So, who wants to do the instant print 'postcard' exchange again?

[Alex Hawley]

I attempted to do mine yesterday only to discover I have a light leak some where in my rig. Said light leak twasn't there two weeks ago! So unless ya'll want a rather cosmic-looking light saber slash going diametrically from corner to corner of the frame, I'll try again next weekend. After fixing the leak, of course.

Mine are taken, scribbled on and stamped. All that's needed now is for me to take a walk to the nearest post box (taking the prints with me on the way).
So, they should be in the mail soon!

i shot mine and need to mail them but my cats chewed on the corners of some.i am sending them anyways since polaroid is expensive.they are not to bad just letting you all know.

I'm shooting mine now- they'll be going out by next weekend.

 

[Peter Williams]

I put mine in the mail today.

I'm going to do a switch. I'm going to give you guys the 4x5 Type 59 or 79 prints and use the others one's I shot with 600 film for the BIG postcard exchange. ETA out this weekend.

Regards, Art.

The first one made it across the big pond: I received a nice and colourful image from Sam Hotton today; thanks!

I've been on hold with my shooting- I have about 2/3 done, and then it started raining on Tuesday night, and hasn't stopped yet. Don't want to take the polaroid out in the rain, as it will always use the flash even on shots I don't want it for.

Received my first one today - a good abstract 5 from Jacco de Kraker. Thanks!

Mine should be going out on Monday.

I got one from Sam H, thanks! That was quick!

I haven't shot mine yet, sorry..... will do it soon.

I've just been experimenting with selenium toning Polaroid Type 55 prints.
A straight tone in KRST 1+10 gives a slightly warmer result (with a hint of purple) than the straight print but I wasn't too impressed.
Bleaching in potassium bichromate-based bleach, redeveloping in Neutol WA, then toning in KRST 1+10 gives a lovely rich chocolate brown. Yummy.

The only problem is avoiding any damage to the emulsion. Even over-enthusiastic agitation in the trays can cause it to disintegrate in patches.

Got my " pitchure takin' " done yesterday. Addressing tonight and they should go out in Tuesday's mail.

Have received from Heather and Peter Williams. Thanks!

Interesting to note that both the Royal Mail and US Mail delivered Heather's photo with just a small inscription of my address on the back lower border (600 film).

Mine are done on 669 film. You can make an emulsion lift with it if you like.

 

[Alex Hawley]

Mine are in the mail today!

Rec'd prints from Jacco and Sam so far. Both are beauties. Thanks folks!

I got Jacco and Bethe's prints. I've got to get my act organized and put mine in the mail. They're all done now though.

 

[winger]

I've gotten 3 so far.

 

[kraker]

Good to hear that my pics are arriving at destinations across the big pool. Received a nice shot with a lot of water from thebanana earlier this week, thanks.

 

[Akki14]

I've not gotten any so far

 

[Samuel Hotton]

Three lovely postcards arrived yesterday! NO damage, NO post office notes.

The Bananas fluid waterfall
Jaccos strong compositioned highway
Bethes delicate flower still life

Thank you,
Sam H.

I got another one from someone in Canada yesterday. Have no idea who it is though, because I can't read the marginalia on the side of the print. It's a shot of a picket fence or somesuch.

 

[gr82bart]

Hmmm ... Sent mine out on Monday.

Regards, Art

 

[thebanana]

Rec'd "Winger's" today

 

[Alex Hawley]

Hmmm ... Sent mine out on Monday.

Art, got yours yesterday. Thanks for the nice note on the back.

 

[Akki14]

Yay I got my first card today! From Alex. It's amazing! I'm still trying to figure out how you made it look that way. I showed it to my friend (nonphotographer) and he's just as boggled at it as I am. It's amazing, like a handpainted B&W photograph.

 

[TheFlyingCamera]

Art- I still haven't gotten yours from either this or the previous exchange.
