Thanks

Hi Diane,

I've been really busy lately, so haven't spent as much time on here as I would like. But, I'm a sucker for exchanges, so please add me as well.

Cheers

Mike

just so we are all on the same page..I will be posting to each of you a list of ten names..We had 30 people sign up so that made the split easy..I talked to Leon and we together decided the best way to do this was to split the exchange into 3 groups.. I know someone had an issue with this saying they didn't want the exchange split up for reasons I won't discuss here..Leon and I had the same response..If splitting wasn't to someone's liking they are more than welcome to drop out...so this would be the time to do that..
I literally cut my list into 30 small squares each with a name and then drew names out til I had my three lists..This was the easiest and fairest way I could see to do this..
All those who signed up please let me know if you do not receive a list by Tuesday afternoon(August 2)..( my work schedule dictates when I have the time to mail everyone..

Thanks Diane,
I'll be waiting.

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #57 on:** August 01, 2011, 10:29:53 PM »

OMG..Astrobeck!! I just went through everyhting I have and your name was not there but I will get you in..Will you please pm me your address...How did I lose you??

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #58 on:** August 01, 2011, 10:32:52 PM »

goodness gracious..your quiet little "in" totally escaped me..not to worry..all is good!

Patience is a virtue you know... just like waiting for the end of that 36 exposure roll (especially if you had the smart idea of putting it in a half frame camera)

astrobeck · « **Reply #61 on:** August 02, 2011, 05:33:56 AM »

Patience is a virtue for certain...got my list!
Thanks Diane!

Diane, take your time with the addresses, I have just moved and have absolutely no idea where my postcards are. I really thought I was on top of things printing my card way ahead of time. If I can't find them, I'll have to reprint using the photo paper that I probably can't find. Oh and what about the negative. At least I know where a camera is. Isn't moving fun!!!

At least you're almost done. I'm still packing my stuff and therefore have not time for the postcard exchange or the book

Well, next year then

Two emails per hour makes this all go a bit slower than I had remembered..even with multiple recipients it will take a me a few hours today..
The list you recieve should include your own name and address...any problems please let me know asap!!

My name wasn't on the list I received....

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #66 on:** August 02, 2011, 03:19:42 PM »

astrobeck..thinking your good to go now..

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #67 on:** August 02, 2011, 04:28:15 PM »

this limit of 2 emails per hour is really slowing me down..I have about 9 more members to notify...be patient...

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #68 on:** August 02, 2011, 04:55:24 PM »

only 7 more names..to go...but it keeps saying I exceeded my 2 personal messages per hour and I only sent one..I didn't send 2...I didn't ..I didn't.....!!

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #69 on:** August 02, 2011, 06:44:45 PM »

Only 4 more names to mail the list to.....so it will be prolly about 2 hours..cause even though I only send one email it keeps saying I have sent 2..go figure....

Karl · « **Reply #70 on:** August 02, 2011, 07:16:33 PM »

Diane
Is one of those mine?! I PM'd you my address a while back
Thanks
Karl

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #71 on:** August 02, 2011, 07:41:32 PM »

Karl..I sent your list through your gmail email account..anyone I could find with an email that wasn't just associated with filmwasters I sent that way since the restrictive amount I can send in an hour would have me doing this til 4 n the morning..if you didn't get it let me know and I will send it again..My email says it was sent but that doesn't mean you got it!!

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #72 on:** August 02, 2011, 09:12:24 PM »

FINALLY!!! everyone should have received their list by now..each list had 10 or 11 names depending which list you got..I had to add a couple cause we had a couple people sign up at the end..If you didn't recieve a list or received a list without your name on it please let me know right away! some of the lists were sent to your email that was listed in your profile because it was easier than waiting all day for the filmwasters message program to allow me to send more than 2 emails an hour..

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #73 on:** August 02, 2011, 10:57:38 PM »

Diane, you are a star. Thank you for all the time and effort you have put into sorting this out.

tkmedia · « **Reply #74 on:** August 03, 2011, 05:34:20 AM »

I already posted some of them. will do a few more at the local post exchange office as I was out of $1 stamps for flat rate international post card.

vicky slater · « **Reply #75 on:** August 03, 2011, 11:22:08 AM »

Got to get choosing! The hardest part :)

jojonas~ · « **Reply #76 on:** August 03, 2011, 01:57:08 PM »

got my list

but my store made a mess out of my ilford postcard paper order. :/
anyone got a good tip from where I can buy some relatively fast and cheap for shipping within europe?

