have not been on in a while -

i got 3 beautiful cards during the week . . .

Sandeha - wonderful double exposure

Piet - bedankt voor de mooie kaart! love the transfer, something I have yet to try.
Miles - great b+w card, i like your innovation - works well.

thanks so far guys - love the script on the card telling how and where the images were taken.

I have been shooting some colour and b+w over the last 2 weeks so hope to develop the b+w today and probably not going to get the colour done for a week or so.

...so the DIY cards most likely will be b+w and sent out next week.

great idea to wrangle this together - again - thanks becky!

Miles · « **Reply #101 on:** June 16, 2012, 10:28:02 AM »

Top, got Becky's and Paul's now too. To go with Sandeha's and Piet's.

Cool variations on a theme.

Sandeha Lynch · « **Reply #102 on:** June 16, 2012, 01:10:09 PM »

Received from Becky. Delightful !!

Phil Bebbington · « **Reply #103 on:** June 16, 2012, 02:24:30 PM »

Three on the same day!

Piet, Miles and Paul - thank you.

Harvey · « **Reply #104 on:** June 16, 2012, 04:30:34 PM »

Mine are now at the mercy of the mail. I've got a couple of spares thanks to Moo's minimum quantities so if anyone has got a small crack they need to cover let me know

Harvey

Received a very nice one from Miles!
It's one of my favorite photos too!
Love it!

tkmedia · « **Reply #106 on:** June 17, 2012, 05:49:01 AM »

All sent out, ran out of paper and chem... Hopefully they will arrive in good shape. Much harder to do on small postcard size as I needed more precision, as I was cutted up larger sheets of paper, some a bits skewed. Would have been easier and constant if buy already made sized, but what fun will that be? Looks like I was on the UK list... was expecting more from other countries.

Britt Aximon · « **Reply #107 on:** June 18, 2012, 11:03:07 AM »

And today I got my first postcard. Finding it's way all the way from Canada to Sweden. Thank you Francois, the card is beautiful! And in good shape as well, so the canadian postal service must have been in a good mood.

Urban Hafner · « **Reply #108 on:** June 18, 2012, 01:56:59 PM »

And number two is from Becky! Thank you. You've really found a nice camera & film combination.

I've also sent out all my cards today.

Urban

Wow, that was fast!
It's always great news to know the card arrived in one piece!

Miles · « **Reply #110 on:** June 18, 2012, 05:32:26 PM »

Thanks Becky, that's not bad to to to the US of A timewise.

Japanese camera from the 60's that someone took to Cuba, that I bought and loaded with film from Germany, took back to England, developed and printed and then sent out to America.

Sorted !

chricela · « **Reply #111 on:** June 18, 2012, 06:42:55 PM »

I got my first 2!
Thanks Becky & Brit.
Love them

tkmedia · « **Reply #112 on:** June 19, 2012, 05:51:29 AM »

got a primo card from paul.

Paul Mitchell · « **Reply #113 on:** June 20, 2012, 11:29:19 AM »

Just received two excellent cards this morning from tkmedia and urbanhafner... cheers peeps!

Paul

Ordinal · « **Reply #114 on:** June 20, 2012, 01:07:07 PM »

The replacement cards came from Moo and they are exactly the same

All right, I'm just going to print stuff and stick it onto card, now.

astrobeck · « **Reply #115 on:** June 20, 2012, 01:27:49 PM »

That's unfortunate...I hope you can get a refund!

Britt Aximon · « **Reply #116 on:** June 20, 2012, 06:25:05 PM »

Got three more now. From Becky, Harvey and Urban Hafner. Beautiful, I love them! This is such a wonderful thing, to swap postcards.

Thank you all!

Ordinal · « **Reply #117 on:** June 20, 2012, 06:32:07 PM »

I can't fault their customer service to be honest - they sent a refund as soon as I asked for it, no messing about. I'll happily use them in the future for, say, business cards (I love their little half-size ones) or stickers. Maybe their machines are having a bad week.

Miles · « **Reply #118 on:** June 20, 2012, 08:09:16 PM »

Got two more topper cards today, Urban's Hawkeye and TK's Cyanotype, excellent both.

Thank You

Sandeha Lynch · « **Reply #119 on:** June 20, 2012, 08:20:33 PM »

Now there's a coincidence, Miles. I also received cards from TK and Urban. Great stuff.

I am not thinking about awarding points on this, but the cyanotype of Christy has huge impact.

tkmedia · « **Reply #120 on:** June 20, 2012, 11:30:30 PM »

Points? I dont need points... the camera your working on will be good enough!

astrobeck · « **Reply #121 on:** June 21, 2012, 12:37:21 AM »

amazing cards from Sandeha, Tony and Paul M.
Love them all!
Incredible talent and printing styles so far.

Thanks!!!

Alan · « **Reply #122 on:** June 21, 2012, 09:19:53 AM »

3 really lovely cards received from Becky, Paul and urban!

thanks guys and gals!

pdewolff · « **Reply #123 on:** June 21, 2012, 11:50:06 AM »

So far already 6 postcards that make me happy, thanks Tony, Sandeha, Paul, Urban, Miles and Becky and yes Becky the postmen did their best, the card came in perfect shape ! Thanks.

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #124 on:** June 21, 2012, 02:51:52 PM »

my postcards are all in the post!

