Postcard Exchange : Round 7

Mick Fagan · Jun 18, 2006

Nige, does that mean you now have your round 8 neg in the can?

Mick.

Nige · Jun 18, 2006

lol! Probably not... not a photographically memorable trip I'm predicting! (2 films developed, several more to be done)

Markok765 · Jun 18, 2006

Im wondering, what should i send out? soccer photo, landscape, street, still life. what genre?

Kevin Caulfield · Jun 18, 2006

Marko, the answer is "anything and/or everything". If you have a series of potentially useable shots, then why not send out several of each? Anything goes, so nothing is "wrong".

Kevin Caulfield · Jun 19, 2006

Okay, I feel like I'm lagging a long way behind here, but I've processed my film and have a couple of potential shots to use. I should get into the darkroom again some time within the next day or two, so I'm on target.

Hello David and Ben,

Received both postcards 17th June, interesting view from David, Ben's 'moon lander' and passing 'ET' looked like old TV pictures great idea and a fun shot.

Regards Daniel

I've just posted all of mine off. Although I only appear to have sent 44 cards, so I think I've missed one. If you don't get yours within a couple of weeks, send me a PM and I'll send you a card as I have a few spare.

Disclaimer: This doesn't apply to people who's cards get lost in the post, only the person I missed.

BWKate · Jun 19, 2006

Kevin,

You still have lots of time! I've got mine all printed but I have to address them all and of course write on all of them. I picked a negative that required no dodging and burning to make it easier.

BWKate · Jun 19, 2006

Tom,

Don't forget to enter the postcard contest! The details are on a different thread that is B&W Film, I think. It wouldn't be hard to find.

I have a list of the people I sent the cards to.

tommy5c · Jun 19, 2006

so why not cross refrence the ones you sent with the original list? you should have 2 names left, yours and the unsent postcard.

Buster6X6 · Jun 19, 2006

metod · Jun 20, 2006

Hi to all! I got Buster6x6 card today. I really like it, creative and different. And so Canadian. Now you have to tell us all how you made that carton of cream stand in the air? I think I know how, but let's hear it from you.

Derek Lofgreen · Jun 20, 2006

I just orderd my paper so I am going to try and get mine printed and out in the mail next week. This round is shaping up to be very nice. Keep them coming.

OK! All the cards wet into Japan Post today (the 20th). I printed 4 images. You'll receive only one, but I'll post scans of all the cards in a week or so. I don't want to spoil the surprise.

Thanks to Metod, Gary Beasley, David Goldfarb, Art, Alex Wei, Ben Reed, and Dharmendra! I received a bundle of your cards yesterday. Seven cards on one day, but none today! Loved all of them. Dharmendra, your's is really special. I love the minimalist composition, and I think that exposing for detail in the moon was the right approach. Now I've got to go out and try something similar.

Hi Metod it was very simple.I used glass cup with some colored resin in it then I stuck white plastic spoon bend it a bit with heat glued carton on to it.
I also received Ben's card today Thank you very much. There is no limit to creativity simple and unique.I just wish post office did not stick a peace of paper with code over the image.

That's what I thought. If the list was checked, there should not be a problem.

I've had a few of those sticky bits of postal nonsense stuck to the front arrive and have been able to gently coax them off, Greg.

Tom Kershaw · Jun 21, 2006

I have just cross-referenced the lists and they match up, so I may have made a mistake in counting the cards before I sent them out.

Thanks for the update, Tom. I have miscounted before too, and this time it's a much bigger group.

gr82bart · Jun 21, 2006

Woohoo!

After 2 and half weeks of traveling, I come back what do I have? 12 postcards! Thanks to tommy5c, Ben Reed, cpandino, glbeas, Mark Fisher, Danial, Shmoo, David Goldfarb, Nige, Alex, metod, and Mick Fagan - in no special order.

Awesome. Can't wait for more.

Regards, Art.

Tom Kershaw - nice waterscape, full of movement. Thanks
