Postcard Exchange Round 19 - Comments and Feedback

[rst]

Hi all,

Again, as in previous rounds, let us move from the sign-up thread to this thread to collect comments, feedback, being-late-announcements and my-cards-are-in-the-mail-messages.

I am looking forward to this new round and I hope that everybody will have fun.

Cheers
Ruediger

Posted wirelessly..

Where's that list for Simon, Brian and Sean again for those of us less organized?

 

[mooseontheloose]

Chris -- it's easily found if one knows where to look... ;-)

Just a little FYI for everyone in the exchange. My address is correct at the moment, but I'm warning you know that I will be moving to Japan in late March. I will let people know my new address once I have it (for the cards I will not have received at that time); however, my parents will continue to collect cards at this address for me.

Looking forward to this new round!

Thanks Tim, I have to take these addresses over into my programs template. Next round.

@ALL: There will be some address corrections. I am going to send them out tomorrow.

Cheers

[rst]

OK, the address corrections have been sent out.

If you do not have Katherine or Tim on your list, just forget about the corrections.

Let's go!

Cheers
Rüdiger

 

[gurkenprinz]

Yeah! Finally... After being quite excited for the last few months, all my cards are going in the mail today! I feel like a little kid.. maybe I am.

Cheers, gurkenprinz

 

[lorirfrommontana]

I get to go into the darkroom today! My enlarger lamps should arrive by noon. I have to go dress shopping with Mary (she is an opera singer and has a recital). But by this evening I will be free to print!!! I will probably just get my image picked out for the exchange but I should be able to get some printed! I just love this exchange! So much fun to see where all the wonderful prints come from. Thanks to all who participate!

 

[Patrick Latour]

I setup everything yesterday, with the idea to spend my today's evening in the darkroom. But this morning I woke up pretty sick (I knew that tasting my new Bromophen brew was a bad idea ).

 

[Rob Skeoch]

That's a good tip Patrick.

[lorirfrommontana]

WoooHooo! I got all my postcards printed! I'll get them out next week on payday (Friday). I just exposed them all, putting them in the paper safe (how did I live without that for a year!) then did them 4 at a time. It took 3 hours!

 

[Tim Gray]

Lori I do something similar. I have an empty box for postcard paper. I expose 10-12 at a time and put the exposed ones in the box. Once a batch is exposed, I then run them through the chemicals. As long as I don't flip on the white light during the process, everything seems to be fine.

 

[Patrick Latour]

That's a good tip Patrick.

Just woke up from a 2 days sleep. Started to feel better. My Bessa 1 is calling me to go outside... I will probaly play in the dark with my cards this week.

 

[ozphoto]

Hi to everyone on my list - address correction has been sent.
Hopefully it has beaten those of you with quick enlargers!!

 

[trotkiller]

All printed. I exposed all 50 odd at once, had to take a rest halfway thru the dev'ing as I ran out of drying space

 

[polyglot]

I've been printing for a club show'n'tell night so have been making ~5 5x7s in addition to each 12x16 as I go. 20 down now, should be finished the 50ish next week. I hope all y'all like seeing Cambodia!

 

[Roger Thoms]

Got my first card for round #19, arrived yesterday from mooseontheloose. Another awesome HIE shot of an angel. Very fitting subject for infrared. Thanks!!!

Roger

 

[mooseontheloose]

Roger -- that was really fast! I only mailed the cards on Friday... I'm happy to hear (I think) that it made it there alright -- I printed all my cards on Fujibro paper, but it's thinner than the regular postcard stock and I wasn't sure if it would withstand the rigors of the postal system.

 

[Roger Thoms]

Rachelle, Came through with flying colors, or at least flying black and whites.

Roger

 

[Laurent]

I got my first card for this exchange yesterday !!! Nice shot from Gurkenprinz of two happy nuns.

 

[Roger Thoms]

Hey just received a card from donminbox, it is a store bought card rather than a film based postcard. Very disappointing. From the message on the card I believe we have a Christian spammer in this exchange. I PM'ed donminbox earlier today regarding the card but have not received a response.

Roger

 

[Christopher Walrath]

Great start to the round. Got Rachelle's IR postcard. As usual, a real treat to see. I love your IR work.

 

[2F/2F]

Haven't started yet. Will look through my negs this weekend.

 

[johnnywalker]

You keeners are making me feel like a slackard. I won't be home from Guyana until Sunday, and leaving on the next Sunday (21st) for Vietnam. I think (hope) I have a great postcard waiting in my camera, if so I'll develop and print that before I leave, the photo gods willing. If not It will have to find another one in my vast storehouse of almost-great pictures. If it has to wait until mid-March I think that's still in the allowed time, and won't be flagellated with a wet noodle for being late?

I also received a store bought card from donmimbox with a similar sounding message that rtbadman mentioned. I was equally disappointed.

On the other hand, The card from mooseontheloose is a beautiful IR photo. I really love the ethereal nature of this print. Very well done. At first look I thought it might be a photo from a memorial on the Stanford University campus. I guess there are thousands of this style memorial around the world.

Regards,
Darwin

P.S. I hope to get into the darkroom to print next week. I have a neg selected, just need time to print.
