Doh. Was cleaning/organizing and found 3 others I had misplaced earlier. Make that 34/38.
blackmelas: Priests @ Ancient Corinth - great contrast, intrigued by the one in front looking the other way.
Bob F: Thames sailing barge - great job on the color (I've never printed color before), wonderful lines and shapes here
mikeg: Lake Jølster - the somber tones complement the lonely chair at the end of the pier

16. Black Dog - "Undercliffs Still Life 1" - interesting objects and a wonderful tone
17. Klinger - "Ring of Brodgar" - an evocative and moody colour print, and the artifact left by the post office makes it look even more mysterious
18. Matthijs - "Subway Wheelchair" - a great image, moodily printed
19. KingJon - "Tumon Bay" - a very nice tropical image
20. blackmelas - "Festival" - exotic and the print glows
21. Mike Wilde - "Toronto Skyline" - another great colour print
... intrigued by the one in front looking the other way.
Yeah, he was interesting. It was a warm evening at the end of June especially for those in long robes and black wool hats. I have some good shots of some bald headed priests with long ponytails and top knots after taking their hats off. The priest you mention has his hat off and his raybans and kept talking throughout the ceremony (gossip goes on regularly during any liturgy in Greece and this one was no exception)
Thanks for your comments and to all for the best round ever.
Best regards,
James

This all I have recieved so far, I never get as many as I send, but postcards do get lost. BTW mine were mailed yesterday so I bet nobody got one yet! I had them printed a long time ago and labeled, just never made it to the post office. My bad!

I'm starting to worry; absolutely 100% of my cards went out, but I've not seen mine on lists I would have expected to see 'em on... I know Christmas post is slow, but a month is starting to look bad - all I can say is I definitely sent them, honest!
32-Wait, a hand printed COLOR postcard!? this is awesome! thanks Bob! tell me how you did this, I keep thinking about trying.....
Easy peasy... I have uploaded a copy to the Gallery with processing info. If I can do it, anyone can. No special gear required (unless like me you are somewhat colour-blind, in which case a white or neutral grey area in the print and a colour reflection densitometer come in handy )...
Tim Walls: I received your pic of the lamp in a Covent Garden pub (good choice of location!) - randyman notes it a few pages back too.
Tim Walls,
I really enjoyed your pic of the light bulb that you took while in a pub in Covent Garden! It makes me want to check out whether I can still get some enlarger bulbs for some of the enlargers in the cooperative darkroom that I help with.
Location: Taking a trip through time on my silver machine in the White Peak

Tim-got yours as well [IIRC I mentioned it a few pages back].
