@ewen The TalkPhotography forum that I'm a member of sometimes has a zine exchange. I've thought about signing up a couple of times, but the two problems of design and coherent content have kept me away. The first post here has some good links: https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/zine-exchange-9-january-june-2025.765293/.
I'm in a couple of postcard sharing schemes. One is #PostcardsFromAfar where I'd be assigned to send one card and someone else signs one to me. 1/2
#PostcardsFromAfar Signup now available for September. From @craftymoni: We are exchanging postcard sized prints of our original art. This includes photography, drawing, painting, collage, etc. The idea is to share your creativity and have fun! Names will be drawn mid-month. You will be matched with a person to send a postcard to. You only have to send one postcard to one person. If you don’t see your name in the dropdown list, choose “add me to the list.”
It's fun!

As well as #PostcardsFromAfar, this month I signed up for round 65 of Photrio's postcard sharing event. 22 participants; you get to choose the number of cards you send (I picked 5), and the people you send to should be sending cards to you (IIUC).
Now I need to send this month's postcard from afar, although this time it doesn't have to go very far. The person has an account here, but not posted since 2023, posting more recently on the blue place.
@AlexLuyckxPhoto I participate regularly in #PostcardsFromAfar and have received lovely prints and postcards from France, US, UK, and Australia.
@tomnorthfilm Thanks Tom. That's #FilmFerrania #P33, a new 160-ISO emulsion. I think it's a wonderful film.
The odd thing about this image is that I printed it to use as a #PostCardsFromAfar , and it was just... nothing! Clearly my printing needs some work!
Got a lovely postcard from @ian and the print is in great shape after traveling through the mail! Thanks so much for sharing a great photo.
