The ongoing joy of receiving photos in the post from about as far away as it’s possible to be on this planet - thanks to @panchromatic.bsky.social all the way from Perth (where my cousins live) for being part of #PostcardsFromAfar

Thank you so much for sending me a print of this Dave. I’ve always wanted a Hartman Titan and it’s a classic Dave in Elland shot. I will treasure it. #postcardsfromafar

Back of an as-yet-unwritten postcard, held up in my hand. It has an air mail sticker on it, and two UK first class postage stamps. One has a picture of King Charles III and the other has a picture of his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II
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

Black and white close up photo of a sheep peering through a gate. The diagonal angle emphasises the geometric shapes of the wooden gate

A print of a tree and lake next to a cyanotype print sitting on either side of an envelope with a sticker of a folding bellows camera.
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. 🤗

Colour frame from Streetview showing a elecomms engineer working on a comms box, while an old bloke in a bucket hat is trimming the other side of the hedge. A ladder stands nearby, and the ground is littered with trimmings. A row of typical English postwar suburban houses stands behind.
Luckily, still had my phone in my pocket (a fact that continues to amaze me, I'm that old!), and Mrs R had not gone too far, so we were able to meet and get her front door key. She had the grace to look sheepish!
Which reminds me, a #PostCardsFromAfar […]

Got my December postcard from afar from @apkeedle.bsky.social.
A very cool low res pen plot, but I had no problem recognizing the awesome ULF trichrome it is from! ❤️

Two black and white postcard sized photo prints. The first is a close up view of a small hanging origami bird, made from paper with a floral print. The second shows a few wooden posts at the edge of a riverbank, with clouds and trees reflected in the water.
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

A black and white print of a fence covered in snow.
A black and white print of a river, with an old bridge and a city in the distance.
A black and white photograph of some train tracks running under what appears to be some kind of overpass. In the center of the image is graffiti on the side of the overpass that reads, “entropy”.
I got a bunch of lovely darkroom prints for February via #PostcardsFromAfar
First two from Daniel Novak. The third one, unfortunately, the signature is messed up and I can’t tell who it’s from! (And the usps printing is too smudged to tell where it’s from!)
