@Michael Teresko - Very cool to read that the negative was developed in Mytol. I like the composition of this image. The bollards give a nice rhythm to the image. The quality of the print from the Epson is great.
@mooseontheloose - You are making me jealous with all these exotic locations you visit! The print is very impressive and well set within the space of the card. The soft glow of lights really lend themselves to the time when this photo was taken. I really like the play between the subtle movement of people within the image and the tack sharp brickwork of the main building.
@Howard Earl - I really like the composition of this image. The thick grass and looming woodland make the barn feel like it's tucked away out of sight. I take it this was a contact print? The grass has an amazing texture to it, and with the barn nestled in, it's almost like looking at a ship in the sea.
@MattKing - With the heavy rains we've had where I live I certainly can relate to this image. I like this image very much! Nice to see the effect of the toning too. It really lends itself to the overall feel of the image. The subtle focus also gives an eerie feel to the image. Thanks!
@RSImages - That must have been an impressive subject to be in the presence of. The Ansco really is capable of producing some great images, but I take it that 95% of that quality comes from the user holding it! Your local sorting office must have some worn sorting machines, as the print has been roughed up a bit. That said, it all adds to the unique quality of these exchanges.
@drpsilver - When your card first reached me it was exactly the right card for the right moment, and it put a smile across my face. Really liking the stamps on the back! The difference of texture, reflection, and shadows, between each of the items makes for a great viewing experience.
@tezzasmall - As soon as I saw your card I knew who it was from. Another impressive image of an equally impressive building. The perspective on this image is really interesting, and viewing the print at different orientations brings a lot to the experience. I must take a trip there some time!
@gijsbert - This is a fun and seasonal image. The strong contrast really makes the veins of the leaf pop. There is a luminous glow about it, almost like the leaf is coming to life by being in the water. I really like the grain of HP5 here too.
@iandvaag - A very interesting image. It's awesome to see a truly self made image. The details in your letter made for great reading. The image itself reminds me album covers/photos of some black metal albums I used to listen too.
@Laurent - Thank you for doubling down on your cards. I recently found myself in the same position! It's nice to see two different interpretations together. Your notes made for good reading. I've also found most of my images with walking distance of my house (especially in these trying times). A nice stamp of Marianne to remind me of that which has been taken from the people during current events is to be returned!
@darinwc - What a lovely image. A great example of a decisive moment in photography! I very much enjoyed the note about the aged Dektol. I must give that a go myself. Though I suspect I won't get much mileage out of my RC stock.
@Luis-F-S - I really do like high contrast prints such as yours. They really have a 3D quality about them. Not sure if I should post this comment in PXC50 or not though. Very impressive to see a 8x10 reduced to a fraction of a size. I enjoy your envelopes too.
@hkbenji - After thousands of miles your print was almost lost in the last few feet. The postman must have delivered your card shortly before I returned to my house, because when I approached my door I saw an envelope blowing away down the street. I'm glad a chased after it! A very nice image, which presents an almost iconic example of local life. The two tone border is most enjoyable. The quality of your prints are great! Thank you for sending.
My thanks to all for their cards. The exchange has been, and continues to be, a great experience!
