Double Negative Dispatch Issue #56
One of the biggest things I’ve picked up this year is a love of postcards. In fact, just this morning, a friend showed up to my doorstep with a pack of postcards they bought me while they were in Pittsburgh over the weekend.
During my travels, I now make sure to pick up postcards in as many places as I can, and I’ve started collecting them in a box.
Collecting postcards is cool…but I also love sending them out to people. So, I’m starting a new thing: I want to send you a random postcard.
It’s pretty simple: if you send me your address, via replying to this email or Instagram DM, I’ll send you a postcard! It could be from my box of travel postcards, or one of my photo postcards.
Eventually, I want to start a postcard chain, where I get a lot of people sending postcards to each other, but I haven’t quite gamed out how that will work yet. I thought this will be fun in the meantime.
If you have a fun/weird postcard you’d like to send me, send them to:
PO Box 459
Mauldin, SC 29662
Let’s send some mail!
A Polaroid Flip Desert Road Trip
I recently got back from driving cross country, and I finally got to spend some time traveling with my new Polaroid Flip. Really happy with it, and really enjoyed the change of scenery. The climate was INSANE, it started super hot, got windy and cold, and then got hot and humid, which ended up being difficult for Polaroid film consistency. Also, National Parks are not really my vibe. It’s a fun episode!
Here are some of my favorite Polaroids from the trip:
When I was in the service I met a dude in Germany that showed me around. Guy had tons of postcards. He just gave me a whole stack… I mean I lost them but for a while it was a cool collection to own. Love the idea of sending though. I’ll have to get on that
Fun idea!
