Received two more cards today, both well worth the wait.
Sile's bandstand, well, that's something different than the usual Ilford Postcard postcards; nice. Lynda's bridge... wow, this really works. I guess it wouldn't work for just any picture, but this is a great picture for this way of processing. Quite an interesting combination! Does this combination result in useable slides? If so, I really want to give it a try! Thanks for showing and sharing this.
I sent out my cards - 6 weeks ago -- did any get through ?

Simplicius:
Thank you for the compliment on my card. I am glad you like it. Your card card titled "Eyes Front" made it to Los Altos, California. It looks like a fun street show you were photographing. I am really caught by the one puppeteer that is looking at you.
Received two cards today. The card from Lynda is really cool. I would have never thought of cross-processing XP2 Super in E-6 chemistry. Do the transparencies look good enough to project (like normal E-6 films)? Nevertheless it gives a really cool effect when printed. Nice composition with all the converging lines. Thank you for the card.
The other card I found in the mail is from brchambe. Brian, I know exactly were this is. I used to visit the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum frequently when I was growing-up in San Jose. It is a fascinating place to visit. Nice tones in this image. Like me, you got a Holga with a lens of "sharp focus". Thanks for the card.
I received Lynda's postcard yesterday. Really find it very interesting. I especially like the Frank Gehry building on the right of the bridge. Big, shiny, and metal, that's what I love!
Received Brian Chamber's postcard of the grounds of the Egyptian Museum in San Jose, CA taken with a Holga. Love the look of the image with all its imperfections. Makes me want to try a Holga. Wonder how close you can focus?
