2022 is here and so is a new round for the Postcard Exchange

This round might be a little different.

For the first time we will welcome digital shooters to the exchange.
The FAQ and introduction documents have not been updated but for this round any manner of capture is permitted.
Alternate methods and processes will be appreciated. Let's see what you up to.


Please sign up now and remember you can select the number of cards you want to send/receive.
Sign up runs the month of January, then you have two months to send your cards.


OK, now the standard text, but please read on:

There are links to the FAQs and an Introduction in my signature at the bottom.

As in the previous rounds, please signup by starting a conversation with me (used to be called PM) containing your full name, address (including the country - this is an international exchange) and the number of cards you are able to send or say maximum for the maximum possible number of cards. You can also choose "ALL" you will still only receive the MAX number of cards but you will receive the complete list so you can share your work with everyone if you choose.

As in the previous rounds, if you have been in the exchange for the last couple rounds and if your address is the same, you can sign on just with giving the number of cards here in the thread. No PM needed in this case.

Important! As in the previous rounds I will post lists of participants in this thread every once in a while. If you signed in (or if you think so) please come back to this thread and check if your name is on the list. If the name should be on the list but is not, then let me know. Once the address lists are sent out early in February I can not do any changes. And also check for the number of cards behind your name.

There are a couple threads with an introduction and FAQs (check the links in my sig). Just send me a PM or ask here if you have any questions.

Please read on:

As in the previous rounds, not all participants have been able to send out the cards. For whatever reasons, if you have not fulfilled your last rounds commitment, send your cards before you sign in for this round. Just be fair. (and drop a note in the last round comments to let us know you are okay)

Now for those new to the postcard exchange, here is how it all works out.

First: It is fun!

Second: When registration is over, I will prepare address lists which I will send to the participants. You will have to send a card to every address on that list and you should receive back a card from everyone on that list. So if you join in for e.g. 20 cards you will have to send 20 cards and you should receive 20 cards back.

Third: Did I mention that it is fun? Where else can you receive cards from all over the world, different styles, different methods, different papers, and more.

Long time lurker here, unfortunately can't send private messages due to not enough posts.

I'd like to be in for 12. How/where could I send my contact details?

Later edit; (where are my manners?) Thanks a bunch for doing this! :smile:

A couple notes:
1) If you are new just post Like MToma did and when I see it I'll start a conversation with you to get your details.
2) For this round I have no easy way to sort film from digital. Maybe in the future. I'm trying to learn new programming skills but this old brain is being a bit stubborn.

So please join in and see what appears in your mailbox in the coming months.

George:

This will be an interesting round. Is it your intent for Round 55 to be experimental, or the "new normal"?

I am in for the max.

I'm not sure will depend on the comments and participation.
All possibilities are open, two exchanges, all open, once a year open, maybe able select preferences (would need new software).

George:

Thank you for your prompt reply. It is good to know that "all options are open". I love this exchange because (1) it is fun, (2) I get to see other photographer's work, (3) it keeps me photographing (and all the attendant processes that follow that activity).

Regards,
Darwin

You may want to ask that participants share with you what they ended up distributing, in order to get a sense whether any uptick was due to the change in rules.

Hello,

Can I sign up for 12 please.

As a brief intro, I was an active member of Apug from about 2005-2009 and took part in most of the print exchanges and ran one of the lith print exchanges. Then we moved house and I lost my darkroom and photography took a back seat. I was wondering what had happened to Apug and was looking for a similar group who wouldn’t mind an exchange of prints printed digitally. I missed the excitement of receiving works of art in the post! I’ll try and find a film negative, but it will be printed digitally, I’m afraid.

Thanks for organising this.

Mike

Yes that will be part of the request in labeling cards and when I send out the mailing lists.
