Postcard Exchange - Round 10 Comments and Results

[reellis67]

Thanks to everyone for being part of this round! I've created this thread as a place to put comments and announcements for this round, so please post here rather than in the sign-up thread. I'll move the posts from there here in a moment. Also, congratulation to those who have already printed their cards! You all are a fair bit ahead of me this time.

A quick note about some extra Postcard recipients:

If you are interested in printing one extra card for Simon at Ilford, I've posted his mailing address in the sign-up post (there was a url link here which no longer exists). If you would be interested in printing an extra card or two, I have two people that signed up right at the deadline who would love to exchange cards with you. Just shoot me a PM or an email and I will forward your name to them and theirs to you.

Thanks!

- Randy

Just got my list, and apologies to those of you who are on it in advance. I'm currently in Japan on a 6 week photo shoot, so I won't be able to send mine out until early May.
Cheers from Down Under.

Cards coming late are always a nice surprise in the mailbox. I received the last card of round 9 while the cards of round 10 are already arriving - so I think it is important that people send their cards, no matter when. And BTW early May is still in this rounds timeframe.

My 41 postcards are printed, address labels are placed on the back, cards will be sent out right after Easter weekend.

 

[Mick Fagan]

Mine have already left, 42 with one for Simon.

Mick.

 

[Pete H]

Mine are ready to go when the post office reopens after Easter.

I tried printing the labels directly on the back. This was not an unmitigated success: the wet ink gets onto the paper feed rollers and tracks down the card :confused:

 

[jstraw]

Wow, I'm not even sure I'm going to use an existing negative. I might use one I shot yesterday and processed last night. I did order my postcard paper.

 

[Buster6X6]

All 41 cards are printed and ready to go after long weekend. If someone that is not on my list and wants a card exchanged I have three more printed. Let me know and we can exchange addresses.

Cheers Greg

You know what would be cool? To have specific galleries for each postcard exchange, print exchange, traveling portfolio, etc. They'd have to go up after the fact to avoid spoiling surprises.

Not specific to an individual postcard exchange though...

 

[BWKate]

There is a postcard exchange gallery and you can specify which round. Nobody seems to post their cards anymore. I will post my Round#9 cards now that the round is over.

 

[ingobohn]

... I tried to post my postcard of round 9 in the gallery - but there were authorization problems.

 

[reellis67]

Yeah, you have to be a subscriber I'm afraid to post in the gallery...

So my cards are on their way and should hit your mailboxes soon. I hope you will like it.

[jstraw]

I've done test prints and my postcard paper is on a Fedex truck for delivery to me today.

 

[Buster6X6]

There we go again.My first card arrived today.Thanks to Mike Wilde "Poverty Acres Abandon" arrived today with beautiful tonality and dissolute feeling of time past. Thanks Mike, well done.

Cheers Greg

Keep them coming!

 

[ingobohn]

My postcards were sent out yesterday evening.

 

[rst]

Wow, what a start, today arrived four cards one from Mike Wilde, one from Mick Fagan, one from Ingo Bohn and my own card. I will comment on the cards later en bloc, but so far very nice ...

ciao

[ingobohn]

Heard from one recipient that the stamp got lost on his card. I hate these #@! things... Last time the address labels got lost partly. *grrr*

There is always a third try, so let's hope for round 11

[Black Dog]

Sent cards today to Jeffb,Simon galley, Bob F,Tom Kershaw and Simueltordan.

 

[Pete H]

Received my first two cards today.

Beautiful tones in Mick Fagan's Billilla House and I like the compostional effect of the tree on the right.

A great fun card from Ingo Bohn - or is it Ruediger? Very creative and well executed.

Mine are in the post this evening.

 

[simulatordan]

Three 'cards arrived today

One from Rudiger or mayby Ingo which I like a lot and look forward to part 2 from Ingo or Rudiger.

Another from Mike Fagan - Stunning picture beautifully printed

and finally BlackDog's winter landscape; not a lot of the white stuff down here in Cornwall ever. Great image.

regards Daniel

 

[jstraw]

I'm taking my stack to the mail right now...