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #77 on:** August 03, 2011, 02:33:18 PM »

tkmedia...wow..now thats coming out of the gate running! I am envious!

Francois · « **Reply #78 on:** August 03, 2011, 03:04:03 PM »

Talk about fast!
I still haven't even found where I'm going to get mine made (or if I'm going to go the handmade route)!!!

LeonY · « **Reply #79 on:** August 04, 2011, 06:15:47 AM »

Thanks Diane, got mine a few days ago! Will be in the darkroom all tonight...choosing what to print!

Suzi Livingstone · « **Reply #80 on:** August 04, 2011, 10:15:47 AM »

Mine will all go out in the first week or so of September.. snowed under with stuff I'm afraid.. also don;t think I will have time to do handmade unless I can fit in a few darkroom sessions.. otherwise I'll use Moo who do lovely postcards..

so you've used them before and got satisfied? I've been pondering on those stickers for the longest of time...

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #82 on:** August 04, 2011, 12:50:32 PM »

I always use Moo - easy to do and nice quality!

Yes, I started using them for business cards and stickers and they are really excellent. I've been wanting to get some postcards done so this is a perfect opportunity to try it out..

Francois · « **Reply #84 on:** August 04, 2011, 03:41:57 PM »

I've just ordered some nice prints on Fuji Crystal Archive... going the hand made route

tkmedia · « **Reply #85 on:** August 04, 2011, 08:02:28 PM »

All sent. They were all computer dye prints, as it was simpler for instant photos reproductions or using a service. Cost more to post than to print.

astrobeck · « **Reply #86 on:** August 04, 2011, 09:08:33 PM »

Hand made from me as well...I best get to it!

LeonY · « **Reply #87 on:** August 05, 2011, 01:59:09 PM »

Just got out of the darkroom, printef all mine on old Kodak Bromeskon Silk. Will post them on Monday, cant wait to to get mine :-)

jojonas~ · « **Reply #88 on:** August 07, 2011, 11:45:05 AM »

well, ended up making 9 prints in the darkroom yesterday after all. wonder what I should do with them?

hehee~ this is so exciting! I've only been able to figure out about half of my list, who they are

Skorj · « **Reply #89 on:** August 07, 2011, 01:26:36 PM »

Off to the Post Office tomorrow! Thanks all! Skj.

LeonY · « **Reply #90 on:** August 08, 2011, 02:33:53 AM »

droped all my postcards into the postbox! enjoy

jojonas~ · « **Reply #91 on:** August 08, 2011, 05:05:13 PM »

sweet! I just got my first postcard in the mail. many thanks, tkmedia. liking the perspective in the shot

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #92 on:** August 08, 2011, 07:27:29 PM »

Man, people are moving fast! I've not even chosen an image to get printed yet - I may be a while, but, I'll get there. I promise!

Britt Aximon · « **Reply #93 on:** August 08, 2011, 08:53:46 PM »

And I have ordered my postcards, but not received them yet.
Really looking forward to what people of my list will send

You betcha! Feels like they were planning this since Xmas or something!
I just got stamps. The pictures are printed. The backs too. Now comes the part where I play with glue

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #95 on:** August 08, 2011, 09:39:29 PM »

Phil..I am right there with you..and it's not like we haven't had a long time..I just can't make up my mind!!

Mojave · « **Reply #96 on:** August 09, 2011, 02:37:49 AM »

I havent chosen a print yet either, or even how I am going to do them. Do most folks print them themselves or have somebody else print them? I was going to make them myself but Im not sure.

astrobeck · « **Reply #97 on:** August 09, 2011, 08:07:25 AM »

I've had places like Moo print them in the past, plus I've had them printed at one hour labs and then put 4x6 adhesive shipping labels on the back for addressing and a short description with the photo/camera/etc.

This time I'm having a one hour lab print them on Fuji Crystal archive paper, then I'm going to mount them on water color paper.

I have the prints made, I just need to get busy and mount them on the paper.

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #98 on:** August 09, 2011, 02:34:07 PM »

Stop the presses everyone on LIST #2... I neglected to add Nigel..so if everyone on that list could be patient for a bit Nigel will send me his address and I will get it right out to you..ASAP!! so sorry for the mix-up!!

Mojave · « **Reply #99 on:** August 09, 2011, 03:27:50 PM »

I wonder if the little Kodak photo kiosks at Target print out postcards. I might try that. I am not sure their prints are archival, and in fact, doubt they are, but they are still really nice prints. We dont have any independent one hour photo labs around here any more. $:-\$
