And they are off!

I've added the following to the FAQ thread:

Please indicate on your card which round it is part of.

Also, it really helps if you indicate who it comes from.

Titles are nice, and make it easier to comment.

And if your handwriting is as bad as mine ....

I certainly won't! It's even closer to Holland than New Zealand.

BTW: Did you know that "New Zealand" was named after the province of "Zeeland" overhere in The Netherlands?
Abel Tasman, a Dutch explorer, was the first European to sight New Zealand in 1642.

Oh, and we also visited Japan in those days, triggering "Rangaku" (= Dutch learning). In fact, there even was a Dutch enclave on Dejima. It was used by the Dutch as a trading post from 1641 until 1853.

Bert, since you also signed up for 'ALL' you should have an address in India, Australia and Thailand as well

Since you asked, I'm getting stamps today for a wide range of countries:

- rest of the world: USA (16x), Canada (8x), Japan (1x), United Kingdom (1x), Australia (1x), India (1x), New Zealand (2x), Thailand (1x),
- and yes: one card domestically: within The Netherlands.

Actually, I do -- I have even visited Abel Tasman national park on a 3-day kayaking trip (one of the best experiences of my life -- would love to go back!). Of course, the Dutch presence in Nagasaki is well documented and I visited Dejima for the first time last year.

I think it's been quite a while since we've had such a range of countries -- really looking forward to this round (just need to choose a neg or two to print!)

analoguey · Oct 5, 2014

That definitely looks like one global round!
A scheduled travel went bust or I could've upped it to a full participation too. So many stamps! Should be fun!

Can I start sending now? Can I start sending now? Can I start sending now? Can I start sending now?

Seriously, can I post my first cards already?

Bert from Holland

FM2N · Oct 8, 2014

Mine will be in the mail on Saturday. Looking forward to receiving.

George Nova Scotia · Oct 8, 2014

Yes Bert, you should be good to go, at least I hope so. No address corrections yet.

TheToadMen · Oct 11, 2014

The first batch of 10 cards from Holland are in the mail:
5x Canada
2x USA
1x Germany
1x India
1x United Kingdom.

analoguey · Oct 11, 2014

Awesome, Bert!
Looking forward to them.

Mine I have just finished shooting. Will process n print them.

Sent from Tap-a-talk

FM2N · Oct 11, 2014

Postcards in the mail.
12 international
13 CONUS
Can't wait until they start rolling in on my end
Thanks for inviting me back.

TheToadMen · Oct 12, 2014

Second batch is in the mail. I'm up to a total of 24 sent cards now:
- 7x Canada
- 10x USA
- 2x Germany
- 1x Australia
- 1x India
- 1x United Kingdom
- 1x Japan
- 1x The Netherlands (my home country).

It really is an international exchange, isn't it? I wonder how long it will take for all these cards to reach their destination.

I marked all the cards with "APUG-PCX33" to let the recipient know it is from this postcard exchange.
I'll try to send out the rest in a week or so. I'm logging who I'm sending what, since I have three different cards.
I wouldn't like to send someone the same card in a future PCX.

ajmiller · Oct 13, 2014

Sent mine off just now - bon voyage!

Yes, it has been quite a while since that happened. (Except for the card that I usually send to myself, somewhere in the middle of the stack of cards, to be sure that the mailbox is at least emptied.)

If you'll receive my card today or tomorrow, I'll know the mailbox was actually emptied and processed.

ozphoto · Oct 14, 2014

Mine are printed and shall be addressed over the weekend; I might actually get them out on time this round!!

Then I'd better first catch up commenting on round 32 postcards. All things in their correct order

TheToadMen · Oct 14, 2014

I received my first PCX card (ever) today. It came from Steelbar in Canada.
It's a very nice B&W print of a powerhouse generator made with a Mamiya 645 on FP4 in D76.

I was recently given a Mamiya 645 Pro by a profession photographer who went digital.
I shot my first roll last week (Fomapan 400) but didn't develop it yet. Looking at this fine image
I'm even more curious what my camera will bring me. I hope I'll find the time to develop
it next week, maybe in Caffenol.

Thanks, Steelbar: you're up on my darkroom wall of fame

I'll be sure to make sure Steelbar knows about your post Bert.

He and I (and a few others from our darkroom group) were shooting together that day. So ironically, Bert in the Netherlands is going to receive at least two different shots of an antique power generation installation in Stave Falls, BC, Canada.

And at least two of them will be shot on Mamiya 645 equipment.

Isn't it a small world!

Cool. Can't wait to see it. I'll save a place for you on my wall as well.
