Received @Michael Howard 's gorgeous "Pioneer saloon". I'm on a Stephen Shore/Joel Meyerowitz kick and this pictures gives me similar vibes. Thank you, Michael!

PS: What a story behind!

I've just received a beautiful card from @rduraoc - thanks so much! Very competently printed and I think the toning works very well indeed. I also quite like the approach of "someone hand me a camera and I'll go out and make something nice with it!"

I also received the lovely card from @rduraoc , another one I wasn't expecting. From the semi-ghostly forms of the figures walking towards us that must have been a rather long exposure for handheld, but everything else is sharp as could be!

Received card from Todd Barlow " Gear and Chain", printed on 41 year old paper. Great print under tricky light conditions.

Received @rduraoc 's "Galerie Ravenstein". Awesome composition! I never knew photo marathons existed. Now those I could sign up for! 🙃 Thank you!

Mine are finally in the mail going to the US, the Netherlands and Ukraine! I hope they get there fast!

And on my end, I've received with great pleasure, @jvo's card of a negative that has waited for the longest time before it could be printed to the maker's satisfaction - thanks so much for this very atmospheric image!

I've received Todd Barlow's "Gear and Chain"...beautifully composed, exposed & printed...I really like rusty metal mechanical stuff, great subject matter!
The card arrived in good shape, amazing for 40 year old Ilford paper..tough stuff! 👍

I also received "Sunday Afternoon, c.2005"...great timing, subject matter & composition! Thanks, Mike!

Most recently, rduraoc's "Galerie Ravenstein" arrived in near-perfect shape.
Excellent image, well seen, with interesting backstory...Nice color tone, I am intrigued by the carbon toning.

When I got back from short vacation, I found two lovely postcards in the mailbox:
- "Galerie Ravenstein" by @rduraoc : very nice composition, many "leading lines" and I really like blurred people in the centre. Very nice shot! I think that must have been great fun during a photo marathon. Especially with borrowed camera!
- "Late Morning Hike" by @pamphoto : That must have been a beautiful trip through Big Bend National Park. The postcard is printed on very thin paper (without any label support on the back) and it was delivered without any damage.

Thank you both for nice postcards!

Hi everyone. This summer has taken some unexpected turns for me (some good, some bad), so while I've been getting postcards, mine haven't made it out yet. They're printed and should go out by the end of the week. Will poke back in in a few days with details on which postcards I've received. Hate that I'm running so late for my first exchange, but I haven't forgotten!

Another present in the mail today - two, in fact! A card by @Daniela - one of your appealing graphic compositions; a pleasure receiving this card! Also many thanks to @mshchem for a card that so effectively captures the setting mentioned in its title - and printed quite beautifully, too!

Just received Mike's lovely 2005 Sunday afternoon. Sleepy lady and two sleepy cats, wonderful!

Received a couple of cards, yesterday. Nice prints from @rduraoc and @mshchem (who should put his username on his print).

@rduraoc - I like how the figures are blurred but you held the camera still enough to get everything else pretty sharp. I think it makes the photo better than a straight shot down the corridor. And I'm wondering what carbon toning is, now....

@mshchem - your cat looks like a tiny tiger. Looks like a peaceful moment. Funny how fast 20 years can pass.

I forgot to mention, I received @mshchem's "Sunday Afternoon". It looks like a nice lazy day, what Sunday afternoons should be.
I also got @rduraoc's "Galerie Ravenstein" taken during a photo marathon. What an interesting idea and sounds like fun! It's a great image too. Lots of leading lines.

Thank you both of the cards!

I received another nice postcard by @mshchem: one calm cat and one calm girl in the background and a small "tiger" in the foreground. Nice shot, thank you.
