Postcard Exchange Round 18 Comments and Feedback

[sly]

Nanette, I sent my months ago as well - brown-toned photo of a man with a speed graphic dressed in WW2 army gear. I've got spares, so let me know and I'll send another off

 

[mooseontheloose]

Nanette -- mine was sent near the beginning of the round -- and I think you commented on it as well...but let me know if you don't have it and I'll send you another.

Hi Rachelle,
Just gone back through the posts - I did get yours, so it must be somewhere in the apartment. Had a huge cleanup after NY and I can't seem to find several things (postcards are the MOST important of those), so I'll pull the place to pieces later this week to find it.

Nanette, I went back through the posts too, and you posted that you'd recieved mine on Dec. 2nd.

Just gone over the posts too Sly.
Apologies to all, only missing the following:

• Rob Skeoch
• David Bram
• Erik
• Lynda
• Roger Bulcock
• Roger Thoms

Think my partner got the cleaning bug and piled several somewhere "safe". Now I just need to work out where "safe" is!

I got the bonus card from rtbadman today. Some funny post office guy had put an EAN code sticker onto the lower front portion of the card but luckily it was easy to remove. A great photo, liked it a lot! I hope the envelope with yours is going to land in a mailbox near you soon.

 

[Roger Thoms]

Jerevan, Glad to hear the card made it to Sweden, seems pretty fast. I'll keep my I out for yours. Yeah I've noticed that the post office has a hard time recognizing fine art, and there fore cannot treat it appropriately. Luckily the stickers seem to come of without any trouble.

I got Bennett's postcard sometime a week or so ago. Thought it was from Mexico at tfirst glance. Great print of the Redemption Renewal center.

Still waiting on about 10 cards I think.

I just found a bunch of cards in a pile in my other room from moving that never got sent, so apologies on that one. I'll get them out on the next snow free day I can get to the post office. So that should make 3 I haven't gotten, David B, Lynda, and Eric Mac, unless those are in a pile somewhere too.

Cool, I'll look for your card and when it arrive I'll remove from my deadbeat list.

Finallly out!

My cards finally went out last week, so take me off the deadbeat list when you get yours. Many thanks for all the cards. I'll post a list of all I've received soon.

Jerevan, I got your two cards a couple of days ago, thank you so much. Wow both very nice shots. I'll have to look through my archives and see if I have another card to send.

Roger

 

[Jerevan]

Thanks a lot, Roger! Good to hear you liked them.

Received bmccarthy007's card last week, and a very touching story regarding this image. Please accept my sympathy for such a devastating loss. Well done and a fitting tribute to your wife's family.

Regards,
Darwin

I received Roger Bulcock's card today,well worth the wait. As some regulars may have noticed I'm partial to the odd tree photo and Roger's simple composition of a birch trunk against an out of focus background looks great. The same model of camera and film that I used for this round's photo as well :0)

 

[paul_c5x4]

Got Roger Bulcock's Silver Birch today - That was the last one to make the full set for round 18.

(Thanks Roger).

 

[mooseontheloose]

Received Brian McCarthy's postcard today -- a lovely tribute to his wife's family.

 

[Laurent]

I received Roger Bulcock's birch tree today. Very simple and effective view !

 

[mike c]

I all so received Roger's post card,like the way the out of focus background strengthens the the focus on the tree.

[Christopher Walrath]

Not to point out the late bloomer or anything. But I got Roger's beautiful Birch trunk as well. I have always been fascinated with the peeling of a birch and it is captured very well in this print.

 

[sage]

Ok, the rest of mine are in the mail, so everyone should get it soon

I’ve been extremely remiss in that I haven’t commented about any of the fine cards I’ve received in this round. As penance, I give you the following:

Ben Taylor - Brass Lions-great angle, and nice contrast in tone
BirgerA - Stuffed Animals - the eyes are following me
Black Dog - In a Silent Way-like the shape, and love the textures
bmccarthy007 - Broken but not shattered-a fitting tribute. Brian, I’m sorry for your loss
Christopher Walrath - Sunset & Storm-great sunset and a fortuitous detour
crispinuk - Glen Coe Plantation-a study in trees and textures - something I’m particularly fond of
Denis K - Badlands Valley-an impressive shot with wonderfully subtle colour
drpsilver - Barn, Curry Lane, Napa-intriguing
karl burke - Fiona’s Eye-can I say "eye catching"? -beautiful print too
kraker - Kitchen 1-always like these "found" images-the mundane can be interesting
lorirfrommontana - Jeepster Commando-nice Jeep Lori, and well pinted
markrewald - Colorado Capital Building-another very good use of IR sensitive film-there is something wonderfully political about the dark capital building surrounded by brilliance
MattKing - Overpass-I always send one to myself
Mick Fagan - Trail Bike-the bike and rider in the foreground is great, but the other rider watching makes this for me
mike c - So. Cal Sleigh Bells-so much detail and texture in a small print
mooseontheloose - The Golden Pavillion-beautiful image, Rachelle, and wonderful use of HIE
OMU - La Maccina-really like the textures on the car and the adjacent clothing
ozphoto - Camrick Hill-very nice print of a tranquil scene
polyglot - Lesmurdie Falls II-a great transition from hard rocks to mist
Rob Skeoch - Dusty Bikes in the Alley-great image of old bikes
rst - Dances - Diaper on Light Table-wins award for "best photographic use of a diaper" - and a pinhole image as well
rtbadman - Navajo Reservation-really like the feeling of "alone"
sage - barbershop-interesting way to separate forground and background
sly - Speed Graphic-like finding a long lost treasure-love the colour
Tim Gray - Tsukiji tuna-nice and tasty!-great way to initiate a new darkroom
tocalosh - Sadhu (Hindu holy man)-mysterious
wazza - Notre-Dame stairwell-wonderfully sculpted light

I look forward to the 6 cards that are yet to come from:

(david b, Eric Mac, KingJon, Lynda, Roger Bulcock, rwyoung)

Thanks to everyone for their patience and for participating.

Matt

Just a reminder to those who did not send cards by mid-December -- I did send a pm to you back then with my new address in Manitoba, so if you've sent it to the old one in Kamloops, I will probably not get it, as the people who were forwarding my mail have now moved (I was sharing a house, so I couldn't use the old fashioned postal system to do it for me) and, for obvious reasons, are no longer doing so.

Roger Thom's Navajo Reservation arrived today.

 

[lorirfrommontana]

I thought I'd gotten all my postcards from this round but I just received Rogers birch tree. Well, I recounted and that makes 20 received. I think that is all I sent out!
