Over the past several days, I received Mooseontheloose(Rachelle) and Cara's cards. Two wonderful images. Rachelle, I find I am often picking images from my travels - perhaps they seem more "postcardy"? Cara, I'm curious if you would share any details how you printed it? It came out very nicely on the Ilford postcard paper.
I've selected one potential postcard and I'm developing my most recent rolls, hoping there will be another postcard candidate among the images - these early images are getting me psyched to get into the darkroom to print postcards!

I have recieved cards from Rachelle and JohnnyWalker. I like the conrast that Rachelle has capture with HIE. The peacefulness of Shuswap Lake is very inviting. It turns out I have a friend of a neice that lives near this lake. Thanks for the cards.
My cards were delivered to the Post Office on Friday. They should be in your mail boxes soon. If youy do not recieve one let me know so I can send another.

Jon, unfortunately I have no secrets to share. This was my first time
printing on Ilford portfolio paper and I was pleasantly surprised with the results. The negative already contained a lot of contrast which necessitated a lot of burning on the statue. I used Illford 2000RT developer. I toned half of the cards in thiourea and the other half in iron blue.
I fell in love with this image. I am glad it was well received.
Received the first card of my first postcard exchange today, from Rachelle. Very nice! A picture taken in Ireland by a Canadian living in France. A real international exchange this.

Sile, Dakota is part wolf, but the ears betray her uncertain ancestry.
