I think that since I shoot Ilford primarily, and print on Ilford paper.. I will send one to Ilford too.

I should be posting cards on Wednesday, though they will actually be envelopes since about half of mine are International.

Envelope them if you like. I sent mine last round regular old single weight VC/RC through the post and theyturned out alright.

I . . . Am printing . . . POSTCARDS! Mwah-hah-hah!

lorirfrommontana · Oct 5, 2009

I'm going to get busy with mine also. I have some new negatives to print and some of them look pretty good. Looking forward to this new round.
Lori

c.w. · Oct 5, 2009

Printed them yesterday, posted them today, so they should go out tomorrow. I'm not sure how people do 60+ and still have the will to live.

Oh, and don't be too offended if there's a bad joke on the back of yours.

photomem · Oct 5, 2009

I got 5 printed tonight, along with my school work. If someone wants to tape their postcard to an enlarger and send it to me, I would be most appreciative.

bwakel · Oct 7, 2009

Got mine in the post today so they should be arriving soon!

Laurent · Oct 7, 2009

I printed half of mine today... feels very good, and also very effective in terms of learning curve and darkroom process !!!

Christopher Walrath · Oct 7, 2009

Printed mine on Monday. Nearly halfway through addressing them.

polyglot · Oct 7, 2009

5 down, 47 to go...

Edit: no, they're not all the same image! Gonna be 11 batches of 5 copies I think.

meltronic · Oct 8, 2009

postcards away!

I dropped them all in the mail over the past three days. Exciting!!

crispinuk · Oct 8, 2009

The first card of the round arrived today, Bwakel's Nordic waterfall.
A fantastic sense of scale, I get vertigo just looking at it.

Laurent · Oct 9, 2009

Got them all printed, I expect to address and send them by the end of the week-end. It's been a great opportunity to question my process, learn about consistency in processing (I started to use a timer for development so that I can have them all developped the same).

drpsilver · Oct 10, 2009

09 Oct 2009

My cards are printed, labeled and awaiting postage. They should be in the mail by mid-week next.

Regards,
Darwin

photomem · Oct 10, 2009

Mine are printed, enveloped, and labeled. Should be posted tomorrow, Monday at the latest.

Laurent · Oct 10, 2009

I dropped mine in the mail yesterday.

photomem · Oct 10, 2009

Postcards Away! They may be a bit slow though, Monday is a postal holiday in the US.

Printed. Addressed. This time I'll send a few per week. First batch goes out Tuesday.

OMU · Oct 11, 2009

The party has started.
Got my first postcard yesterday. From Bwakel.
He has visited Norway and sends a photo from Vettisfossen. By using a 15 mm he has captured the valley and the scenery around the waterfall. Beautiful.

On Friday I printed my postcard. Now they are addressed and ready to go by the postman tomorrow.

A quick message to all on my list - just got back from a shoot and realised I've given incorrect address details.
Have sent a PM to Ruediger who I'm sure will pass on the correction very soon.
To those who may have already posted - don't worry, it will get here, just might take a little longer than we'd like.

Looking forward to them filling my mailbox!!

rst · Oct 11, 2009

While sending out the address change I found that user "Dr. Louie" is no longer a member on APUG.

Just to let you know.

Cheers
Rüdiger

Christopher Walrath · Oct 11, 2009

Dr. Louie is now PASTO. I found that out in the Blind Print Exchange.

LOUIE. PM Rudy for sure, will ya.
