Note to self: don't try to print on the back of photo paper! Also, next time take care when using 10-year old label stock to cover the smudged addresses (I'm hoping the labels don't actually peel away)! OTOH a fine sharpie writes well on the back of photo paper. On the third hand, apologies in advance that the Sharpie somehow managed to make my appalling handwriting even worse (nuffink to do wiv me, guv). :-(

Anyway, finally, got all my postcards printed, addressed, and written. I hope to get to the Post Office tomorrow, then they'll be on their way.

My cards are drying on a table, my stickers are printed, and I think I'll get them in the mail tomorrow. I usually use several negatives (sometimes, every card is actually different) - I've only made all my cards the same once before. But this time, every card is from the same negative.

 

[AnselMortensen]

Mine are ready to mail.
They should go out Tuesday afternoon.

Cards away! The Royal Mail postage has gone up over 10% since I last sent a card internationally, which was quite a surprise!

 

[Don_ih]

Mine have gone, also. I imagine the first one will be delivered by the end of the week (it doesn't have to go far).

 

[Ajven]

According to the label my postcards are going to leave this box tomorrow at 8.00am..... I hope all they will reach their destinations.

 

[AnselMortensen]

Mine are on their way!

I'm still pondering what image to use. No big rush.

Me too. And my darkroom closes for the summer in two weeks....

 

[Michael Howard]

Mine are all printed, just gotta label them and send them out. Took a different approach this time as my bathroom (darkroom) is being remodeled. They turned out nicely, hope you like them.

I got it!! The very first one! Thanks so much for 'bringing back our Kodachrome', hehe!

Received the first card of PCX 65, "Leaves" by AnselMortensen. A nice square Hasselblad shot of a group of leaves, very nicely isolated from the background. Good exposure and composition. And almost as interesting as the photo is the collection of stamps on the front: an Apollo 8, a 3 cent American Turners, a 6 cent Leif Erickson, and a 6 cent Air Mail stamp, plus a few others. You must have dug deep in the drawer to find these!

Thanks Doug!
