I received a very nice card from Dunga today, “Winter Story”. It is an abstractish photo of a small house in the forest. In the winter, with trees, fog, and sun. It really does look like a fairy tale. And there is an interesting backstory: Taken on a very cold morning with a Mamiya TLR. Definite style points for that. And style points for the C220, one of my all time favorite cameras. Thanks Claudiu, this is a keeper.

I have received Dunga's "Winter Story" this week. Such a dreamy photo and a nice story to go with it.

I received a number of postcards in the past weeks, so here goes a quick update in random order:

@Dunga 's "Winter story", and I can also relate to the shoot-develop-archive-discover many years later mechanic.

@darinwc 's photo from Point Cabrillo - now that you have your darkroom set up, it will become addictive!

@mshchem 's "F'Elon Felon", a cheeky image of a cheeky sign.

Thank you all for these!

And I forgot @jvo 's "apparition, Rodin seated". You don't mention it, but I guess this is digitally printed (although coming from a 45-year old negative)?

I've been remiss in thanking people for the postcards that have been trickling in. In no particular order:

@mshchem "Felon Felon" - A rather amusing yard sign. I can't wait until the day people finally stop talking about these two particular public figures.
@Ajven "The Hole" - The texture of the hoarfrost on the chain link fence (?) and the way the background centers most darkly inside of the foreground hole is really cool work. Great photo.
@Todd Barlow "Bronte Creek Driftwood" - I have tried and failed to photograph driftwood near me. I find it such a compelling subject, and can't seem to get a composition that works. Really fantastic shot, great form and textures.
@mfohl "Urban Mailbox" - I love the way you've taken a scene that is essentially two-dimensional, and added a huge amount of depth with shadow and texture. Got all your lines straight, too, a sign that this composition wasn't haphazard or sloppy.
@drpsilver "Tag, You're It" - Having never lived in a city that had creative or interesting graffiti, I can appreciate this one :D
@Michael Howard "Ghost Town Cafe" - I have to ask if you know what an "all day egg café" is, because I certainly don't. Was there any good food at this place?
@rduraoc Found 6x9 Negative - What a fascinating tidbit of history. Makes you think about whether the mom or dad of this random French family vacationing in the Mediterranean ever imagined that, some ~70 years from that day, a guy in Brussels would print that photo in his darkroom and mail it to another guy in Utah!
@jvo Untitled Photo from the NY/DC area - Really like the softness of this print, and the subtle "lith-like" look it gives off.
@Rob Skeoch "Grand Teton" - I haven't been to Grand Teton NP in upwards of 20 years, but I remember seeing this peak. Beautiful shot.
@darinwc Lighthouse in Point Cabrillo - Amazing what you can accomplish with a 75 year old camera. That home overlooking the lighthouse seems like a really lovely place to settle down.

Thank you all!

Ghost Town Cafe and the Pioneer Saloon next door are legendary for their Ghost Burger, omelettes, and over 1000 whiskeys. You can even have your own barrel stored there in racks. The also have ghost tours and astronomy nights there. Ugh, now I want me a ghost burger, with a wee dram to wash it down.
Used to be they were promoting their Fallout: New Vegas collection. They served Nuka Cola and Sunset Sarsaparilla. I think Bethesda kinda shut some of that down, though. Interesting to see on my next trip whether they bring it back, given the success of the Fallout series and the second season being mainly in New Vegas...
