#PostcardsFromAfar
My October #PostcardsFromAfar is courtesy of @astrobeck.bsky.social and was taken at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta with a 35mm Holga. Another for the Bluesky gallery!

I like taking part in #postcardsfromafar . Each month, if you choose to join in, you get allocated someone to make and send a postcard (usually your own photography and/or art) to, and someone else sends to you. There'll be another round opening tomorrow (probably). Sign up open for 2 weeks […]

A couple of hours in the darkroom today while the wild winds rattled at the door. I have a lovely collection of #postcardsfromafar on the wall.

Received this month’s installation of #postcardsfromafar from @fyldephoto.bsky.social who sent a lovely contact print and two amazing mini zines! Wow! The things he can do with a Holga pinhole camera! The print is already up in my Bluesky gallery.

@hikingdude That is lovely. I take part in #postcardsfromafar (rub by @craftymoni though she's not very active here). Each month you take part you send one postcard to an assigned person, while someone else sends (or should send) a card to you. I really like it. I usually send 5x7" cards (13x18 […]

Ahh brilliant look who my September postcard came from! They must have crossed over as they travelled the world 😊

Thank you Kim, this was a cheering little package to get in the post this morning ❤️

I loved getting my very first #PostcardsFromAfar with a little note included! 📨📮
It arrived while I was away and was waiting in the kitchen when I got home. I don't believe the sender is on bsky, but thank you, DavidNovakPhoto.com. 🤗

...actually looking back May and June are both accounted for so maybe this was originally April's postcard?

Anyway the lovely mountain stream photo is from Shom in Illinois, who I don't think is active on here #PostcardsFromAfar

So this is wholesome!

My #PostcardsFromAfar postcard from June went on a little adventure on the way to me

It was correctly addressed and sent from Illinois - then somehow managed to find it's way to Belfast, where some kind soul popped it in an envelope and forwarded it on to me in Glasgow

Putting together an international postcard for this month's #PostcardsFromAfar exchange

An international standard letter is now £3.40, which is conveniently exactly the same as two first class stamps (I hope!)

...turns out one of the stamp books we found lying around is older than the other

I got loads of post today!

Including this month's #PostcardsFromAfar, which is always a lovely surprise because I tend to forget they are coming 😆

Two cracking hand printed photographs from @olu-gh.bsky.social

In that case look out for @craftymoni.bsky.social’s #PostcardsFromAfar postcard exchanges, that should be right up your street!

We’re exchanging postcards of our own work, mostly photographers but a bit of everything really!

There may be a sign up link in a day or two (if it’s on in December?)
December 3, 2024 at 12:41 AM
Ah it got there! Relatively unscathed too, brilliant!

I hope #PostcardsFromAfar is a thing on here too 😊

This month’s #postcardsfromafar showed up a bit worse for the wear, but many thanks to @jayabhat.bsky.social for the lovely print captured on a #Yashica. Another for my Bluesky Gallery.

Between #postcardsfromafar and being sent prints from fellow photographers, I have the start of my own BlueSky Gallery in the hallway. It’s not mounted very formally — just Command strips and some string, but it’s up where I can admire the work every time I walk this way, which is often.

Got this incredible concertina print accompanied by a lovely note from @analoguelass.bsky.social’s typewriter for this month’s #postcardsfromafar. The print is now sitting on a shelf in my living room where I can admire it every day. What a treasure!

Got my #postcardsfromafar for the month of May from the delightful @moragperkinsphoto.com. Just look at this striking #Polaroid emulsion lift she created!

Such lovely shots from @maureenbond.bsky.social for this month’s #postcardsfromafar
