I never thought I could output stuff that fast!
Yesterday, I printed the backs, wrote everything, dry-mounted the pictures, stamped everything.
This morning, went to the post office, put air mail stickers on, had the lady at the counter obliterate the stamps and off they go. Pickup will be at noon...

I believe everyone on list #2, with the exception of mikeg, (and I will get that one sent as soon as the system allows me to send another email)..should have Nigel's address....again, so sorry for the mix up ..I wouldn't intentionally leave anyone off the list! $:-\$

You are too fast Francois!
I just finished mounting mine, and will write and address them tomorrow.

maybe it's time to drag out the old Olivetti since my keystroke count is faster than my hand- :)printing...

With a bit of luck and a following wind, mine get printed end of this week / early next week, so aiming to post within next 7 days.

Not true!
You can't possibly suck at this. It's the spirit and excitement of getting a card that you personally made, a card that is uniquely yours that you are sharing with others. It will be admired and treasured and will make the receiver smile when they see it. It won't suck!

That is unless you put the sheet of paper in the printer upside down and wonder why all your stickers are white

What astrobeck said...no matter what it is something you made. And it will be wonderful!!

tkmedia · « **Reply #110 on:** August 12, 2011, 05:16:17 AM »

I'm away, but was told I got a postcard from Australia..

LeonY · « **Reply #111 on:** August 12, 2011, 08:09:52 AM »

The ausy one may be from me:-)

Suzi Livingstone · « **Reply #112 on:** August 12, 2011, 08:55:50 AM »

I was a bit stunned to receive my first postcard - from Skorj in Japan no less! Talk about speedy gonzales!

Beautiful image, thanks Skj

jojonas~ · « **Reply #113 on:** August 12, 2011, 12:19:10 PM »

sent mine out today. hope they'll find their way well~

btw, is people writing their screennames on their postcards?
I did and I'd like to know who I get mine from.
full names keeps them so anonymous (ironically

)

LeonY · « **Reply #114 on:** August 12, 2011, 01:05:08 PM »

Got my 1st card today from tkmedia, cheers!!!

Britt Aximon · « **Reply #115 on:** August 12, 2011, 07:18:29 PM »

I got my first today as well, from Skorj. Wonderful photo, thank you!

pdewolff · « **Reply #116 on:** August 13, 2011, 12:06:07 PM »

Late Developer · « **Reply #117 on:** August 14, 2011, 09:53:07 AM »

Got my first 2 cards today - from LeonY and TK Media - both a beautiful. Hope mine come out okay.........bit slow off the mark just now.

LT · « **Reply #118 on:** August 15, 2011, 10:50:22 AM »

I came home from hols to a card of my favourite Skj pic - thanks mate. and also a wonderful picture from Alan Lambe - thanks guys.

Alan · « **Reply #119 on:** August 15, 2011, 11:40:05 AM »

Thanks Leon, glad you like it - I got a lovely image from Skorj too.

What a great idea from Diane!

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #120 on:** August 15, 2011, 09:16:59 PM »

What's this? Postcards flooding through my door? Why?

After 2 weeks away from real life it took me an hour or so to realise that the latest FW postcard exchange was up and running. Hurrah! Quality images so far from Francois, Alan Lambe and El Skorjeriono; fair made my day.

Francois: you little camera icon took first prize (and I appreciated your comment about the bread). I know I should be looking at the picture side, but that icon is cool.

Now, I suppose I should think about getting mine printed. Don't wait in for the post just yet. It'll take a day or so.

Francois · « **Reply #121 on:** August 15, 2011, 10:44:18 PM »

Glad you liked the "stamp"

Like all postcards, they all have a unique little handwritten message for every recipient

Ever tried making bread with corn flour?

pdewolff · « **Reply #122 on:** August 17, 2011, 11:14:52 AM »

got my first one of this exchange in the postbox today, a very nice and smokey one from Becky... the postmen did not treat is very well but thats a part of the charm i guess.....

