Wanderlust

I'm getting itchy to travel again, to see, smell, taste and take in new things. To breathe new air. To take pictures of strange places and faces and things. To drive on new roads. To send postcards. To wander. Hm. perhaps I ought to get out of town this weekend. What do you think?

A few years ago I picked up a pack of postcards in a little shop in San Francisco. I never sent any of them because I just love them too much. Especially as a collection.


There's just something I really love about well-grouped photos and repeating patterns. Mm.

While I haven't put the cards to their intended use, I have put them up in my offce. I also framed a group of them (sorry about the poor photo quality--I took this with my phone):

My next photo project is going to include simple images in pairs/groups I think.

Send me a postcard, baby....

Ah, posting yesterday was a bit of a hassle, so I'm going to do two today. Yesterday what was on my mind was vintage postcards. While my friend and I were in San Francisco recently, we really wanted to find some vintage postcards to send home, but, alas, we never found any. Perhaps we should have checked the internet (although I didn't have a ton of luck there either). I did find these gems though, and I have to share:




I even found these from San Francisco and I think they're great. I love the colors.



I'm going to an antique expo this weekend, so hopefully I'll be able to find some there. I have some projects in mind that include old postcards :)

I was, aptly, listening to The Postal Service.
