First time doing an exchange and I'm looking forward to it. I got a jump on printing today and got them done. I had exactly 14 sheets left of 4x6, so I was able to get my 10+3 bonus done with one sheet for test strips. I made a contact print of this 35mm roll but hadn't yet enlarged any. I picked a shot of a unique boulder that I hope is interesting. One of the prints is a "test print". I hope whoever gets it appreciates I went for it
 

Awesome! I printed, still trying to get my laptop to work. Google and Microsoft fighting for supremacy. Dic$!
 
I ordered my paper for this round. I've been using Foma 313 variant (velvet) for prints for myself for a while, I think it's pretty much the best looking RC paper out there. So I decided to do this round with it. Hope you enjoy this paper as much as I do.
 
I hope you guys don’t mind, but I had to send press printed cards from a film scan. I have been cruising Facebook Marketplace trying to find a decent enlarger in my area but haven’t found the right match yet.
 
First card for this round is in the mail in the same envelope with a PCX 66 one. There are still a couple of '66 cards not sent yet, they will go with round 67 cards too, I believe.
Frankly, I've never sent so early in the round before.
 
Yeah, I printed and posted. Record time for me. Usually I'm the last one out the door. I did manage to put some information on the card this time. Sent as a postcard, we'll see how they survive.

Heck, we're neighbors, only a day's drive. I need to open Honest Mike's Used Darkroom Supplies.

Is there a Craigslist in your area?
 
Received my first PCX 67 card today, "Passage" by chris ellinger. Wow, what a great shot, a shadow between two pillars. I don't like to use the zone plate setting on my ZeroImage because it's too soft. But this is great! Works perfectly with the subject. Only one postal scuff. Thanks Chris!
 
Mine will be mailed tomorrow

Thanks for putting this together, George!

-Feb 16th. 18 lucky recipients will soon see what I like to photograph - hang onto your hats ;-) Looking forward to mailbox surprises!
 
Wow, it was fast! Today I received @Don_ih 's "Garage with Snow Shovel":

The line of the path nicely leads the eye from a bent street lamp to the shovel, while the frame is dominated by the geometrically clean facade of a massive garage. To be perfect, the lamp would just need to be lit.
To be honest, we could really use that snow shovel here in South Moravia today as well...
 

Glad you enjoyed it. Fun being back in the swap!
 
I received two nice cards today, both with old buildings. One is Tim RoHe's "Nothing Lasts Forever", a shot of a *massive* house that had been struck by lightning and had caught fire. Can it be saved? But good that you documented it. Second is mschem's "Dendritic Shadows", an old TB hospital,with a very spooky shadow covering the entire side of the house. Both good shots, thanks Tim, thanks Mike.
 
I received @chris ellinger card "passages" first I've heard of the Zone Plate, some sort of spirit. Nice print!
Also received @Tim Rohe "Nothing Lasts Forever " very nice card. Poor old house in it's final days. Would like to know more about the cardstock looks really nice.

Both very well done, Best Mike
 
I excitedly received three cards today! And here I haven't even decided what I'm going to send yet...
From @mshchem comes Dendritic Shadows - a study of trees, buildings and shadows all intertwined. It also included a bit of history on the building.
From @AnselMortensen comes Hatch Chili - I lovely black and white image of a curvy chili. Now I can't wait for H.E.B. (our local grocery store) to get their Hatch Chili everything in. Yum!!
From @chris ellinger comes Passage - a figure wandering through a hallway, or is it a passageway to another time?

Thank you everyone!
