Fairly late this time but still within the allocated time frame, I just put my contribution in the mail. It should arrive at it's destination in about a week.
As we're nearing the start of a new year, I wish you all a healthy and an inspirational 2020. Let's keep sharing our prints.

I was very pleasantly surprised to receive a nice print from Terry (tezzasmall). A nice print of a brass band in a bandstand. Taken with a Cresta, apparently a popular consumer camera in the ‘60s. Reminiscent of Sgt. Pepper and Penny Lane! Actually, I received two prints, the other being the postcard from Postcard Exchange 48. My lucky day!

Thanks for lettering me know that the prints arrived okay Mark. And I'm glad that you were 'pleasantly surprised' at the prints, as any emotion is good in my eyes.

As a side note, can anyone tell me if there is a folder on this site anywhere, where exchange pictures from the two different ones are loaded up to? It would be great to be able to see others pictures and to put a few of mine on there as well.

Reporting reception of not one, not two but a very generous THREE prints from @Canuck! They reached me in excellent condition and I surely will be reusing the sturdy envelope you chose to send them in.

And wow, they are stunning! Great subject matter, good composition, clear exposures and very nicely developed and printed. These will be my personal benchmark for the next round of BPX. The electrifying image plays nicely of the other two soothing ones.



Thanks very much @Canuck, also for the infornative letter that accompanied them.

 

[Canuck]

BSP: I was hoping it would get there nice and safe. I am happy you got them and thank you for your kind comments. Cheers!

Yesterday I found a large letter from Jake (Black Dog) in my letterbox. I was happy to find an image form the Hebrides in it (some kind of tombstone or boundary stone surrounded by wood). My wife and me will make our holiday this year in Scotland. Probably we visit the Hebrides too. You print gave us a warm feeling and a pleasant anticipation. Thank you!

I have received a very beautiful and fully mounted black and white still life print from BSP of a beetroot. Thanks a lot!

All images sent were received! And only one unsent.

 

[spijker]

My recipient hasn't received the print yet. He is not on the received list while i am on the sent list. So someone must have received the "unsent print".

You are welcome! I am glad you like it.
As this is my first time participating in this print exchange, I was not quite sure if my work would be up to the required standard. I have only been printing my own black and white photographs in the darkroom for about a year and so I am still learning a lot from this forum.

That would mean, all have been sent and one did not reach it's destination. Great state!

 

[ced]

Does that make me the non recipient of the "unsent print" I'm confused?...

 

[BSP]

Maybe it was a virtual print from a parallel universe exposed using dark energy?

 

[mfohl]

Maybe it was a virtual print from a parallel universe exposed using dark energy?

That's a matter too dark for me to understand ….

 

[ced]

With all that dark energy & matter perhaps the solar winds will blow it my way afterall...

 

[spijker]

Mystery of the unsent print resolved; there are actually 9 people on the received list, not 10, while there are 10 on the sent list. That makes 1 in transit (mine), 1 unsent and 2 not received.. No dark powers involved.

The list seems correct, the conclusion maybe a bit ahead of its time. I have not sent my print to Canuck yet. I picked up a pneumonia last day last year, so I was seriously out of order. The print is made, awaits despotting and sending. If nothing unexpected comes up again, my contribution will be on its way in the next 1-2 weeks.

 

[Canuck]

Do not worry about the print. Just get healthy!!

Happy to report from out of the blue 2 very nice large prints (11x14") taken in Egypt with his Mamiya AFDIII & 45mm Phase lens that arrived today.
The selenium toned prints on Ilford Classic FB paper showing lots of fine details, obviously a very good lens it is too.
Subjects are of Ramses II temple at Abu Simbel & the other at the female pharaoh Hatshepsut temple in the same vicinity.
Thanks so much Menno (Spijker) for your fine work it is much appreciated!

 

[spijker]

Glad to see that the prints arrived and that you like them. No curse of the pharaoh!
