[Dietmar Wolf]

Her name is Jesse, isnt it? She is great. Very relaxed smile. Thanks Mick!

[PVia]

I recv'd two more...!

Mick Fagan's really lovely large format portrait, which unfortunately arrived mangled, the only postcard so far to suffer the fate of the post...and Peter H's Oslo Parliament building in the moonlight; I love the feeling on this one...

Peter, did you expose the Delta 3200 at ISO 3200 or at 1600? I've yet to use a 3200 film...

Thanks for the comments.

I exposed at EI 1600, although I quite often use 1000 with Delta 3200. I find it works quite well (at either speed) developed in DD-X.

BWKate, thank you for your comment too. I was tempted to leave that card completely unexplained so that recipients would have something to ponder but in fact the round knob points upwards.

[BWKate]

Thanks for clearing that up! I am too detail oriented for my own good so these things are important to me.

Hal, Dietmar and Peter, I cannot believe that they got to Europe and the USA so quickly. I posted them on Friday last week, but my post office rang me on Monday telling me that there had been a problem. I use them a lot for business so they know me well.

A postal truck had a collision and some of my mail had been damage. I went to the main mail centre and met my work mail, which had been damaged, but all of the postcards were perfect, except for one, which I replaced on the spot.

So they left here on Monday evening, I saw them at 1750hrs and they arrived around Thursday in Germany and obviously Friday elsewhere, very fast.

Dietmar, very observant of you, yes it's Jesse. Currently she is holed up in Queensland because of the floods from the cyclones, she leaves shortly for home in Germany.

I today received the horses picture from Dietmar, they look like a small version of the Haflinger horse from Austria. Very well composed and a hint of serenity in the stillness.

Paul V has a nice backlit Bamboo Garden, good printing of a difficult B&W subject.

Cheers Greg

I printed my postcards out over the last week, but apparently the chemistry was bad, and I'll need to reprint, so I'll most likely be sending out all of them by the end of the week.
these are all of the postcards I've received within the last week:
Blackdog's house, really lovely lighting.
drpsilver's, great tonal values.
Buster6x6's barn find, superb tonal value's, I honestly would expect to see this in an old book from the turn of the century.
hal9000's Kaufhaus Jonass. I love the lines from the trams[?] crisscrossing in the shot.
Mark Fisher's Zipper. Such a great reminder of my childhood.
Pete H's handrail, such a simple object, great composition.
tlsid's waterwheel. Great value's.
paul Viapiano's bamboo garden. I love the natural light.
07Photo's Thailand image. It's kinda dark for me, but I'm guessing you were exposing for the object in the middle.
Akki14's image of her fish. It looks great with a cyanotype, great choice. Great textured paper as well, might go and pick up some now.
photobizzz's card. When are you getting back to the states?
Mick Fagan's portrait. I was looking forward to yours. Great lighting.

[BirgerA]

Two more cards has arrived.

Mick Fagan - A nive portrait of his house guest.
Mooseontheloose - A ruin from Alsace. The IR film gives it a special mood.

Thanks.

Birger A.

7 cards have arrived in the last week while I've been away.

Black Dog's Secret Life of Objects. especially intriguing with the shallow dof - I wonder what they're up to ? ...
drpsilver's darkroom. Seems remarkably familiar somehow.
A beautiful Bamboo Garden from Paul Viapiano. The composition and toning are great.
Ozphoto's Ayuttaha. Facsinating - I must go there one day.
A contact print of some roots from Kenneth Chelette. I love the shapes.
Mark Fisher's fairground ride. Great shot, but I think I'll give the ride a miss!
Akki14's beautiful cyanotype. It works well with the fish and the textured paper enhances it too.

Thank you all

[Black Dog]

Pete, they're some of my dad's sculptures [I was sort of thinking of those Hans Christian Andersen etc stories where objects come alive at night].
