

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.

Adam Doe · « **Reply #45 on:** April 08, 2021, 07:14:08 PM »

Some of you folks are fast. I still have to shoot mine and have it made into photos.

cs1 · « **Reply #46 on:** April 08, 2021, 08:30:05 PM »

I've printed mine but still waiting for the proper stamps.

leanne · « **Reply #47 on:** April 09, 2021, 10:48:18 AM »

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.

Par4cm · « **Reply #48 on:** April 09, 2021, 02:09:43 PM »

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

cs1 · « **Reply #49 on:** April 09, 2021, 02:56:01 PM »

The stamps arrived! Stuck them on the cards so I have high hopes to be able to post them today.