Francois · « **Reply #125 on:** June 21, 2012, 03:46:09 PM »

I'm still wondering why mine are so slow to get to their destination...

But I got from you, Francois! The first one to arrive. Strange I'm the only one?

Francois · « **Reply #127 on:** June 21, 2012, 04:37:56 PM »

Pretty much what I was thinking... and I also got yours... but not Jonas' which was mailed at about the same time if I'm not mistaken...

Harvey · « **Reply #128 on:** June 21, 2012, 07:11:14 PM »

Francois, I've just got yours too, you are so on-the pulse, very topical! thanks. Also got Becky's, again lovely, thanks.

Francois · « **Reply #129 on:** June 21, 2012, 09:02:44 PM »

Yeah! one more came to port safe and sound!

astrobeck · « **Reply #130 on:** June 21, 2012, 10:23:55 PM »

Jackpot day!
Three cards.
Francois' totally rocking, get you in the Olympic groove card.
Diane's very cool pinhole with an uber cool stamp and Urban's nice B&W card with a stamp on the back nearly as big as the card.

Thanks all!
You guys are awesome!

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #131 on:** June 22, 2012, 02:47:40 PM »

Received Francois' wonderful card today..Quite appropriate I would say! A beauty!

tkmedia · « **Reply #132 on:** June 22, 2012, 11:49:36 PM »

got urban card safe but got a torn and rough looking one from diane in one of those plastic sleeves and a sorry note from the postal service. I wonder how they know where to deliver it as the address area is barely readable. Odd but it actually looks good with wear

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #133 on:** June 23, 2012, 02:37:10 PM »

so sad

would you like me to try sending another?

tkmedia · « **Reply #134 on:** June 24, 2012, 12:46:20 AM »

no additional card needed Diane.

Matt Davis · « **Reply #135 on:** June 24, 2012, 07:17:27 AM »

Just to update in the last week I got cards from
Urban, Becky, Shaun & Francois.

All great cards and arrived in one piece.

Just got mine back from MOO this week, shall be writing them ready to post tomorrow.

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #136 on:** June 25, 2012, 12:23:29 AM »

Over the last fortnight, I've been on the receiving end of a steady stream of bleedin' lovely cards from all over the world. Thanks everyone. I really need to get my act together and send mine out. Well, get it printed first....after working out which one I am going to use....and then finding out who I have to send them to.

Sorry!! I've not exactly been on top of it this time.

jojonas~ · « **Reply #137 on:** June 25, 2012, 11:40:09 AM »

I've got some lovely cards here now~ some even without skidmarks on the front!! so happy

I ordered mine this weekend. sorry, no darkroom prints this time folks

should be on their way soon.

Late Developer · « **Reply #138 on:** June 25, 2012, 07:55:45 PM »

It's been a bit manic at work - and not in a good way, unfortunately

Anyway, the shot is chosen and Moo are in the process of printing them. I got an update saying that they anticipate they should be with me 29/06. Hopefully, I'll have a better experience than Ordinal. First time I've ordered anything from them. Easy enough process but I'll reserve judgement until they arrive.

Off to Manchester for 3 days from tomorrow - so it'll be quiet from me until weekend. I've received some stunning cards so far from Britt, Shaun (Harvey), Becky, Urbanhafner and Francois. I'll be delighted if mine get anywhere remotely near that level of quality....

Matt Davis · « **Reply #139 on:** June 25, 2012, 08:53:41 PM »

Okay, cards stamped and now posted, it's out of my hands now, hope they all get there in one piece.

Paul Mitchell · « **Reply #140 on:** June 26, 2012, 11:13:26 AM »

Received my lurverly card from Diane this morning, another cracking image to add to the one's already received.

Paul

LT · « **Reply #141 on:** June 26, 2012, 11:15:07 AM »

thanks for all the cards so far everyone. Mine are going to be very late I'm afraid. I will send them, but I can't say when. Apologies.

L.

Francois · « **Reply #142 on:** June 26, 2012, 02:37:04 PM »

Better late than never!

Francois · « **Reply #143 on:** June 26, 2012, 10:04:11 PM »

OK! They're finally starting to pour in!

I got a very lovely laundromat from Urban and some nice Lunarias from Harvey!

All in pristine condition! They probably didn't get to go through the sorting machine that's equipped with the ever famous mail smashing robot

Sandeha Lynch · « **Reply #144 on:** June 27, 2012, 08:35:08 AM »

Diane, yours arrived yesterday. Spooky but smiley.

jojonas~ · « **Reply #145 on:** June 27, 2012, 08:52:23 PM »

postcards sent! apparently I took the smaller size, I was a little surprised when I recieved them haha

but now there's twelve cute holga shots on their way all over the globe~

Matt Davis · « **Reply #146 on:** June 27, 2012, 09:41:00 PM »

Found a lovely pinhole from Diane when I got home from work.
You lot are all so talented.

Sandeha Lynch · « **Reply #147 on:** June 27, 2012, 10:07:38 PM »

Dunno how you did that, Alan. But it's steamin' good.

Andrej K · « **Reply #148 on:** June 28, 2012, 07:20:34 AM »

Pity I have discovered this too late.. When will be the next run? Will I have to wait for next summer or is there going to be a Christmas Postcard Swap?

Urban Hafner · « **Reply #149 on:** June 28, 2012, 07:48:37 AM »

PM me your address Andrej, I have a few postcards left!
