Kate - That was quick! I just mailed those yesterday! Helps to be just the other side of the Malahat. So near and yet so far.

Trotkiller's shutter - great texture with the lighting and your printing. JohnnyWalker's portrait of Dakota - a great pose and wonderful printing of the lighter tones.


My cards went in the mail yesterday. I printed 3 different cards this time, all from the same series of photos though. Each time I went into the darkroom to print the postcards, I felt like trying a different negative, so I did! I'll post all three to the print exchange gallery in a week or so, just in case anyone is curious what the other two looked like.

Trotkiller's wooden shutter arrived yesterday. The texture of the wood is great.

A card arrived from Ritchie (thomsonrc) today. All those different sets of parallel lines make a great pattern.

I've received 6 cards so far:
Jake Williams' WWII bunker - Nature's patience has won out in the end, lets hope that can continue with our current man vs. nature problem;
Mark's store window picture of the stocking figures, very nicely done;
Darwin's abandoned shack - nicely toned. I always wonder what stories these old structures have to tell;
Mike's Kodak balloon - nice allegory. To think that Kodak could have provided everything needed to make this print, including the subject;
Sile's gondola. Nice placement of the Gondola. The picture gives the feeling of cold and wet all right;
Sly's picture of the English seaside buildings - very effective composition and use of infrared.

Got 2 in so far.

Mark Fisher, very nice picture. Love the detail in the monkeys. Great out of focus area too.
Jon King, When I first saw your print I thought I was looking at a 4x5 contact print. I don't think I've ever seen such crisp results and broad tonal range from 35mm before. Do you use Pyrocat HD with fp4 often? I'd love to hear more.

Mine are printed and addressed and just need to be mailed out. They don't live up to anything I've seen yet, but I hope you all won't be to dissapointed.
