Dear photographers,

My tiny pocket computer mixed again all of us. Everybody should have a got message from me with a pair of addresses. The second block contains your own address as given to me. Please, make certain that your own address is correct. PM me as soon as possible if a correction is needed to YOUR address.

The first block contains the address of your partner: You have to send your print(s) to there. Please wait a few days before sending anything to allow time for corrections. Make sure you mark your box with your name and

BPX 34
on it.

If you are unable to complete your assignment, it is understandable - life often gets in a way of our hobbies. However, it would be very helpful if you let me know so that I could change the assignment to somebody else.

If somethings is or seems to be wrong please PM me.

Our timeline:

I put my contribution in the mail today. I was able to combine it with essential purchases in the same building.

I have confinement restriction in my coutry at least until April 14th. Honestly I don't know if I am going to be able to fulfill.

piu58 · Apr 7, 2020

All over the world we have these restrictions. I extend this round until most of our life gets normal again.

Hi Mark (mfohl), thanks for your print, very nice pinhole shot/print, I'm a bit jealous somehow I never like my own pinhole shots!
My apologies for giving feedback so late, for a while I 'quarantined' my mail and totally forgot about it.

Glad you got it, Gijsbert. For some reason, there have always been issues sending things to Canada. It's always taken longer than I thought.

Yesterday I received two beautiful prints from Menno Spijker. These are the most beautiful photograph I ever got form a BPX exchange. My wife enjoyed them too. Many thanks!

spijker · Apr 18, 2020

I'm glad that you like the prints. It took me a bit more effort this time with the toning but I was also pleased with the final results. I've uploaded them to the gallery;

Good to here they arrived okay.

I'm quite surprised by how little the postal services seem to have been disrupted at this time...

I just learned this morning when I went to the post office that they are currently not accepting mail destined for Canada....I'm sending mine via Fedex! I hope it arrives safely.

It did arrive safely and undamaged on Thursday. I received a nice color (!) print from Howard. A foggy landscape with a creek and a tree bending over backwards. A nice composition with the curves of the creek and the tree. A mask overlay provided the look of a textured paper. Thanks Howard!