Mojave · « **Reply #123 on:** August 17, 2011, 05:49:17 PM »

Got mine from Becky too. Love it!!! Gorgeous sunset.

Sent mine all out yesterday.

I am enjoying this a lot!

tkmedia · « **Reply #124 on:** August 18, 2011, 06:14:24 AM »

LT · « **Reply #126 on:** August 18, 2011, 09:20:33 AM »

I am still, STILL developing my postcard negs. Crossing my fingers that they come out.

Francois · « **Reply #133 on:** August 18, 2011, 07:21:23 PM »

I've just received Alan's card!
Very nice boat... but you wouldn't catch me trying to float it!
Any kind of U boat made out of wood is a big no-no in my book

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #134 on:** August 18, 2011, 07:41:28 PM »

I have received cards from Francois and Alan , Skorj and Leon K...what a beautiful collective of art..Mine are at the printer and should be in hand by Monday and in the mail by Tuesday..if I write really quickley!

Alan · « **Reply #135 on:** August 18, 2011, 10:07:15 PM »

glad to hear the cards are reaching their destinations!

I got Francois' card very nice with the little camera stamp on the back too!
Becky's card also arrived as promised - she had offered an extra few cards
after she ended up with more than 10 to send - thanks becky lovely warm
image !

Francois - they were a very "weathered" group of boats all right - too long under water !

This-is-damion · « **Reply #136 on:** August 19, 2011, 08:39:18 AM »

Hi. Badly organised again. If I'm your group can you please send me the list of names and addresses. Can't find the email!

Sorry

Francois · « **Reply #137 on:** August 19, 2011, 08:16:05 PM »

Skorj - Finally got your postcard! The image is very nice, you can almost see the print getting wet in the rain.

The card got here is decent shape. Is it from a commercial inkjet printer (print on demand)?
The Postal Service from Hell managed to get the print stuck to a wet paper and the colors have run slightly creating some strange pink hues on the top... anyways, that's at least what I think happened.

Anyways, thanks for what is still a very nice image

Late Developer · « **Reply #138 on:** August 19, 2011, 08:55:19 PM »

I have 5 wonderful postcards now - thank you Otto, Astrobeck, TK Media, LeonY and Jojonas. Mine were posted to all corners of the globe yesterday lunchtime and, hopefully, should be with the intended recipients very soon.....Hope you like 'em.

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #139 on:** August 20, 2011, 12:33:07 AM »

Damion...just sent your list again...through your regular email address...let me know you got it!!

LeonY · « **Reply #140 on:** August 20, 2011, 01:03:13 AM »

I got 2 more yesturday, one from otto one from jojonas. I especialy like jojonas one. So oldschool

astrobeck · « **Reply #141 on:** August 20, 2011, 01:54:18 AM »

Great cards arrived from Mojave and Piet!
The postman treated them kindly and I love the both!

So exciting to receive such nice photos.

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #142 on:** August 20, 2011, 06:30:04 AM »

Sorry to all those on my list. I'm away for another week yet, but, I will get to it on my return. You guys are moving fast!

jojonas~ · « **Reply #143 on:** August 22, 2011, 10:07:14 AM »

leony: thanks! I quite liked the paper, subject and developer combo for that one

Karl · « **Reply #144 on:** August 22, 2011, 01:54:32 PM »

mine have gone out today to the jojonas, LeonY, Otto etc group. How long it takes depends on how far away you are - and most of you are a long way away! Thanks to all those recieved so far - a lovely thing to come home to.

Britt Aximon · « **Reply #145 on:** August 22, 2011, 06:42:53 PM »

Sadly, I don't have a darkroom or even a digi-printer, so I have to get prints done commercially. The company I use produce postcards in 6"x4" or 6"x8" and the larger size costs only slightly more - so I thought...."what the hell....!"

LT · « **Reply #149 on:** August 23, 2011, 08:54:29 AM »

I spent a couple of hours printing mine last night. they are still drying, but should be ready to post later today.
