Kraker - great news for your family.
Wonderful that your mum is recovering well, and enjoying getting back behind the wheel!
Take a well-earned break, sit back and relax before hitting the darkroom with gusto. I'm sure you'll enjoy it thoroughly.
To those that commented on my earlier post, thank you all for the kind words.
I'm happy to say that six, seven weeks later, things are looking much better, fortunately. My mother is back home again, talking more and more, finding the right words more and more often, and back to her daily routine. She's even allowed to use the car again, and has done so already. All things considered, we're very happy that this is the outcome. Could certainly have been a lot worse. This is just about the best outcome possible, all things considered.
So, with that event mostly behind me, I not only have more time, but, more importantly, more motivation to go into the darkroom. First developing a small backlog of films, but after that, I have some postcards to print.
Received many a postcard over the past months, but I've been so completely out of it that I can't go into detailed commenting for each of them. So I'll just say in general: all the cards I have received are of high quality as always, thank you all!
Thanks!I know it's really late but I wanted to thank everyone for the cards I received this round. As always, lots of really interesting work!
I often organise my cards by theme, and this round two clear themes emerged. The first was "trees," with cards from drpsilver, Keith Pitman, randalcav, and most recently Matt King.
The other theme was vehicles, with TheToadMen's fantastic colour pinhole of the moving truck, to mike c, ozphoto, and Johnny Atari's focus on the details (tire, Porsche scripts, and headlight respectively) to Oxleyroad's captivating "Young Engineer."
Black Dog's "New Year's Day" really captures the beauty of the landscape and clouds, brucocstreet's statues show the pinnacle of human achievement, both physically and sculpturally, megzdad81's HIE portrait is something I've often wanted to do but never have, and finally darwinwc's Leland Stanford Mansion is mesmerising in it's overwhelming patterns and symmetry.
And the same from me too!Yes, I'm back in business. Finally got back to printing over the Christmas holidays. Started off printing some 30-odd prints selected from some 150-odd negatives of our trip through Scotland earlier last year. After this, I selected one (well, first 7, then 5, then 3, then 2, finally just one) of those to print umpteen times and send as postcard, as my overdue contribution to round 38. Posted them yesterday. The one that was addressed to our home already made it back, so at least the stack of cards was collected from the post box by the mailman. The others of the stack will make their way to the fifteen people on my list soon, hopefully.
Happy new year and best wishes to all!
Just received a round 38 belated card from Kraker of Urquhart castle, it reminded me of a rather memorable trip there around 1990. And of course I noticed the swallow was the unladen variety !
Many thanks
Neil
