I'll draw this to @George Nova Scotia 's attention - so he can send out corrections.
I've edited part of it out - we try not to share addresses publicly here.
Enjoy the exchange!

Thanks Matt, and yes an address change is needed.

Oh jeez, I haven't even started, weather has been to nice.

Got the first card of PCX 60 today, rrrgcy's "Frank Gehry Grey". A cool shot of the Disney building designed by Gehry. He has a style, and it is cool. There is a Gehry building in Cleveland on the campus of Case Western Reserve University. It is also very cool. And this one was taken on a Retina IIIc, also very cool. Thanks Robert!

I enlarged all my cards starting about 5am a few days ago. At about 2 seconds an exposure, exposed three in a row, develop and fix, it didn't take very long. 5 different photos this time. The weather doesn't matter much that early.

If I slept past six, I'd probably assume I was not alive.

Mines are in the post too!

@Rrrgcy I received my first card yesterday "Coral Gables White Hot" very nice composition and printing. Definitely looks HOT! I've got to get into my darkroom, weather has turned cold and rainy, that will help

 

[koraks]

Oh jeez, I haven't even started,

Yikes, me neither...need to bump this up on my to-do list!

 

[krnow]

All posted yesterday.

 

[Tel]

All 15 printed and posted!

 

[mshchem]

I haven't started to print. A friend dropped off 19 rolls of color negative film for me to process, free of course . I don't have to print or scan them, so there is that!

 

[Ajven]

So this morning I put my cards in the mailbox. I haven't sent a postcard in a long time and I'm quite curious how long it will take for them to get to different places around the world.

 

[negativefunk]

I got my first from this exchange and it's from @krnow
I was not sure to acknowledge it already as I might ruin the surprise to the others but can't really avoid it - it's a precious cyanotype. I love the glossy finish and the paper used. I just started dabbling with them but cannot accomplish anything close in richness of the blues or anything else really
thanks!

 

[Michael Howard]

I've had some major plumbing problems in my darkroom/bathroom the last few weeks. All fixed now and ready to start printing once my overstretched muscles allow me to. I now have a much better setup for my print washer, at least.

 

[KitosLAB]

I wanted to show the place where the postcards were sent. This is my post office. The bicycle belongs to the postman)))

That would make for a great postcard . Thanks for sharing.

 

[koraks]

Absolutely! great shot

My sentiments mirror @negativefunk -- I too received the largest postcard yet from @krnow, also a cyanotype, also far better than I've managed to do. And it's fitting since it's a leaf, which I am currently a little focused on (see current Monthly Shooting Assignment). It's a very nice print - thanks a lot.

Thank you very much for your kind words and I’m glad that you like the print. I’ve never printed anything as small as I usually work on a much larger scale - the original of that image is 60cm x 84cm. I am really looking forward to receiving all the cards on their way!
