Re: Just a thought - and just checking

I can put together a list.

 

If you want to participate in the book/postcard thang. send me an email off list with the subject "book/postcard project" and I'll compile a list of names, street addresses and Email addresses.

 

I am happy to print 40 4X6 prints of my page. but the postage and packing are another matter.

I haven't seen "Blank" postcards here for inkjet printers. Maybe I'll check out Amazon.

 

If I sent all the postcards for the USA plus the money, in a single envelope to someone in the US to forward them it would be a lot cheaper? Any volunteers? I could then mail the rest from here.

 

How much does it cost to mail a postcard in the US?

If my memory serves me well, it was Luis Gottardi who organized the 1st
exchange and the archives of the list may still have the emails on the
topic.

I think it was he who compiled the name list of all participants and who
split them into groups of 10 people. A group leader was responsible to get
the list of postal adresses from/to each group member.

A deadline was set to get pictures out in the mail and the group leader was
responsible to follow-up with each member.

I hope this helps. I'd be glad to participate in the exchange.

Best,

Guy

P.S. We've done this kind of exchange on the Pinhole list on several
occasions with great success.
