I am just in the process of sending an address change for Jake Williams. I think the address on your list is the address of his parents (Jake?). So if cards are already sent, they will reach him a bit indirect. But who ever has Jake on the list please change the address.

Sorry for that.

read the post above after sending another card to him. So his parents get one extra. Fine! My cards are sent today. Enjoy

Kodak and Ilford even if we're not using either of their products? I'll feel slightly bad sullying Simon's postcard board so he can't say it's all done on ilford postcard paper (then again, when I visited there was a cyanotype there too so it'd not be the first...)

Hi Greg,

I do not know. I have not heard back from him since we started round 11. He does not respond to emails nor to PMs.

Actually Simon should have two cyanotypes on Stonehenge paper, two Polaroid transfers on Arches paper, two colour prints on Kodak paper and one instant print on Fuji paper at least since I have been participating in this exchange and sending him postcards.

ilford, of course

A bunch of my prints for this round were printed on Ilfobrom that expired in 1971. I suspect Simon Galley might not have been too active in Ilford when that paper was made, but of course I'll send him the print.

Not to knock the present Ilford system, but I knew the expiry date because there was a little price sticker like label that said 'expired sept 1971' on the package. Ah, the good old days. Not like today when we look for patterns in scattered chicken bones tossed onto the box to figure out when your current paper stock is due to expire.

And Mary Jane gets one too, because my card this round is a goodbye send eulogy to HIE.

And Randy stays in the loop for getting this exchange happening to the level it has built to today.

Hats off to rst for keeping this round ticking.

All of my cards are in the mail.

 

[Buster6X6]

Thanks Ruediger I was just wandering about Randy maybe he will chime in when he is available.
My cards are in the mail, let the fun begin.

Cheers Greg

 

[BWKate]

Thanks Mike for reminding me about my beloved HIE!!! I think maybe I will choose an infrared image for this round. I call this year, "The Year Of Infrared", as it's our last gasp at the stuff. Luckily I managed to buy what I could find back east thanks to Art!

Big Thanks to Ruediger for keeping the exchange going!!!

 

[Black Dog]

Think I might too.....think I have some 5x4 Kodak IR negs luring somewhere!

Hey, bang it made at our door and the first two cards arrived. And very nice ones for sure. Thanks to Mike and Dietmar. This exchange starts already very promising.

Thanks and ciao

I received Dietmars card today as well. I really appreciate it.

Can it be considered cheating having the cards ready when you get the adresses, it puts the rest of us in bad light...

Hehe, you mean I should not post the number of participants during sign up, so that nobody knows the amount of cards to print before I send out the address data

My first card arrived today. Thanks to Warren. Mine are heading out today. Looking forward to receiving the rest of my group.

Cheers,

[BirgerA]

Received Mike Wilde's HIE image today. Thanks.

Got Dietmar's horse field today. What format did you shoot it in? Real lovely details.

Also got Mike's, love the negative space.

 

[erikg]

Got my first two today: Dietmar's horses (ponies?). Beautiful print and I love the way you have arranged all of the elements around the frame. I also got Mike's IR shot. Thanks for a bit of Canada long gone. Unusual to see a light sky with IR, interesting. Thanks for the old paper, the surface takes me back, as does the price info. You must have taken good care of this paper over the years. Your text reminds one of what makes photography so interesting and unique: it has this direct connection to what is no longer around, sometimes that is all we now have. Thanks, I look forward to another great round of pics.

 

[hal9000]

I sent out all mine today and when I got back from the post office I had my first card in my mail box from Buster6x6 - very nice work!

 

[Dietmar Wolf]

Glad you like my print. It was shot with 35mm HP5+. Printed full format. (there was a url link here which no longer exists)

 

[BirgerA]

Received Buster6x6s detailed image of a Barn Find. Lots of interesting detail. I wonder, how would that be if you made a really large print of the negative?
