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 first 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 second 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 36
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:
Print and Send: Januara to March 2021
Rest and Relaxation: April 2021

Have fun with BPX!

Printed mine last week and posted them this morning.
They should arrive at their destination within 8 to 10 days.
I hope the recipient will enjoy them!

... and it made it today in France!

Thanks, Sebastiaan, the images are very good, and the prints suit them well with their low contrast to go with foggy days, and the grain adds to this.

I received 3 very nice prints, and the accompanying letter.

I 'm not sure I'd try to remove the white spots around the pipe, as -as you said- they are leaves and not defects.

Oh, and your french writing is also pretty good, especially if you learned it some years ago (I'd love to speak Dutch that well, but except for a few words I do not). I'm still astonished how well other countries' people speak many languages where the French tend to speak only one.

Wow, that's quick! Glad you like the prints!
And I must admit, I had to use a dictionary for some words, as I obviously didn't know (or remember) all of the French words!

OMG!
Now this is a first for me and I can't believe it, but I seem to be the first to announce that my offering went into the post yesterday, Wednesday 20/01/21.
I'm now looking for a 'putting ones feet up to relax' emoji.

Wow! And double wow! I received halfaman's spectacular print of the Ungino mountain and valley below. Spectacular shot, complete with a small person to give perspective to the shot. Also, color film home developed and darkroom printed. Indeed, wow. And double wow because it was posted Monday (see two posts above) and received in Ohio a mere two days later. Amazing!

Thanks, Juan Carlos, this is truly a gem!

Dear fellow photographers, please forgive me for I have sinned.....

Due to all sorts of personal stuff I have completely neglected to acknowledge receiving Uwe's beautiful prints of a sunflower in his garden and a statue in a cementary. All together with a detailed handwritten account of the location, the film and camera/lens used as well as the printing and paper. I especially love the use of Foma film as it is my own personal favourite brand too.

Just holding such prints whilst seeing (not just looking at) them today has motivated me to post this and get out of my lockdown-induced photographic slump and start on creating my contribution to this wonderful BPX36 group.

Stay tuned .... I'll be back soon

Stay sane, stay negative!
