Mart "The Mighty Leichter"s postcard arrived from (I'm guessing) Florida at the end of last week. I haven't been to NYC for just over 5 years and I really miss it, so this hit the spot. Thanks, mister

Then yesterday I was treated to some Caddy action (1954 style), by Steven. I'm deep into "Mad Men" and while I know this model pre-dates that show, it still made a connection in my head. Thanks.

I'll be getting mine printed tonight and will inevitably mail them out way too late, but you will all get them. I pwomise.

Yesterday: Steven's swooshing caddy fin and Rob's fantastic "Big Dig"... Family coming over for dinner today and will see the whole gallery.

postcards from Martin and Becky,as well as Rolo have also arrived safe and sound..i love every one of them..beautiful work! Thank you so much!

Stu · « **Reply #54 on:** November 27, 2009, 09:56:28 AM »

Mr Schneider, Mr Spurgoen and Miss Becky, I thank you all. Really cracking stuff.

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #55 on:** November 27, 2009, 05:54:00 PM »

Mine are on their way!

Roger Thoms · « **Reply #56 on:** November 29, 2009, 06:04:30 AM »

OK, mine are printing as we speak. Decided to do hybrid film/inkjet cards this time. I had an image that I liked that was shot on slide film, plus I was inspired by the color postcards I have already received. I should have the cards in the mail in the next day or two.

So far I have received 6 cards, all very nice. Thanks Becky, Martin, Rob, Steven, Vicky, and Piet.

Stunning cards from Steven, Becky, Robert and Sheila, thank you so much!!

Roger Thoms · « **Reply #58 on:** November 30, 2009, 07:49:16 PM »

OK, it's official my cards posted today. Hope everyone likes my card, it might be kind of boring compared to some of the toy camera shots I have received. Maybe I'll have to find a Toy camera to shoot with.

Roger

mart · « **Reply #59 on:** December 02, 2009, 08:45:22 PM »

I'm in the mood to make some comments about my fellow "wasters" cards, but I'd basically like to have the lot. I trust more are on the way especially from those across the pond in the island kingdom. Slow post, I guess.

snewbery · « **Reply #60 on:** December 02, 2009, 09:10:54 PM »

Postcards from Roger and Diane yesterday (thank you!)---the gallery is filling out: 8 cards thus far.

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #61 on:** December 02, 2009, 11:04:56 PM »

Living in such a remote small area..the postmaster sees and comments on the postcards I receive...i suspect everyone is the wee town of Winchester knows about the fun we have with this venture! Thats what happens when you live in a place like this...They definitely have the right to be jealous!

Stu · « **Reply #62 on:** December 03, 2009, 10:38:54 AM »

Took me a while to work out who it was from (post marked right over the web address) but thak you Diane for the latest great print.

Nigel · « **Reply #63 on:** December 04, 2009, 05:28:05 PM »

Thanks to everyone who has sent cards so far, it's great having them pop onto my mat!

I hope to get mine posted this weekend.

Nigel

Finally got my postcards in the post today.

otto k · « **Reply #65 on:** December 04, 2009, 07:35:34 PM »

I agree with the others...it's fun to be getting these wonderful cards in the mail.

artdog · « **Reply #66 on:** December 04, 2009, 08:21:57 PM »

This weeks bounty continues to thrill me with the wonderful art filling our mailbox.

Becky's shot of the Hope store is just plain fun. Nice shot

Diane's "District 41" speaks to my love of relics. I especially enjoy the smiley face.

Roger: Yikes, man. You hit my spot for old trailers. I 0wned a vintage Airstream for years and this reminds me of those days. This is a spectacular image. I encourage you to find a toy camera and see the world anew.

will get mine out this week, apologie for delay.

has anyone received a cuban themed one from me in the past, ive lost track of what i have sent!!!

rolo · « **Reply #68 on:** December 07, 2009, 04:06:49 AM »

As usual, I'm loving them all.

Damion, I don't recall a Cuban-themed card, but even if you did send one in the past, I'm certainly open to more -- be it the country or the sandwich.

:-)

This-is-damion · « **Reply #69 on:** December 07, 2009, 11:44:05 AM »

Mine have been posted!

and thanks Rolo...but my mass of disorganisation means that I didnt send a cuban themed one, as its been "filed" away, by the wife, in a yet to be disclosed location. ho hum......

Also - Would our friends in the USA be branded "Reds" if they were to receive such a card? I'd hate to responsible for the COINTELPRO people showing up at anyones house...... needless to say I met a few Americans in havana.....seems the travel ban is working well.....

I've loads of amazing postcards so far - really top of the range quality. Thanks all.

I'm going to have to be out of time with this one ... will get the cards out as soon as I can in the new year.

astrobeck · « **Reply #76 on:** December 15, 2009, 12:56:34 AM »

Nice ones in the post from Nigel and Damien today!

