Two more cards arrived today. Tim Gray's back yard and fourth of July. Image is wonderful and spontaneous and Zeiss definitely shows its quality. Jon King's Very nicely presented " Appalachian Cone". Good job.
Wow, this round is really good.

Hey Heather,
I'm no fan of the dentist either - especially not this one! :-)
It's no longer in use, just left that way after the Gaol closed in 1988. What you see in the picture is basically how it was for the prisoners at the time.
And Tim's 4th of July image arrived today as well - reminds me of our 26th of January (Australia Day) barbies - including the flames!!
Hopefully there will be a few more in the mailbox before I head off on another 2 month shoot on Saturday.

Thanks everyone for the appreciative comments on my cards-I've really enjoyed all yours as well. 'The Secret Life of Shadows/Objects' refers to Aaron Siskind's classic essay 'The Drama of Objects' [quoted on the cards], which is a superb statement of what metaphorical/abstract photography is all about. BTW he was friends with a lot of the Abstract Expressionists as well-the influences definitely went both ways here for sure! The object on the mantlepiece is one of the tools [IIRC] we were using at the time while rebuilding the house. Woke up early as I had a ferry to catch and the light was really nice so I ran off a roll of TX in my trusty C330 [is there an APUGGer who doesn't own one?] and got several very pleasing images.Still trying to organise the house pictures into a coherent series!

Received Art's groceries today. I'm Nice trying to decide if it's a bachelor's emergency stash, or shelves in a mini-mart. Also received Jonathon's Bonsai photo. Very nice composition and tones. I'm wondering how big the hornbeam is.
Also received Tim's firephoto, Mike's clematis, and Crispin's gum trees this week. The fire photo would make an excellent advertisement for electric barbeques. Mike's clematis is airy and light, a really good exposure. I've never seen eucalyptus trees as tangled and crooked as in Crispin's photo, and it made me wonder how the firefighters deal with that during the frequent conflagrations they have down under.

New cards arrived from Art; I still have to figure out how he managed to take a shot of our food storage closet without us noticing ; nice shot
and from jbannow; the trees are mesmerising, the fern calms it down a bit. Nice one!
Real life stuff got in the way, and I hate to say that I haven't even printed my cards up yet, so it will be somewhat late. Gonna be in the darkroom next week, and Ill get them out ASAP, sorry about the holdup. I've gotten some great cards so far.
I was just going to post the same thing...it looks like a Hasselblad convention!
I went with small format this time with my Leica M2...they go out tomorrow!
We should exchange cards. We are not on each others' lists, but it is too funny that we live within a few miles of each other! If you re interested, send me your address. I will send you mine.
Two more cards came in today.
First is a wonderfully inspiring image on IR film (I promised my self to try ) from MattKing and what a nice paper such a special feel to it. Excellent.
Second is from jbannow Emmet Co. Pines #1. Very nice perspective and detail. Post office placed a 1/2 "bar code on one side and wheel mark in the middle . But all in all well done. I do like ferns.
Few more cards to come
