Both I would say, they started working on replacing the pole early and worked all day. I used 3 rolls of film covering them thru out the day, the pole was in my neighbors back yard.

I like the silloetting of the linemen by the sun behind the pole. Was this picture framed and taken or just snapped.
It was a shelf in my parents' house-the light was coming through a skylight to the left of me. I always enjoy photographing this apparently everyday sort of subject.Oh God, so that is the key to your enigmatic card!
I received your "Fugitive light" about a week ago and since then I've been trying to decipher it
An unusual play of tones.
Thanks Black Dog!
I also received the jvo's Washington DC card.
I thoroughly checked it expecting to find some more wildlife yet unknown to orthodox science. Found nothing of the sort, but got the idea
Thanks!
Hah ! That's awesome, thanks !!16th postcard arrived in the mail yesterday. Fatso - "Norhtern Exile". Great panorama, the white boarder works really well. love the feel of the card as well. The family here advised me this is the new postcard for the fridge.
I just received fatso's Northern Exile. Either an arctic junkyard or a rather nasty coming together of vehicles on a northern Canadian highway. Very cool. And where did you get that cool paper: panoramic postcard paper? I would definitely buy some of that!
Thanks Paul!
Wow! I've read about the Piezography inks but to actually see (and hold) the grays and details from a drum scan. Excellent! I was a little concerned about sending matte fine art as a post card, but it arrived in good condition with minimal scuffing and edge tearing. Finally, smart use of your paper. I hate cutting paper to size and wasting little strips.
I received you card a few days ago and I've really been enjoying it. A quality image with a good sense of humor on the back!
I’m really enjoying receiving “Northern Exile” from Paul (Fatso) Ozzello. Enjoyed reading about your camera and printing process in above post. Just a Merry Apocalypse to you.

Paul (Fatso) Northern Exile - Fantastic image, elevated even further by the print quality. I am curious - if you don't mind sharing, what paper is that?
Over the last week or two I received three postcards that really brightened my day. This exchange is godsend in these worrying times.
"Northern Exile” by Paul (@fatso ) Ozzello
"2 Linemen" by Mike (@mike c) Clark
"Tugboat on the Hudson" by @Rowreidr (not sure if it is Patrick, Reilly or Rowen)
Every one of these three strong photographs fill me with a sense of nostalgia. It seems that they were taken much longer ago that actually is the case. Time is a funny thing.
Thanks for this!
Bill
Thanks for your card-great to keep getting them!Ah yes, I think someone asked before. I am Patrick and the kids are Reilly (11) and Rowen (8).
Thanks for the appreciation! I took the picture in the Gallery of Modern Art; the light was coming through some stained glass windows, which gave the image that look. You'll find plenty to interest you in Glasgow- the viewing platform at The Lighthouse gives you spectacular views over the city and beyond on a clear day. Be warned though...you can get all 4 seasons in the space of a few minutes. I was once treated to a hailstorm and sunshine at the same time and that was in May!As always, I’m a bit late to comment, sorry. Really a wonderful set of cards this round! Thanks to all!
Rowreidr – Tugboat on the Hudson – I like the grey sky with just a hint of definition in the clouds. I like the longer focal length for this shot so I can appreciate the buildings and the bridge in the background.
hkbenji – Tokyo, Feb 2020 - The highly detailed textures make for a busy image, but you’ve captured a moment of simplicity. It all comes together very nicely.
jvo – wild and wooly – Excellent smooth gradation in the marble and good tonal separation in the fleecy clouds. Did you use a yellow or orange filter? Really nice that you could spend some time printing with your graddaughters.
Oxleyroad – Moss – Interesting use of selective focus for a nature scene; I think it works well here.
Luis F. Sosa – White Fence – I don’t know the first thing about printing digitally, but I am quite fond of the matte texture for this image. It seems like the texture of an old painted board.
BSP – The Lake runner – The pools make really interesting patterns. I’m quite fond of the black border you made. Since it’s a bit crooked, I feel like I’m looking out an old window.
mfohl – Chan Turner’s Barbershop – Nice angle to feature the quintessential barbershop sign and the interesting shape of the building. You’ve captured the small town vibe nicely.
drpsilver – Gooseberry Falls, MN – Magical, indeed! The image is printed very nicely with sparkling white foamy highlights and rich dark shadows. Thanks for sharing!
calphotography – Niece Riding Scooter – Truly delightful! You’ve perfectly captured the energy of a child. Such fantastic smoothness and lack of grain. A real winner!
Lucid – To Osa’s Island – The toning and style make this image feel timeless. The birds are a great additing. I keep wondering what is under the water, or perhaps it’s just sunlight?
MattiS – Drei Annen Hohne Station – A very classic postcard feel. I love how the fog fades the trees in the distance.
Black Dog – Fugitive light, Glasgow #1 – Interesting mottled texture. I would love to visit Glasgow some day. BTW, I love your handwriting, Jake. Some people just have inherently cheerful handwriting, and it’s just very nice to read.
Howard Earl – Barber Shop NYC – Very nice of the gentleman to pose for you. I like how you balanced the storefront and the interior – it tells the story very effectively.
hwv – 3 cubes, 3 lines, 1 arc - Excellent angle and framing. The print is superb – the high contrast makes the strong geometric shapes pop while at the same time retaining enough detail to emphasize the grungy texture of the cement.
fatso – Northern Exile - Merry Apocalypse to you as well! I have no experience printing digitally, but I think you’ve done a fantastic job with this card. I’m extremely impressed with the gradation in the sky. The verso is nicely laid out as well. This really does look like the end of the world, complete with fog fading out into the distance. The panoramic aspect ratio paired with what seems to be a longish focal length makes for an immersive view.
kingbuzzie – Itenerant Cemetery East Austin – The texture of the peeling paint comes through well. I sometimes wonder if it wouldn’t be better if all headstones weren’t made out of wood.
DarinWC – Craggy Rocks, Sacramento – The direct sunlight provides some shadows which accentuate the jagged form of the rock. I quite enjoyed reading the accompanying letter. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks-my niece has been a great model over the years. This was taken at one of our favourite beaches on the Normandy coast, where I've found many a good image over the years. There'll be more to come in future exchanges!17 May 2020
I have finally had the mental "bandwidth" to think about something other than COVID-19 and its ramifications for the world as we know it.
The card from Black Dog is a wonderful portrait that shares the joy of being in nature. The unsharp arms and hands focuses the viewer on the person's face. Well done.
"2 Linemen" from mike c is a portrait of a very different kind. I like how you used the post and sun to create a silhouette for the linemen.
"Tugboat on the Hudson" from Rowreidr is a nice example of a "hybrid workflow". A very nice image well printed with very cool tones. The metallic paper makes the image sparkle.
The panorama from fatso immediately reminded me of Jerry Uelsmann. It is hard to believe that this is a single negative. This region of Canada must be a cool (in more than one way) place to photograph. The paper you selected fits the image very well. My copy survived the postal system quite well.
Thank you to all for a wonderful selection of images.
Regards,
Darwin
I just received @mooseontheloose Rachelle's capture in Hanoi of a streetside barbershop in operation.
A lovely addition to my collection, well composed, developed and printed. Thank you. The postcard survived the trip from Kyoto to Vlissingen in allmost pristine condition too!
I am guessing your Rolleiflex has a standard lens (75mm-ish) and was wondering if the barber heard your click?
I just love square prints on postcards. I might just break-out my Mamiya C220 for the next postcard exchange.
Stay safe but stay alive too!
Kind regards,
Bill @BSP
Thanks Bill, but it was a very delayed card for Round 48.
