Two cards arrived so far...the bar is raised high!

I have to get in gear...I promise, this weekend I'll shoot something worthy of putting on a post card and mailing out.

Awesome!

I've gotten two and with any luck, mine go out in the mail tomorrow.

irv_b · « **Reply #54 on:** September 25, 2016, 09:54:36 PM »

I too have received Dianes' and Jonathans' wonderful cards over the last couple of days and have spent time in the darkroom over the weekend getting mine sorted which will be posted out tomorrow.

kentish cob · « **Reply #55 on:** September 27, 2016, 10:56:54 AM »

cards printed... just got to find time to write something interesting (and legible) on them.
Hopefully will have them in the post by deadline day..!

Meanwhile, splendid cards so far received from Diane and Jonathan... thank-you both.

Nice to see the cards being displayed, gsgary... interested to learn what other folk do with them... I use them as bookmarks... a little nugget of F/W inspiration whenever I pick up a book..!

Late Developer · « **Reply #56 on:** September 28, 2016, 08:51:47 AM »

I can't find anyone who'll do a short run of square cards, so I've chosen a different photo and will be organising printing tonight / tomorrow (work permitting). Might be a few days late but I'm getting there (slowly.....)

02Pilot · « **Reply #57 on:** September 28, 2016, 07:39:05 PM »

And mine are on their way. This is my first time printing my own (inkjet), so I hope they hold up to the rigors of travel.

gsgary · « **Reply #58 on:** September 28, 2016, 07:48:54 PM »

Got 2 more cards yesterday and today, a 4x5 contact print of Canary Wharf but don't know who to thank and some lovely faded flowers from Manual Thank you mine would have gone out Saturday but while erecting a big truss roof I slipped down the ladder and jarred my back but hope I can get them sorted this weekend

Oops that'll be me

Come to think of it I now think that I didn't put my name to any that I sent

I too received the card from Manuel. It is truly stunning. Thanks very much

Adam Doe · « **Reply #62 on:** September 30, 2016, 11:57:39 PM »

The first overseas card arrived, Manuel's excellent shot!

Mine went out earlier this week, and I just got Irv-b's and Manuel's cards last night. I love postcard season!

I had cards from previous years up in my hallway for a while, but I've got an idea for a display in my office at work, so whenever I'm bored with spreadsheet work, I can simply raise my eyes to see beautiful pictures and feel better. I'll post a picture when I have it done.

Adam Doe · « **Reply #66 on:** October 01, 2016, 10:39:51 PM »

Two received today. A really cool tutone 4x5 contact print that I assume to be from Irv_b based on his previous post, the postmark and distance to his address. Also, 02Pilot's card, love the light. Thanks guys!

kentish cob · « **Reply #67 on:** October 02, 2016, 12:30:50 AM »

Cards from Manuel and Irv (assumed at first, and now confirmed) arrived earlier this week... very nice both, thanks...

Mine were entrusted to the care of royal mail a couple of days ago...

Tonys' fantasic shot and Garys stunner popped through my letter box over the last couple of days - thanks guys. I think that this so far has been a stellar postcard swap.

In complete agreement, Irv... very high standard.
More monochrome magnificence arrived yesterday from Adam and Leonore. Thanks to you both. Brilliant stuff... and humble thanks also for all your kind comments.

Well, after a bit of a circuitous route and a favour from a friend, I got mine sorted yesterday evening and they will be posted tomorrow. Apologies for my tardiness but, hopefully, better late than never.

I've received a few this week but haven't yet had time to sit and have a proper look at them and say thank you properly. I will do so later today.

rpavich · « **Reply #82 on:** October 11, 2016, 11:04:49 AM »

I just wanted to thank all those who sent cards to me, they were awesome! So many different papers, looks, and styles but all really interesting!

It really raises the bar for me for next time for sure. Now I know how high to aim.

Late Developer · « **Reply #83 on:** October 11, 2016, 11:24:17 AM »

All mine were posted yesterday so, hopefully, you should receive them very shortly.

thatguychad · « **Reply #84 on:** October 12, 2016, 10:34:16 AM »

Apologies for not making the deadline, but mine are on the way to the printers by the end of the week.

Jack Johnson · « **Reply #85 on:** October 15, 2016, 07:07:23 AM »

I'm in the same boat. I expect to have mine to the printer tomorrow.

Should we start a pool for the last postcard to arrive?

Late Developer · « **Reply #86 on:** October 15, 2016, 11:57:11 AM »

Wow; twelve received so far (as of midday on 15th Oct). In no particular order of arrival or preference, huge thanks to all for the following;

1. Manuel's wonderful Type55 of fading sunflowers
2. Kentish Cob's moody derelict pier head at Herne Bay
3. O2 Pilot's gorgeous night-time steps
4. Gary's impeccable study of a horse and rider outside a posh house
5. Leonore's fabulously modern-art public still-life study
6. Adam Doe's beautifully retro Pinball arcade
7. Jonathan Uren's superb vision of the Golden Gate Bridge
8. Bob Pavich's excellent ancient barn
9. Peter Stoel's amazing abstract of a rescued engine
10. A tremendous contact print of Rotherhithe swing bridge by an un-named artist
11. Diane's stonkingly brilliant pinhole of a very wonky looking house
12. A very dark and brooding stand of trees by another un-named artist (might have come from Norway - not sure)

(All mono as well....)

Thursday and Friday brought Paul 's and Andrej's cards then today when I return from work Aksel and Peters' are brightening the letter rack waiting for me. Each of the cards are so good that I'm glad we don't have to choose a favourite

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #88 on:** October 15, 2016, 06:58:14 PM »

I could not possibly pick a favorite! All cards received (11) are exceptional. Thank you again to all who participated! Eager for the last few to arrive!

kentish cob · « **Reply #89 on:** October 16, 2016, 12:47:28 PM »

Received this past week, making 11 in total so far, Bob's barn, Gary's Chatsworth gates, Peter's engine, Aksel's brooding treeline, and the first colour of the season in Paul's St Pauls...
Splendid, every one.... Thanks to you all.

Adam Doe · « **Reply #90 on:** October 19, 2016, 02:36:13 AM »

An international photo postcard bonanza today. Three cards arrived. Aksel's from Norway, Paul's from England and Peter's from The Netherlands. All really wonderful images. That makes twelve cards received. I'm looking forward to receiving the final two so I can take them all to work and hang them up.

Hi Aksel,
It's a great card - so thank you. I didn't see a note but, to be honest, I was more fixated with the photo. I don't think I kept the envelope....

Aksel · « **Reply #93 on:** October 20, 2016, 12:15:10 PM »

Nine nice variations of wonderful postcards arrived here so far! Many thanks to all of you, they will end up on the wall of the entrance hall as a source of inspiration

I wish I could mention them all but I'll just say that the cards I received were not only beautiful and interesting but varied and creative. It was an inspiration to see them. I taped them together in a collage and taped them to my darkroom door!