Love those party balloons, and of course pinhole rocks my world always.

Thanks a bunch guys!

Stu · « **Reply #77 on:** December 15, 2009, 10:48:12 AM »

My postcards should be sent out before Christmas. Thanks to everyone to have sent so far. Reeeeeally nice.

pdewolff · « **Reply #78 on:** December 23, 2009, 10:06:49 AM »

I'm just curious how Filmwasters "treat" their exchanged postcards, in a book ? on the wall ? framed ? on a pile ? behind a magnet on the fridge ? mine are in small photobooks, one on every page and nice to look at.

Hey!
Sorry - mine are still missing, will try to hurry up - i'm moving into a new flat so time is quite rare.

But i'll send them for sure!

I have mine proudly on my work wall beside me - a sort of patchwork of lovely stuff. Will get a pic.

Our postcards are displayed on the piano---gives them a nice background and a natural focus as you walk into the room.

Thanks again to everyone; have enjoyed these greatly! --Sheila

mart · « **Reply #82 on:** December 24, 2009, 09:31:37 PM »

Now that virtually all of the postcards have been exchanged, I just wanted to make a few comments.

Thanks to all of you who passed along your flattering and complimentary remarks about my contribution to the lot. In addition to making some new internet friends, it was great reconnecting with some old ones from another time and another cyberspace.

I want to say that is simply amazing how much photo talent is out there. The varied way each of you sees things as well as the plethora of subject matter and equipment boggles this aged mind.

Can't wait for the next round.

Happy, happy to all!

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #83 on:** December 29, 2009, 07:02:08 PM »

Thanking everyone who has offered some ideas about "keeping" the postcards..I really think I will make a hugh collage with those I have received..my daughter is an expert at this so will ask for her help..should make a grand statement with regards the collection of talents here!

vicky slater · « **Reply #84 on:** December 31, 2009, 12:22:22 PM »

piet, that looks grand.
i might have to do the same, tho i want to be able to see the back too :)

and more thanks to damion, chricel, mike and the poster of the 'boy's room' :)

I'm always happy to do this again, it's been fun!

mikeg · « **Reply #85 on:** January 01, 2010, 04:46:55 PM »

Many thanks to everyone who took part in the exchange. I've really enjoyed receiving and sending the cards.

Best regards

Friends:

This post card exchange was a lot of fun. I've enjoyed each and every card and am amazed at the breadth of talent and creativity shown.

I was lucky enough a few years ago, to find a large lot of frames with double panes of glass allowing images to be viewed from both sides.
I've framed the post cards and have them around the house mixed in with our eclectic art collection. It's fun to stop and look at your images and bask in the warm glow of such an amazing group of artists.

I look forward to doing this again at some point.

With warm regards,

Steven

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #93 on:** January 20, 2010, 11:36:56 AM »

Team, I've let this slip very, very badly and haven't yet posted my cards. I had them printed in early December and have been carrying them around with me ever since. I have addressed half of them, but am just not getting my act together on the rest. Will endeavour to shape up and get this done this week.

Apologies.

mart · « **Reply #94 on:** January 20, 2010, 03:54:21 PM »

Promises, promises!!!

Whenever I get yours, Ed, I know it'll crown the whole effort.

Hey, been a long time since our tc days.

Hey, been a long time since our tc days.

It has indeed...although I'm still a newcomer to the TC scene compared to yourself...I seem to remember that you were the person who suggested toycamera.com as the domain name when the original Great Lakes guys moved over to let in the new management.

Anyway, you're right to be cynical about my efforts to get the postcards out of the door & across the Atlantic, but I will do my best.

mart · « **Reply #96 on:** January 20, 2010, 10:13:30 PM »

Great memory, Ed, re my connection to the tc domain name.

The "promises, promises" was just a leg pull as you Brits say, or at least so says Hitch.

mikeg · « **Reply #97 on:** February 13, 2010, 04:00:45 PM »

Thanks to Ed for an excellent card of Cornish tin mine.

Cheers

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #98 on:** February 13, 2010, 05:04:59 PM »

No worries, Mike. Sorry the cards have been so late in coming from me. All the UK ones have been sent. The ones for the rest of the world have been printed, written on, addressed & even had Air Mail stickers stuck on...I just haven't made it to the Post Office yet to buy the required stamps.

Well, you are numerous steps ahead of me. I still haven't even decided which pic I'm going to print, let alone gone to the darkroom, put the neg in the enlarger, mixed up the chemistry, done a test strip etc etc...

In my defence, it's been a helluva hectic few months. I'm still pretty busy but have decided that, no matter what, I'm going into the darkroom for a couple of hours next week to do my bit for the postcard exchange.
