Great news. Nicole's postcard arrived in a cold, cold London town yesterday morning. It's beautiful. The global postal system contrived to bend one corner slightly, but it's an honourable wound and in no way takes away from the serene image and the beauty of the silver print. Thanks, Nicole!

artpunk · « **Reply #51 on:** January 10, 2009, 11:02:08 AM »

Yes, mine arrived from Nicole the other day too! Thanks Nicole, it is wonderful!

It's fabulous, thanks!

And mine arrived also..just today...after seeing this lovely work I am just hoping mine is worthy!

roryot · « **Reply #54 on:** January 13, 2009, 09:24:00 PM »

Mine arrived too. A little creased but beautiful. Thanks Nicole!

Nicole BM · « **Reply #55 on:** January 15, 2009, 08:47:53 AM »

I'm really pleased you like it.

Thank you.

I just got mine from Nicole today, all the way up past the north pole (just kidding!) here in Canada. Thanks for the lovely message and wonderful image!

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #57 on:** January 16, 2009, 12:26:20 PM »

I asked my local pro lab how much they'd charge for a bulk run of 5x7 b/w silver hand prints and the price was excellent. GBP32 for 50. I'm picking my 'postcards'upon Tuesday and will mail them out ASAP after that.

Just wanted to let you all knwo that despite my moaning and groaning about having no print facilities it looks like you'll be getting a 'proper' print from me after all.

just got back from Hols to find two wonderful postcards from Oz - one from Nicole and one from Don. Thanks guys - they're superb. I hope to get mine printed and sent this week.

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #59 on:** January 19, 2009, 05:17:05 PM »

Leon, I think Don sent you a card separate from the exchange...but it is a lovely one, innit?

In other news, I received a lovely Diana + colour postcard from Diane Petersen today. Hurrah!! Thanks a lot, it's lovely.

I'm picking mine up from the lab tomorrow so should be able to post most of them out the same day.

Got mine from Diane today too. Thanks. This is fun.

Stu · « **Reply #62 on:** January 20, 2009, 01:31:44 PM »

I like free stuff!
Thanks Diane. Love it.

I will get mine sent out next week provided I have a successful darkroom sesh on the Sunday.

pdewolff · « **Reply #63 on:** January 21, 2009, 08:42:21 PM »

Thanks very much for the nice postcard ( and i was not even on the official list....)

Stu · « **Reply #64 on:** January 22, 2009, 09:36:50 AM »

Thanks Damion. Lovely shot, great colour and texture. Handwritten too - must've take a while!
Cheers.

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #65 on:** January 22, 2009, 09:42:10 AM »

Got my card from Damion yesterday - moody!! (in a good way) Thanks,mister.

Picked my cards up from the lab 2 days ago and will be mailing them today.

LT · « **Reply #66 on:** January 22, 2009, 10:38:43 AM »

also got my "rice" postcard yesterday - thanks Damion

LT · « **Reply #67 on:** January 24, 2009, 12:04:35 PM »

Got a great postcard from Rory today. A pic of a man enjoying a pint in an Irish pub. Really nice, thanks Rory.

roryot · « **Reply #68 on:** January 24, 2009, 12:23:36 PM »

That was quick Leon - only sent them out on Thursday evening, about 5pm.

I hope you could read the writing. I used a marker cos it was printed on RC paper, but it got pretty smudgy a couple of hours after writing the cards. So then I bought some labels and stuck them over the address section, so at least I could write the address with biro!

sorry to interrupt but I find biro works fine on the back of Ilford RC postcard paper. I've also used cheap&nasty, fountain pen and it seemed to dry okay with normal ink cartridges.

I rec'd Rorys today, many thanks, great card.

This is a very good thing indeed this postcard exchange.

rdbkorn · « **Reply #71 on:** January 25, 2009, 12:11:47 AM »

Mine went out in the post today.

I received postcards from Diane and Damion this week.

Diane - love the "old style" hotel sign, these seem to be fading into memory in most towns. The sprocket holes frame the image well.

Damion - first time's the charm with your pola transfer. I love the mystery of the image.

roryot · « **Reply #72 on:** January 25, 2009, 09:12:28 AM »

I also received postcards from Damion and Diane this week. Great cards, lovely to receive them

artpunk · « **Reply #73 on:** January 25, 2009, 09:59:22 AM »

I have received postcards from Diane and Nicole so far and they are both beautiful, thanks so much.
I am yet to pick mine up from the printers, I hope I can make it before the post-out deadline!

LT · « **Reply #74 on:** January 26, 2009, 11:44:48 AM »

All mine were posted today. Wonder how long they'll take to arrive.

Stu · « **Reply #75 on:** January 26, 2009, 11:48:24 AM »

Many thanks Rory. Nice shot me thinks.

Mine will be sent today.

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #76 on:** January 26, 2009, 07:30:09 PM »

Rory's arrived. Cheers mate, lovely!...next time though think about sending the beer as well.

Damion's showed up too. Love it. Top marks.

Also, I posted all mine today. For those of you who can't read my writing, the photo is called "Real Food".

roryot · « **Reply #77 on:** January 26, 2009, 07:39:49 PM »

Beckys came today - 9 day pinhole exposure - wow fantastic! Thanks

Ed you'll just have to organise a filmwasters trip to Ireland for the pints

tijeras · « **Reply #78 on:** January 26, 2009, 10:55:38 PM »

Received a very nice "Rice", and a lovely pint from Rory.

This is a lot of fun! I love the mini-gallery that is arriving in the post!

Becky

rdbkorn · « **Reply #79 on:** January 27, 2009, 07:04:04 AM »

I also received my postcard from Becky today - wow!

artpunk · « **Reply #80 on:** January 27, 2009, 08:05:46 AM »

Woot! I got two more postcards in the mail today. Thanks to Rory - lovely print mate, made me very thirsty in the > 35 degree Celsius heat today, and to Damion - also a very beaut one, great to see some Polaroid stuff too! (Mine's a Polaroid as well, but you'll have to wait and see!)

btw - re my note in parenthesis above - wait will probably be the operative word here, sorry. Due to circumstances getting the better of me this month (ie my totally disorganised lifestyle) I most likely won't be able to post mine out until early in Feb, much apologies about that, but hopefully you will like my card when you get it...

$:-\$

Nicole BM · « **Reply #81 on:** January 27, 2009, 12:08:54 PM »

First postcard has arrived all the way down to Australia! Diana, it's wonderful, thank you very much!
Isn't it funny how the little things in life can create so much joy.

pdewolff · « **Reply #82 on:** January 27, 2009, 01:01:25 PM »

Once more thank you, this time a very nice one from Becky !

LT · « **Reply #83 on:** January 27, 2009, 02:47:07 PM »

Two arrived today: a very serious pic from ed, it's a bit worrying what lengths Ed will go to to find an "edge". And the second from Becky. Thanks, I really like them both.

On a different note ... I didn't have Piet's name on the list of people to send to, should I have done?

Nicole BM · « **Reply #84 on:** January 27, 2009, 03:00:13 PM »

Leon, Piet missed out on this round, although I did send him a postcard since I had one spare as a consololation.

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #85 on:** January 27, 2009, 03:58:08 PM »

Three very beautiful postcards arrived today..Rory's,Becky's and one from Damion..I am thrilled with thir uniqueness..already planning for the next round of creativity..Think I am going to make a collage from the group..thank you one and all for making me a part of this...
